Chapter 270: This is called the True Soldier
9th Infantry Battalion, 8th Infantry Battalion, 6th Infantry Battalion, 4th Infantry Battalion......
One after another the main old battalion was humiliated by the cavalry battalion, reconnaissance troops, sniper troops, artillery, etc., and an irrepressible anger erupted in the infantry ranks.
"The Grand Duke's strategy of agitation is really effective," Liu Dezhao said excitedly...... Since that night's drunkenness, Liu Dezhao has made a new change in the position of simple deputy director of the chamberlain's room, and the secretariat has been assigned to him, and Liu Dezhao is also the head of the secretariat.
"It's too empty. It's all a momentary outrage. A decisive battle cannot be won by this little strength. Continue south. The Qing army didn't dare to go to Gaoyouzhou, let's wait for them in Taizhou! "If the Fu Han army can recover its morale at that time.
On the side of the Grand Canal, Chen Ming on horseback looked at the troops rolling south on the bank of the canal, his eyes were cold. His trick did work, but it was too small and too small. Today's Fuhan Army is like a big bubble, and its morale seems to be in full swing, but in fact, it will burst as soon as it is stabbed.
"Let the dark camp closely monitor the Qing army, especially the Qing army horse team."
"Spreading the news to the people of the Mixed Yuan Sect, this is a great opportunity for them. Winter is coming, and I ask them if they have enough food to eat. ”
Liu Wudao on the side: "The Shandong Qing army went south with one or two hundred thousand people, but the Mixed Yuan Sect still hid in the mountains like a turtle with a shrunken head, these people are ......, not good people!" ”
"Humph!" Chen Ming let out a cold snort in his nostrils, the Fu Han Army just went to the countryside with power, and it was incompatible with the gentry and landlord class, and the Mixed Yuan Sect directly made the P map of Old Master Confucius, which is not inferior to the Taiping Army smashing the Confucian Temple, right? Even if this thing was instructed by him Chen Ming, is there any evidence? Confucian scholars, scholars in the world will only hate the Mixed Yuan Sect.
When the Fu Han army was really overwhelming, the gentry would kneel and lick, and the Shilin would bend down. But as for the Mixed Yuan Sect, they have really offended Shilin to death, and no one who has a little bit of character will get involved with the Mixed Yuan Sect. Moreover, the Mixed Yuan Sect is Li Zicheng's set of big eaters of red fruits, they are natural enemies in the absolute sense with the gentry and landlord class, and the foothold of the Mixed Yuan Sect is still the land of sages in Shandong, and these people are destined to have no bright future.
At this time, if you are clever, you can only say that the vision of the three giants of the Mixed Yuan Sect is like that.
……
Li Xiaomei and her baby son are still living in the General's Mansion, and Xiao Chen Ding is two years old, and he is already walking quite slippery. was raised by his mother for nothing, and the two-year-old doll weighed thirty pounds.
As Chen Ming's wife, Li Xiaomei's dignity doesn't need to be said, but at this time, she was in tears. No matter how much the maid on the side persuaded her, she couldn't stop Li Xiaomei's sadness.
After many investigations, the secret camp of the Fuhan Army found traces of the Li family's stay in Yueyang, Hunan, but after further investigation, no clues could be found. Chen Chengzhi, who was ordered, wandered around Hunan for a month, but he really had no clue, so he had to report a letter to Li Xiaomei.
Chen Chengzhi wrote this report with a sad face, and the current prospects of the Fu Han Army are getting brighter and brighter, and the weight and dignity of the General's Mansion are getting bigger and higher. This is like the landlord and the county magistrate, the prefect, and the governor in the countryside.
The Chen family was first nested in the mountains, and the Chen family was a rich man at that time, and Li Xiaomei was more expensive in their one-third of an acre of land, and it would not exceed too much, because the ceiling of the Chen family was too low. When the Fu Han army becomes stronger step by step, and the Chen family has changed from a rich man to a county commander, a prefect, and even the current governor, where can it still be the same.
The Li family is the wife of the Grand Duke. The third generation of the Chen family's lineage is now only the little son Chen Ding, Chen Ming has been fighting abroad for a year, and he has heard that he has accepted women, but he has no children, and there is no news of pregnancy, and no matter how many women there are, it is for nothing. This will only make the Li family and the little boy more noble.
Chen Chengzhi was ordered to track down the whereabouts of the Li family, which was a good errand, as long as it was done, the Li family's great favor would be earned. What a good errand!
Now it's been in vain. Chen Chengzhi can only pray that the Governor's wife will not hold a grudge against him for the sake of running around Huguang for many days, without merit and hard work.
This report was passed to Lushan and to Li Xiaomei's hands, which dealt a big blow to Li Xiaomei. The pain of being separated from her husband for almost a year has not made Li Xiaomei cry once in front of outsiders, but after reading this letter, Li Xiaomei just couldn't help it.
What will happen to the Li family after leaving Yueyang? Now that the south is in chaos, Li Xiaomei's chest is like a big stone blocked, and tears are flowing out, and she can't stop it.
"Oh, this kid ......"
The old lady and the Gao family were both shocked, looking at Li Xiaomei, who was holding the letter in her hand and tearful, her face was full of helplessness.
"Old lady, madam, the little lady has been making trouble looking for the young lady since he woke up, but the young lady is ......, and the slave doesn't dare to bring the little lady. Your second elder should persuade the young lady. The young lady has been crying for half an hour, and the slaves and maids are useless, so they really can't persuade them......"
This scene in the general's mansion had no impact on the general situation, because the power of the Fu Han army was not held in the hands of women. They, like the women of this period, were just appendages to men.
