Chapter 129: Soldiers and Horses of the Four Provinces

[Seeking ......, all kinds of requests]

In mid-June, Chen Guang and Chen Liang had news passed over one after another.

Emperor Qianlong did not mobilize the 'Eight Banners and Tigers' in the capital and mobilized the men and horses of Jingzhou, and took the Jingzhou general Yongrui as the main commander, sending 2,000 troops to unify Henan, Hubei, Shaanxi, and Anhui. Hehenan Governor Asiha, gathered the thief army in western Henan.

In the mouth of Emperor Qianlong, Chen Jiajun became a thief army in western Henan, and these orders and decisions were all made public in the newspaper. It was not difficult for the Chen family to collect it. A piece was also sent to the personal information of Yongrui, the general of Jingzhou.

Chen Ming said 'oh' after reading it, no wonder the word 'Yong' began, it turned out to be the Manchu Qing clan, who served as a general in Xi'an more than ten years ago, and then fought back and forth in Jingzhou and Hangzhou. A person with Yongrui's identity has no great ability, but his identity is there, and he can only be a Taiping general. If something really happens, you still have to rely on real capable officials. For example, Ah Gui or something.

Chen Ming didn't look at Yongrui in his eyes, nor did he care about the 2,000 Eight Banner soldiers from Jingzhou, he cared about the soldiers dispatched from Shaanxi, Hubei, and Anhui. Judging from the location of these provinces, it can be expected that the Shaanxi Green Battalion must be attacking Luoyang, Anhui and Henan will join forces and kill from the east, and then the troops of Hubei and Hanzhong, and they are indispensable in the south.

"Ming'er, Runing's offensive needs to be strengthened, and the city of Ruyang [Fucheng] must be taken." Chen Hui is a smart person, and he can fully understand the intention of Chen Jiajun's dispatch of troops this time. So now that he received the information from the dark camp, he immediately felt the huge threat from the south, and his eyes were fixed on Ruyang.

After knocking out the city of Ruyang Mansion and knocking out the nerve center of Runing Mansion, after the Qing army entered Henan after fighting Wusheng Pass, the convenience of collecting materials and manpower along the way should be reduced by at least half. If the Chen Jiajun can rush to the end from north to south before the Qing troops in Hubei are assembled, and take down the Wusheng Pass, the trouble for the Qing troops will be even greater.

However, this wish is like Chen Jiajun to the east to get Huaining, the capital city of Chenzhou, and Luoyang, the capital city of Henan to the north, which is not realistic. Chen Jiajun did not have such a strong military force. Even if they only go all the way south, they don't want a piece of land in Runing Province.

"In addition, there are many prisoners of war who have come to the mines, road construction teams, and coolie battalions to surrender, and it is too wasteful to let them continue to work as coolies.

Chen Hui was protected by the left battalion of guards from beginning to end, and the five hundred elites could not be said to be able to protect his safety, but Chen Hui knew very well how short the Chen family army was on the battlefield. Especially after the General's Mansion publicized the retro crown of cutting braids, the towns and villages under the rule of Chen Jiajun rebounded, and there were more places to use manpower. Chen Ming even sent out the Boy Scouts that were established at the beginning, which shows how short manpower is.

Chen Ming's eyes quickly swept over the paperwork handed to him by Chen Hui, and a look of surprise flashed on his face, "It's so many?" He really didn't expect that the militia townsmen and even the green battalion soldiers who were captured in just a few days would cry and wipe their tears one by one. Is it just because of a bite to eat?

"There are going to be fifteen hundred, and of course we can't just let them do coolies."

"These people are not as good as our own army in terms of combat effectiveness and loyalty, but it is enough to fight a good fight."

Chen Hui then asked, "How are you going to arrange them?" "He really doesn't understand military matters. Fortunately, Chen Ming never disappointed him.

"With the squad platoon as the system, all of them are disrupted and stuffed into the existing ranks. As for whether they will be used as cannon fodder in the future war, or whether they can only be left behind, it depends on the level of the specific officers.

