Chapter 110: The Legend of the Eight Banners

I don't know when and where it began, there is such a legend, the Manchurian people are less than 10,000, and the Manchurian people are invincible, which is said to have been handed down by the Liao people in the Song Dynasty.

But that's talking about the Jurchens, the Manchus say this is purely far-fetched, the bullshit Manchus are not satisfied with the invincible, not to mention now, it is the time when the Manchus are prosperous, when the Ming Dynasty Guanning Iron Cavalry is still there, the Jurchens can not take much advantage, although the victory or defeat is not said to be five or five, but at least it can still be fought a few hard.

It was only later that there was internal turmoil, and Li Zicheng overthrew the Ming Dynasty, but the Qing army still couldn't enter the customs, why? The Guanning army is still there, and the defenders of Shanhaiguan can still resist the Qing army outside the pass, and the Manchurians are lucky, take shit luck, and meet Wu Sangui, otherwise they are just wandering outside the Great Wall.

At that time, the Manchus did not replicate the glory of the Jurchens, let alone now, the current group of Manchus, Li Qingyuan did not regard them as enemies, but as his own helpers, they could not only act as rat feces, but also make the embankment collapse in the anthill.

Think about such a group of waste, as long as you send some people to fight a little, it is estimated that it will collapse, and then you can break up other queues, as for the strong man breaking his wrist, prohibiting approaching, killing people, no one dares to do it, even if Gu Shun is also full of people, even if he has a name similar to his ancestors, he will not dare.

The Manchu people are the pillars of the country, they are the nation, even after a hundred years of reproduction, the Manchus are only one or two million, which is rare and precious compared with the thirty or forty thousand Han people.

So if he dared to do it, it would not be far from death, Li Qingyuan immediately ordered all divisions to gather their troops, and transferred a musket battalion to Yujiadu by the Yellow River to join him, and Li Qingyuan also left a battalion of troops to guard the county town and rushed towards the assembly place with the remaining three battalions.

Yujiadu was not the only crossing on the Yellow River, but Hou Zheng's men saw that the Qing army was collecting boats there, so it was most likely to cross the river from there, if not far.

Just as Li Qingyuan was moving towards Yujiadu, Gu Shun in the Qing army camp was discussing something with several generals.

Gu Shun took a map and looked at the location of the dense bandits, shook his head helplessly and scolded: "Damn! Why did so many bandits suddenly pop up? I heard that Xuzhou, Shandong is also there! ”

The general below nodded and said, "Who said it wasn't!" It's not that the bandits are making trouble, this Qingshui Sect is resurrected, and I'm afraid that there will be some kind of behavior here. ”

The other said: "I heard that there is another king of Wu Chuang over there in Taihang, and our general Fukangan is encircling and suppressing there!" ”

Another playfully asked: "I heard that this Fukangan is with the above, I'm afraid it's a dragon species..."

Gu Shun glared at his smiling subordinates: "Bastard!" The affairs of heaven are also something you can discuss! ”

The subordinates touched their noses, sneered, and didn't say anything, Gu Shun looked at the others and said: "Speaking of this, Wu Duyan has to learn this lesson this time, we can't let these bandits occupy a favorable terrain, otherwise it will be delayed for a long time, you don't have a backstage, think about how many generals and chief officers have been cut by the master." ”

The subordinate asked, "How is this going on?" Bandits just like to drill into mountain nests, they are familiar with the terrain, how can we block it? ”

Gu Shun shook his head: "This time the bandits are different from the past, these bandits are all self-made firearms, and they are all entrenched in the county seat, we can net them into birds as long as we surround the county seat!" ”

The subordinate who talked about Fukangan interjected again: "General, I heard that the bandits in Shandong are now using self-generated fire guns, which are much more powerful than our bird guns, do you think this Luliang bandit is in a gang with them?" ”

Gu Shun pondered for a while and asked, "Who did you listen to?" ”

"I heard from a salt merchant in Yancheng in the restaurant!"

Gu Shun turned around and said, "No matter what, you have to handle your own affairs well, and start crossing the river in three days, so that your subordinates can take care of themselves!" When someone brings a complaint to me, see if I can't clean you up! Especially you! Let's haar! Your subordinates are the most violent, and recently there have been three cases of folk girls jumping into the river to make trouble for me! Let them collect the points and station them in the city, and it's not fun to wander around the kilns in the city? ”

Bar Ha'er grinned: "This poor country is all, and the brothers don't have a good time!" ”

Gu Shun said angrily: "Play and play!" You are also a descendant of the Blue Banner Hrabaturu, what else will you do now besides spending time on a woman's belly! ”

Bar Ha'er laughed and said: "I don't like to hear what you say, isn't the great country laid down by our ancestors just for future generations to live a good life?" If we don't enjoy it, how can we live up to the expectations of our ancestors..."

Gu Shun scolded angrily: "Do you have a little shame!" Look what you're going to do besides cockfighting! ”

Bar Ha'er didn't speak, but with an attitude of what can you do with me like this, Gu Shun said for a long time, and saw that the other party didn't listen at all, so he had to shake his hand angrily.

Bar Ha'er can take Gu Shun's words as a fart, but the others don't dare, restrain their subordinates one by one, and prepare to cross the river, this army crossing the river is not Li Qingyuan's thousands of people as long as the people and weapons have passed, but it is different, at that time Li Qingyuan didn't even have every other day's food, so there was no baggage at all, but the Qing army was different, grain, grass, ordnance, tents, these had to be brought, some camping things had to be carried, and the order of the troops crossing the river had to be arranged, in short, when there was no hurry, It is normal for 20,000 people to cross the river for two or three days, and the preparatory work in the early stage is just a sentence for the leaders, and for these generals, it is just a few words of arrangement, a few orders, and the rest of the things are the arrangements and operations of those in charge of the busy work, they are very hard but they are not the most unlucky.

The most unfortunate were the fishermen who were recruited for fishing boats, as well as the small boat owners who were in the ferry business.

Is it your honor to use your boat? No, you will be cheaper if you invite guests to dinner, and the small boat owner can barely eat the old book, for those fishermen it is a catastrophe, how can they have any savings, the daily fish catch goes to the tax and the filial piety of the fish head, and the rest is barely exchanged for some rice and grain to get by.

You may not believe it, the big fish can't afford to eat fish, the hunting people haven't eaten meat, the wheat growers haven't eaten white flour steamed buns, these are all extremely normal common sense, and no one thinks there is anything wrong with this.

Zeng Ah looked at the Qing army gambling on the shore, looked at his fishing boat, sighed, has been arrested for two days, today the family has been cut off, if it weren't for his son and a few children in the village, touched some water chestnuts, crabs and mussels and shrimp, today everyone can only eat wild vegetable porridge.
