Chapter 370: The Heart of the People Turns Back (2nd Update)
Bi Yuntao committed public anger this time, and no matter how strict the military law was, he was shot without touching it twice, and a large number of people from Gu'an began to dispense medicine to him in front of Guoxing'a. Many people have dug up Bi Yuntao's black history, he has a tendency to be a second or fifth boy, Guo Xing'a should immediately dismiss him, and then send Chengtai, Xilab, Tuha, Tong Jia and other loyal subordinates who have followed Guo Xing'a for many years to take over the infantry regiment.
A long time ago, Pi Runmin and others pointed out to Guoxinga that there were many small groups within the Gu'an Army, and they hoped that Guoxinga would attach great importance to it. Although Guo Xing'a has also paid attention to it, he always feels that everyone comes from different backgrounds, and it is normal to have some intimate relationships, and he didn't take it seriously, but this time he has seen the power of these small groups. Although the officers from Gu'an were very politically conscious and did not engage in such a stupid thing as a joint letter, the rhythm of besieging Bi Yuntao was not chaotic at all, and they not only had to get rid of Bi Yuntao, but also seize the power of the infantry regiment. Although the people they recommended were all Guo Xing'a's cronies, these people were all from Gu'an, and no one had ever mentioned Cao Meng, Li Zhi and others.
Although Saishan, Xiande and other flag leaders did not make a clear statement, the meaning of support is obvious. They didn't think about whether Bi Yuntao did the right thing this time, they considered how much power the Gu'an officers could grasp. The infantry regiment is an old ace unit, and it is still in the hands of its own people. Guo Xing'a is the boss of the Gu'an Banner people, but the younger brothers also have their own little abacus. Even Fengsheng'a and Acton, who are very close to Bi Yuntao, did not speak for Bi Yuntao this time, and they chose neutrality without saying a word. In the face of a bunch of intricate relationships between the seven aunts and eight aunts, it is not easy for these two to remain neutral.
The three of them can become tigers, not to mention that it was a group of people who besieged Bi Yuntao this time, and Guo Xing'a, who had not expressed his position, also had some thoughts. Bi Yuntao's political position has always been very resolute, but his choice is the imperial court, although Guo Xing'a is generous on his face, he is still very uncomfortable in his heart. Fortunately, at this time, Pi Runmin said a word for Bi Yuntao, "For the political army, the first thing is balance, and you can't make one family dominant!" ”。 It is precisely because of this sentence that Goxinga replied after being bombarded with fatigue for two days - good kill!
The words "kill well" Guo Xing'a had already thought about it, and he had been hesitating whether to move Bi Yuntao. Now it's not an outside war, they are fighting in their own territory, how can they still be presumptuous at will. Moreover, the battle with Yixin is not only a military struggle, but also a political struggle, and it is so important that the people are against each other. Therefore, although Bi Yuntao is a little excessive, it is very necessary to win the hearts and minds of the people.
Guoxing'a had a certain tone, and the Gu'an officers who were still somewhat politically conscious stopped at that time, and all the departments of the Gu'an Army held small circle meetings. There is nothing to discuss in the small circle meeting, it is to convey a spirit, the commander wants to crack down on military discipline, and quickly inform the brothers to rein in, otherwise be careful of your life. For a time, all departments of the Gu'an Army began to pay special attention to military discipline, not only the eight disciplines, but also the three disciplines, and even the attitude towards the common people was particularly kind. The recruits have just come out of the people, so they naturally feel good, but the veterans are about to scold their mothers secretly. Don't let things be robbed, little girls don't let them touch, this day can be aggrieved. However, the name of King Guoyan is so good that no one dares to come out to find death, and the Gu'an army has completed the transformation from a mighty army to a civilized army at a high speed.