Military pay is better than that of the Boy Scouts. Give them another idea, follow the team to charge three times, or hit the striker once, and then turn them into our regular soldiers. ”

"These people have already cut their braids, and our Chen Jiajun's braids have been spread all over the world now. With the urine that the Qing soldiers can do to kill the people and risk their merits, these people just take the initiative to surrender, and they can't escape death if they are afraid. "After all, my current Qing Dynasty is at the peak of the country's strength, and how do you see that the Qing soldiers are also in an absolute upper hand, which is different from those princes and marquis who surrendered to the Manchu Qing in the middle and late Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, such as Wei Jun and others.

A trace of fluctuation flashed in Chen Hui's eyes, "Yes, even surrendering will inevitably lead to death." We cut our braids and raised the banner of anti-Qing and Han restoration, and we were caught by the imperial court, and there were few cuts. ”

Chen Ming listened to Chen Hui's words, knowing that his cheap father was still worried in his heart, and he had no hope for the prospect of the 'revolution'. said: "Dad, the Manchu Qing Dynasty has millions of soldiers, and the money and food are inexhaustible. But can Qianlong really send a million troops to besiege us? If you don't want soldiers to guard the territory in the north and south of the river?

No matter how many troops the Manchus have, they can't beat us to death with a stick. In the future, there will be changes in the world! ”

As far as Chen Ming knew, the Qing-Burma War that was taking place in Yunnan was to be fought for seven years, during which the Qing army suffered heavy losses, and finally won only a nominal victory, and although Burma surrendered, it did not suffer heavy losses in the real sense.

And in less than two or three years, it will be the second battle of Jinchuan in history. Historically, Qianlong worked hard to pull the border troops in the northeast to Kangding, and fought for several years before he completely took it. This is not the Qing army taking the initiative to attack Jinchuan, but the people of Jinchuan do not forget the old enmity and take the initiative to provoke it. That is to say, the Qing soldiers could not fight if they wanted to, unless the Manchus could sit back and watch the big and small Jinchuan become bigger, or the Manchus themselves were held by other things -- the second rebellion in history of the Great and Small Jinchuan Rebellion may also be the head of the large and small Jinchuan people, Tusi, who saw the bear that the Qing soldiers fought in Yunnan, saw the stalemate of the Qing-Burma War, and thought that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Anyway, if there are no major changes in the wheel of history -- the wind and waves set off by the small wings of Chen Jiajun will not be able to blow the Qing-Burma War and the Great and Small Jinchuan, and in the next two or three years, the Qing troops in the southwest will not pose too much threat to Chen's army.

Of course, it is also possible that two or three years later, Chen Jiajun has developed into a behemoth. The forced Qing court couldn't even take care of the stability of the southwest, mobilized the country's elite soldiers, money and food, and fought the Chen family army wholeheartedly. No one can say for sure!

Isn't Qianlong annoyed right now? Before and after the three towns of the green battalion, tens of thousands of soldiers were destroyed in the hands of the Chen family, is this the size of the Ping Jinchuan Ping Junggar Ping size and Zhuo? How long has it been since the Manchus suffered such a loss? It came from the heart of Zhongzhou? Unforgivable.

Chen Ming returned to his residence, and as soon as he made a little noise, Li Xiaomei threw an eye dart over, and Chen Ming knew that the child must be sleeping.

Xiao Chen Ding is seven months old, and he exudes a milky aroma all over his body. The child was brought by Li Xiaomei herself, although the Chen family found a nurse for the child when they were in the cottage.

Chen Ming will not raise any objections, the Chen family is not from a wealthy family, Li Xiaomei is willing to take care of the child herself, the wet nurse becomes an ornament, and the old lady and the Gao family don't say anything. When Chen Ming was young, wasn't Gao also the milk himself. Moreover, Chen Ming has been going out to fight for a long time in the past six months, and Li Xiaomei has a sustenance for taking the children in person.
