Chapter 582: The Head of the City
Xia Qingyun's words silenced everyone, and they all showed indignation and sadness.
Since the time of Qin Shi Huang, China has always been kind to the East, but the 'reward' of this white-eyed wolf is a continuous plague for hundreds of years.
These beasts, in collusion with pirates on the sea, attacked Chinese merchant ships, killed people and seized goods, set fire to ships, and destroyed corpses.
On the east coast of China, they plundered villages and towns, burned, killed, and looted, and did all kinds of evil.
Now that he is a little more fledgling, he sees that the Qing Dynasty is weak, and he has the intention of the wolf's ambition to get involved in Huaxia.
Xu Bangdao let out a long sigh, his eyes were also red and swollen, both from the smoke and flames of the Japanese artillery shells, and from the death of his heartbroken old subordinates:
"Jiang Shunfa and Liang Yongyi have been with me for twenty or thirty years, when the imperial court was disarmed, they went back to be two rich men who teased their grandchildren, this time I pulled them out, and before leaving, I also drank the wine of Jiang Shunfa's three girls; Alas, this damned Japanese army! ”
"Our Sheng Army, fortunately in Liaodong, General He was retracted, and it was reborn into today's new Sheng Army; However, the old guys over the years, Da San, Dao Sheng, Ru Cheng, Xianyin, ,—— have dismissed their officials, been imprisoned, and beheaded, some of them deserve it, but some of them are really wronged! ”
Jia Qisheng said as he spoke, and old tears began to appear in his eyes: "Wenli and I have been partners for nearly thirty years, and this time it is also more auspicious; This scattered and scattered army, the old man who fought the peace back then, is now the only old man left to survive in the army. ”
He Changying threw the cigarette butt outside the city wall, picked up a white steamed bun, and said to Jia Qisheng: "I thought that Jia Junmen blamed me for reorganizing the thirteen battalions of the Sheng Army. ”
"I did feel a little chuckled at first; Let's not talk about the 8 battalions of infantry, just the 5 battalions of cavalry, strong soldiers and strong horses, the continuous hair of the Mauser fast gun of the Qing Dynasty, and the war horses of the Mongolian Hetao, we are the only one in the Qing Dynasty; Even a division of the Japanese is only five or six hundred war horses. ”
Jia Qisheng said slightly unhappy: "And you didn't say anything about the 13th battalion of the Sheng Army, but you specially stopped almost all the generals and battalion officers inside; I also understand this reason, but when these generals and battalion officers returned to Jinmen, they were all locked up and taken to the prison of the Jingshi Criminal Department, and none of them escaped punishment for the crimes of harassing the people, Pyongyang escaping, and Andong burning the city. ”
He Changying touched her nose and didn't speak, thinking in her heart, 'You deserve it!' ’
The 6,000 army spent the blood, sweat and silver of the people in Andong and waited for death, and was frightened by hundreds of Japanese troops to set fire to the city and escape.