Since the base area divided a force to the south, the Qing army in Kaifeng and Guide gradually returned to its original position with the approach of the Manchu army. Chen Ming's army obviously had to deal with the enemy from the north, and the threat to eastern Henan was greatly reduced. Therefore, with the return of the Qing army on the Eastern Front, the team that went south from the base area was also quickly collected by the General's Mansion, and brought back 30,000 or 40,000 refugees from Yunyang Mansion.
Since last year, the Fu Han army evacuated Yunyang Mansion, the latter ......, because of the shortage of food, it really suffered a great disaster, many rural towns are empty, and half of the ten people remain in the same place is already densely populated, and the shacks in the mountains are even more abandoned. If the time of the Fu Han Army was not short, it would be impossible to get back 108,000 from Yunyang Mansion. Although the current 30,000 or 40,000 refugees are a little less, they can still provide 3,500 new soldiers for the Fu Han army.
Chen Hui also received a secret letter from Chen Ming from the flying pigeon in the dark camp at this time, and he was originally full of confidence in the decisive battle of Huai'an, frowning slightly, still full of confidence in this decisive battle.
"Ming'er's retreat is called a true soldier. The ancients said well, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles. What does it mean to know oneself and one's enemy? This is knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent. The sergeant has no fighting spirit and insists on a decisive battle with the enemy, which is the most incompetent stupid fool. I was already full of confidence in the first battle of Huai'an, and now I am more at ease. Chen Hui said to the outside world, he didn't pretend to be calm and reassure people, but really thought so and thought so.
The general high-level officials of the General's Mansion tasted Chen Hui's words, and had to admit that Chen Hui's words made sense. Chen Ming's actions are definitely worthy of 'knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent', so he can also 'survive a hundred battles'! I hope so.
……
On the Grand Canal, a fleet of ships that cannot be seen is moving, and these are the boats in the Tianjin area. The ships were loaded with all the grain and military supplies, and on the land on both sides of the canal, the long dragon of land and brave horses came and went. The Qing army of 50,000 people, almost a real 50,000 people, in the Manchu era, this was an absolute army.
Qianlong fought with Burma, and only mobilized about 20,000 people, and the green battalion here still had to count all the vacant soldiers. That is to say, the Qing army led by Mingrui at the beginning, the so-called 26,000 people were only 26,000 people on paper, after deducting the vacancy, and then deducting the old, weak and disabled soldiers, he was thankful that there were 20,000 people.
And now the '50,000' Qing army that fought south of Beijing has really become 50,000 Qing troops, although they claim to be 100,000 heavenly soldiers.
Chen Ming didn't care about this, the bigger the bubble that the Qing army was boasting about now, the greater the shock it would cause after the defeat in the future. 50,000 people boasted of 200,000 or 300,000, and Chen Ming was even happier.
The red sun is rising, the golden sun shines on the Grand Canal, the scales are shining, the autumn wind mixed with the wet and cold water vapor is blowing in the face, reflecting the number of greenery on both sides of the river, and the end is picturesque!
Feng Shengyi is not only the commander of the New Army of the Eight Banners, but also the Minister of the Guard, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, and the Mongolian Commander of the Blue Flag. Only in this capacity can he command 10,000 Eight Banner Foot Cavalry and command 50,000 Manchu and Han troops.
Standing at the bow of the boat, Feng Sheng's forehead was wearing regular clothes, a yellow jacket on his upper body, and his face was cold by the autumn wind. After receiving the news of the withdrawal of the Fu Han army from Huai'an, he used to be ecstatic, but now he has calmed down, and the autumn breeze has cooled his face and calmed his fanatical heart.
It's really like what Hailancha said, this thief chief, who is no more than ten years old, is like a veteran of a hundred battles on the battlefield. The army came down from the north, and it was when the morale was inflated and the soldiers were sharp, and Chen Wei 'retreated', which seemed to show weakness, but in fact it was beneficial and harmless.
The small stove in the cabin was burning, and the warm wine was boiling, and the smell of plum blossoms was bubbling with the bubble of plum blossoms.
The apes on both sides of the strait could not stop crying. The light boat has crossed the Ten Thousand Mountains.
The army left Beijing, passed through Shandong, and arrived at the Yellow River in a blink of an eye, and the decisive battle was ......, and it was coming. Feng Sheng's forehead faced the newborn sunrise in the eastern sky, his face was hesitant, hesitant, pale, and frightened, and countless expressions kept changing, and finally stayed at perseverance, incomparable perseverance!
The hesitation of the war money, the hesitation and fear under the pressure, the abundance of the forehead is also a person, he knows the heavy responsibility he bears, so he can't help but be afraid, he bears the hope of the entire Manchu Qing Dynasty, and is facing an undefeated general who has won a hundred battles, how can he have a contemptuous posture? But Feng Sheng's forehead also knew the heavy responsibility on his shoulders that he made up his mind to fight to the death.
In this battle, he Niu Hulu Feng Sheng, although the success is uncertain, Chengren is determined! Fight to the death also.
Emperor Qianlong in the city of Beijing stared at northern Jiangsu with blazing eyes. The battle in northern Jiangsu is about the overall situation and is crucial. This army is the strongest card he can play, if Feng Sheng's forehead can't make a contribution in one fell swoop, and Chen Rey will be beaten out of the south of the Yangtze River - yes, Emperor Qianlong doesn't believe that Feng Sheng's e.g. can wipe out Chen Ming's entire army in one battle, and even capture Chen Ming, a thief chief who makes him grit his teeth and hate it to the extreme, then Chen Rei really can't be cured.