Compared with Shengbao's gang of bastards, and then look at Bi Yuntao's actions, Han Bingzhong and the people of Wuqing have the heart to erect a monument to Bi Yuntao, the gap is really too big. The news that Bi Yuntao executed the eight-rank military attache who was like a brother for molesting women spread all over the land of Zhili for a while. After being bullied by Shengbao and some places that may be bullied by Shengbao, they began to take the initiative to move closer to the Gu'an Army, and they can't control who is orthodox in the imperial court and Sushun and Guoxinga, and it is true to kill Shengbao this bastard first.
Wen'an, Xiongxian, Bazhou, and Anxin, the four counties that had been harmed by Shengbao, took the lead in hanging up the eight-star flag to express their support for the Gu'an Army. In fact, the magistrates of these four counties don't want to mix anymore, Shengbao has already crossed the border, they are safe, and they can't afford to go to troubled waters again. But the local people and squires didn't do it, they either had their families ruined or their wives and daughters were harmed, how could they not want to seek revenge from Shengbao, even the officials and soldiers were thinking of this. If the four magistrates didn't cooperate, they would start anew and go to the Gu'an Army by themselves. In the spirit of heroes not suffering immediate losses, the four magistrates could only hang up the eight-star flag holding the sun.
Zhuozhou, Dingxing, Xianghe, and Baodi have the experience of Yongqing, if they support the imperial court, Shengbao may come to them, they don't want to be princes. They are already close to Guoxing'a, and the Gu'an army said that they would clean them up, so it is better to take the initiative to take refuge now, at least there will be the Gu'an army to protect them.
In fact, there are several counties such as Jinghai, but they are not based on counties, and the entire Tianjin Prefecture is the whole government. Wen Yu was in the military grain city in Tianjin before the anti-water, although Wen Yu rebelled against the water as the governor of Zhili, but the attitude of the Tianjin government has been ambiguous. Although Tianjin turned a blind eye to the exchanges between Gu'an and foreigners, Tianjin still refused to approve the goods purchased by Gu'an itself. Bi Yuntao stayed in Wuqing and did not move, just monitoring the movements of Tianjin.
After the Wang Ziyu accident this time, officials of all sizes in Tianjin got together to discuss it. Their immediate superiors have reversed, and although they have been insisting, the situation is not optimistic. What's even more disgusting is that the position of the Gu'an Army just separates Tianjin from Beijing, and the officials in Tianjin, big and small, are fighting behind enemy lines. It was precisely because they were behind enemy lines that the Prince Language incident had a considerable impact on them. The marginal area can be said to surrender to the enemy, what should they do if they are behind the enemy, it is not cost-effective to hold on for a long time but become a thief, it is better to follow the old leader to join the Gu'an army. Therefore, all the Tianjin government has been replaced with the eight-star Japanese flag, which is fully open to the Gu'an Army, and the materials of the Gu'an Army are not only transported casually, but Tianjin is still helping to raise them.
The Qing Dynasty died a Wang Zhi County, the Gu'an Army died a platoon commander, although the two sides did not see each other again, but the four hundred miles from Tianjin to Jingnan all fluttered the eight-star Japanese flag. The new ammunition that Goxinga has been waiting for has also doubled its production speed because Tianjin has fully opened up. The imperial court suddenly fell into a panic, the original troublemakers, in addition to the officers under the command of Guo Xing'a, only Su Shun, Guo Xing'a, Wen Yu, Zhu Duoyou four court officials, now suddenly became dozens, the momentum is huge, how can Yi Xin not worry.
And this time it really moved the foundation of the imperial court, Su Shun, who was originally making trouble, was a co-organizer of college students and ministers of Gu Ming, Guo Xing'a was the minister of Tuogu, and Wen Yu was the governor of Zhili, all of them were senior officials, no matter how hard the two sides fought were political disputes, it was not about the children below, but this time dozens of children were involved. Although these people have small official positions, they are local real powers, and they represent countless people and goods. With their support, Yixin's plan to trap Guoxinga was basically aborted, and Guoxinga still had the possibility of growth.
