Not to mention the reaction of Emperor Qianlong and the Manchu princes and ministers after Liu Yong's death was reported to Beijing, it is said that Liu Tongxun, the 'benchmark' of the Han ministers of the Qianlong Dynasty, fainted directly after hearing the news of the death of his eldest son. Liu Tongxun has three sons, the second son and the third son are very good, and the grandchildren also have successors, but the eldest son Liu Yong is his favorite person, and now ......

The entire city of Beijing was silent, and the 'notoriety' of the secret camp became even more despicable and shameless in the mouths of countless children of the Eight Banners and the children of Han officials. Let the upcoming Qianlong and his wife's Qianqiu Christmas cast a shadow. But none of this can hinder the southward army in Yancheng.

That is, on the ninth day after the incident, the southbound army received a courier from Beijing, and the Manchu Qing posthumously presented Liu Yong as the governor of the second grade, the cavalry captain and the cloud cavalry lieutenant, gave Wenqing, and placed his spiritual seat in the Zhaozhong Temple. In Shandong and Jiangsu, special shrines were built for him. Such generous treatment caused quite a stir within the Qing army in the south.

The court has given a lot of honor.

The Qing army stayed in Yancheng for another four days, and then the horse team went south, and the infantry team and the boat team slowly followed, all the way to Taizhou.

Chen Ming didn't care about paying attention to the arrangement of the Northern Bureau of the Secret Camp on the Qianqiu Festival of the Niu Colu Clan, and he didn't let people block the Yunyan River, Chen Ming didn't want to fight a protracted war in Jiangbei, although Huang Jie had proposed to block the Yunyan River, sluggish the march of the Qing army, and then quickly attack Jiangnan with elites, this is a very good proposal, Chen Ming was very excited for a moment. But in the end, he rejected it.

The main force of the Fu Han Army, the fighting spirit of the army is growing little by little, and Chen Ming is very afraid that the sudden transfer and battle will extinguish this momentum. Although intellectually speaking, breaking the Qing army in Jiangnan is a thing that can boost the morale of the army. But after thinking about it again and again, Chen Ming still rejected this very good proposal.

The Fu Han army has a lot of meat these days, pigs, sheep, cattle, chickens, ducks and geese, fatty fish and bacon, it can be said that there are them every day. One by one, the soldiers ate with their mouths full of oil, and the intensity of their training was increasing little by little. This is just like the training camp before the start of the new season of the football team in later generations, and the high-intensity training will only restore the soldier's state to a more perfect state under the high morale of the army, rather than exhausting and becoming a tired soldier.

In Huai'an before, Chen Ming wanted to train like this, but it was only two days before he found that the morale of the team had dropped, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly stopped. Now the situation is a 180-degree flip, and the morale of the army is getting higher and higher the more they practice, that is, the will to fight is still a little floating, and it has stabilized after a few days of training.

"Governor, the army of Fengsheng has already moved south. From Yancheng to Hai'an Town, and then from Hai'an Town to Taizhou, it is only 300 miles. In six or seven days of fast, nine or ten days of slow, the Qing army arrived. ”

"Get the word on. The whole army must be mentally prepared. Chen Ming leaned back in his chair, playing with a pair of jade walnuts with a whole body of emerald in his hand, which he found in the jewelry he had offered to Qingjiang hh. Chen Ming likes this kind of small thing very much, no matter what the quality of the jade is, as long as it has his eyes.

"The training was raised to a higher level, and he said to the soldiers, five days, the governor only needs five days, and after five days, they will be given a big vacation." As he spoke, Chen Ming had already stood up, and he walked out of the room in a few steps, and the climate in Taizhou in autumn was still very pleasant. The trees in the courtyard were already dyed golden, and the fallen leaves were swept away by the wind.

The autumn harvest has passed.

This year's autumn harvest in Hunan, Sichuan, Zhejiang, Guangdong and other places are bumper harvests, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Zhili are also very good, and even the harvest in the south of the Yangtze River in Hubei is also very good, but the north of the Yangtze River is not very good. There is also the central and southern part of Jiangxi, and the harvest is also good. However, without Jiangsu, Henan, Shandong, Fujian and other provinces, the average value of the Manchu autumn tax was suddenly pulled below the level line.

"If you win this battle...... Chen Ming will lead the team to gnaw down Suzhou, and then attack Hangzhou once, if you can win the best, it won't be a big deal if you can't take it. Anyway, if the battle of northern Jiangsu is won, the Fu Han army will not have to worry about the enemy in the north all winter. The territory of Jiangnan was laid, and they did not try to occupy it for a long time, and the team pressed to Hangzhou Bay, so that they could get direct contact with Zhang and Zheng from the sea, and then send them hundreds of cannons, the stronger the strength of these people, the more difficult it was for the Manchu Qing to suppress, and the more beneficial it would be to the Han army.