Of course, for whatever reason, they are self-inflicted! Last time you came to rescue Dongluo City, I've been slowly figuring it out these days—"
Jia Qisheng smiled bitterly and said: "In the face of the arrogant Japanese soldiers, we can no longer divide the Sheng Army, the Ming Army, and the Yi Army, nor can we say anything about Beiyang, Nanyang, and the imperial court; Everyone is from the Qing Dynasty, and the strength should be in one place! ”
Jia Qisheng took out a dirty broken handkerchief and wiped his eyes: "At this time, if you continue to fight inwardly and don't twist into a rope, then it's really all over; It is a shame to let those dogs and foreigners laugh to death our Qing masters! ”
He Changying put down the steamed bun again, handed out a circle of cigarettes, looked at Jia Qisheng and said: "There are many good generals in the younger generation of the Sheng Army, Qu Desheng is the commander of the cavalry of the Anti-Japanese Army, Wu Ruisheng is a deputy regiment commander under Li Bohu, and there are many good seedlings, all of which are being cultivated and ready to be reused in the future." ”
"Lao Jia, it's really reasonable that you can think like this; I was very angry when I saw that the veterans regarded the camp head as a cornucopia of their own wealth, and the treasures were so good that no one was allowed to touch them. ”
Xu Bangdao continued: "The plates are about to be overturned, still fighting, still fighting? First of all, we have to work together to win the battle, and as for the meat rotting in the pot in the future, it can always be measured slowly; Besides, if you defeat everything and win, which general do you think will be able to keep his battalion in the future? ”
"When the Sheng army was fighting the Taiping Army, there were 40 battalions of soldiers and horses and 20,000 elite soldiers, which were transferred to the Jinmen garrison station for 23 years, and were repeatedly dismantled, and there were at least 17 battalions during the war; The 30th battalion of the sixth brother of Zhongtang Wu Yi Army, before the war, there were only 9 battalions left, Xu Junmen's Gongwei Army 2 battalions of infantry, 2 battalions of horse teams, 2 battalions of artillery battalions, and only 2 battalions of horse teams and 2 sentry artillery teams were left before the war. ”
Tang Shaoyi leaned against the battlements of the city wall, gulped hot vegetable soup, wiped his mouth with his sleeve and said:
"Previously, everyone was leaning against the big tree in the middle hall, so they could still support the shelves of the armies; This time, Beiyang has been defeated all the way from Seoul, and Beiyang has been broken apart. The Qingliu of the imperial court, the governors of various places are advocating the formation and training of new armies, and the 'Dingwu Army', which Hannagan occupies tens of thousands of acres of fertile land in small stations, is an attempt. ”
Tang Shaoyi said in his words: "When the time after the war, the imperial court issued a holy decree to dismiss the Beiyang armies, and there was no backbone who could stand up and talk to the imperial court, what should I do?" ”
As soon as he heard Tang Shaoyi say that the more than 100,000 acres of fertile land in Xiaozhan Station, Jia Qisheng and his nephew who followed him, Jia Rongchun, the newly appointed captain of the pro-army, immediately turned red.
Those fertile fields are the pioneers of the Sheng Army, Zhou Shengchuan, Zhou Shengbo Military Gate, commanding tens of thousands of Sheng soldiers, and spent five years to open canals and communicate canals.
More than 60,000 acres of land along the river have been transformed step by step into high-quality fertile land that can be cultivated, as the foundation of Shengjun's Tuntian.
In the next 14 years, the Sheng army continued to reclaim both sides of the river, and obtained a total of more than 100,000 acres of fertile land.
The food and drink of tens of thousands of troops, as well as many subsidies for the New Year's Festival, all come from here.
Tianjin and Beijing are expensive, this acre of fertile land is worth more than a dozen taels of silver, and 100,000 mu is millions of taels of snowflake silver!
As a result, the emperor's holy decree fell into the pocket of the 'Dingwu Army' and took away their Sheng Army's family funds.
Can Ann not be angry?
"The Liaodong Sheng Army, as well as the 4th Battalion of this Guancheng, was fortunate to meet the general; Raw, there is food and silver to support the family, as long as the general can not forget his promise, he will also have something to support, if he closes his eyes and dies, the family will also have no worries about food and clothing. ”
Jia Qisheng said with red eyes: "It's just that I pity the brothers who died in the Korean war, the court said that they were deserters, not only did they not have a penny of silver, but their families couldn't raise their heads." ”
Regarding the matter of the Korean army, He Changying was also powerless.
Although the Anti-Japanese Army had a large amount of donations from the Chinese in Nanyang, tens of thousands of troops had to spend money everywhere, and the time to really spend a lot of money was still to come.
More importantly, since the imperial court has set such a tone for the Qing army who died in Pyongyang, if he Changying sends silver, wouldn't he be clearly working against the imperial court?
'Buying people's hearts and intentions', this big hat is sure to be worn.
Then there are the various means of the imperial court, and the whole country is criticized and written.
He Changying could only avoid talking about this issue, but for Jia Qisheng's doubts, He Changying felt that she could clearly explain it to him.