Before the big rebellion against the water in one government and nine counties this time, there was only one county on the Sushun side, which was Gu'an. Zhu Duoyou of Gu'an Zhixian lives in the palm of Guoxing's hands, and he can't be loyal to the imperial court, it was originally an ornament, so it doesn't matter whether he is rebellious or not. This time, a guy went to more than a dozen counties, and Guoxing'a can be regarded as a base area, and Guoxing'a also has the ability to govern the locality. Originally, Goxinga was just a military group, and even if they occupied a certain place, it would be difficult for them to run local institutions for a while. Now that there are so many capable old officials who have taken refuge, Guo Xing'a can completely inherit the local institutions of the Qing Dynasty, and he doesn't have to spend any cost at all.
Of course, Yixin's side is not all bad news, Monk Greenqin finally returned with his descendant cavalry, and Chunyou of Rehe also went south with a large army. However, they did not carry out the original plan to encircle and suppress Guoxing'a from all sides, but all rushed to Jingshi by detour. Chunyou really didn't go to Guoxing Adan to practice, and Seng Lingqin was serious. Monk Greenqin did not dare to despise Guo Xing'a, a rising star, but regarded Guo Xing'a as a great enemy in life. After some careful analysis, Seng Lingqin found a problem, after Guoxing Asheng captured Ruilin and Wenxiang, he also merged the rest of the two, which was a good time to march into Gyeonggi in a big way, but Guoxing A was very strangely stopped in Tongzhou and did not move. It is reasonable to take a break for the entire three or five days to train and surrender troops, but Guoxing's stop is more than ten days, which is a bit contrary to common sense.
From early October to late October, Guo Xing'a did not move, allowing Shengbao to toss blindly on the Yongqing line. But it was in this kind of connivance that the Gu'an army took the nine counties of Jinan without using a single soldier, and Seng Greenqin had absolutely reason to believe that Guoxinga secretly had a big plan.
Monk Lingqin, who had been defeated by foreign guns and foreign artillery, was very jealous of the field combat ability of foreign guns and foreign artillery, so he took it for granted that the reason why Guoxing'a stayed in Tongzhou was to wait for the arrival of the soldiers and horses of the king of Qin, and wanted to settle the battle in the field. As long as Guoxing'a exterminates all the soldiers and horses of King Qin, Beijing will be a lonely city, and Guoxing'a can calmly besiege it, and Yixin will not be able to run away if he wants to move the capital to resist the war.
It is precisely because of these considerations that Seng Lingqin did not go to Bali Bridge to sadly find Guoxing'a for a decisive battle, but led his troops to return directly to Jingshi. Guo Xing'a wanted to fight a field battle, and Monk Greenqin wanted to strengthen the city defense, but Monk Greenqin admitted that he would not go to the field to fight with Guoxing'a. Now there is no need to worry about any political influence, he has to rely on the majestic walls of Beijing to block Guoxinga. When the soldiers of Guoxing Adon are under the fortified city, when the cold winter comes, he can think of a way to cut off the grain road of Guoxing A.
However, Seng Lingqin guessed completely wrong, the backlash in the nine counties of Jinan Prefecture was completely the fault of Shengbao, and Guoxinga did not make any arrangements at all. The reason why Goxinga stayed in Tongzhou was to allow the troops to adapt to the new weapons while waiting for ammunition. Goxinga was a man who liked to be well prepared, and he expected that he would definitely have to fight a decisive battle with the Qing army, or even a protracted siege battle, so he had to be prepared with absolutely sufficient ammunition. Because the arsenal had not been able to continue with the materials and the production progress was slow, Guoxinga had been waiting in Tongzhou.
When Seng Lingqin began to fortify in Beijing, the treasury of the Gu'an Arsenal was finally full, and Guo Xing'a had the capital to squander wantonly. However, Guoxing's first target is not Beijing, where Seng Lingqin and Chunyou are entrenched, but the bastard who is boiling with public resentment.