The Fu Han army could also get a huge amount of sulfur from them, so that in the next year, the large army would return west to the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, seize Hubei, link southwest Henan, and take Hanzhong in the west......

Chen Ming sketched out next year's grand strategy in his mind again and again, thinking that if everything went smoothly, by this time next year, the Fu Han Army would already be a behemoth entrenched in southern Henan and one part of Hubei, one part of Shaanxi, one part of Jiangxi, and one part of Anhui. Chen Ming felt irrepressibly happy and happy. When the time comes, hold a imperial examination, win over the local scholars, no matter how many people come to participate, always express your heart. Just like the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom back then, the grass platform team, Hong Xiuquan smashed the Confucian Temple with his brain on one side, and opened the imperial examination on the other side? It's also very ahead of time to get a women's test. And those who read also had people come to take the exam, and they didn't seem to see the smashed Confucius Temple. Therefore, what China lacks is that there is no shortage of people who want to be officials.

"Grand Duke, new news from the Dark Camp. Zhou Peixun is sick......"

Liu Wufeng ran to Chen Ming and said excitedly. Zhou Peixun is sick, Zhou Peixun is sick, this guy is really sick. He is sick, and Shandong Lianyong is about to be completely chaotic.

"What about Shandong Lianyong?"

"According to the officers who bought the secret camp, Feng Shengyi and Wang Jintai reached an agreement internally, and the entire Shandong Lianyong was divided......"

"Divided, how do you say that?"

"It was divided into many portions and distributed to the Manchu soldiers of each department."

Chen Ming sneered, "Still be cannon fodder." ”

"What is their morale now?"

"It's very low. I heard that people flee every day. ”

"Then tell the news to everyone, the Qing army and ourselves."

For the Qing army, this was a great inauspiciousness; Dealing with the Fu Han army, this will make the high morale even more high-pitched. Even Chen Ming himself, an unprecedented sense of confidence suddenly rose in his heart.

Nearly 10,000 Shandong have practiced bravery, even if the combat effectiveness is worse, it will not be much worse than the green battalion, right? Now that such a split has been made, can they still save one percent of their strength? People are afraid that it is not only Ding Yong who is under him, but also the leading President Lian, and even the officials behind President Lian.

This Shandong soldier is no longer a hydra, but a real nine snakes. Or nine snakes that were hit seven inches.

The autumn wind blows, and the autumn leaves are numerous.

The leaves fall to the ground one by one, with the unique charm of gold, rendering the harvest of the earth.

Cool air, golden leaves, autumn unique scenery, autumn unique charm.

Sow one millet in spring and harvest 10,000 seeds in autumn. This is the harvest season, and I hope that the Fu Han army can also usher in a rich harvest in late autumn.

Chen Ming kept looking at the treetops in the courtyard, but he didn't know where his eyes had fallen, and the two jade walnuts in his palms were spinning.

One order after another was issued from the heart of the Fu Han army, and when the heads of the battalions had dinner at noon, news and rumors, whether true or false, had spread all over the sky. This is like a scoop of oil, which makes the burning morale of the Fu Han army more vigorous.

As for whether this is really the case on the part of the Qing army, who will bother with this?

Just like the Qing army that went south, it has been preaching that the Fu Han army has no fighting spirit and is as timid as a mouse, and many Qing soldiers really believe it. It's a truth.

The Qing army going south is like a long dragon game in the salt river, the boat of the abundant rise is very conspicuous, I heard that this is the Qianlong Emperor went down to the south of the Yangtze River to play the special imperial boat, the front and back head and tail are more than 17 zhang, the upper and lower two floors high, can carry one or two hundred people, and the water surface is as flat as the ground. At this moment, the left and right sides of the ship were full of Goshha, and the open windows were mostly covered with curtains, and the Qing army was very well guarded against the snipers of the Fu Han army. Although idle people are not allowed to walk around the distance of ten miles from the Salt River, what about the tunnel?

They have suffered a big loss in Yancheng, so they have to eat a trench and grow wise.

There was a thick blanket in the cabin, and people walked on it without making a sound. Feng Sheng's forehead is still wearing a yellow coat, and the whole person is buried in the book, and countless things in the operation of the army need to be dealt with by him, even if there is a deal below, he needs to be informed.

In terms of busy military affairs, the amount of Fengsheng is not as good as Chen Ming, and it is not a few points worse. Because the internal affairs of the Qing army were constantly fighting and strife, to a certain extent, the official affairs of Fengsheng were ruthlessly enriched. The musket battalion and the new army, the musketeers and the horse team in the banner soldiers, expanded to the flag soldiers and the Han soldiers, between the Han soldiers in the sky, between the green battalion and the Shandong green battalion, between the green battalion and the Lian ......Yong, there will be too many things every day.

As soon as Liu Yong died, Shandong Lian Yong became an ownerless big cake, and everyone wanted to pounce on it and take a bite. Feng Sheng's forehead first asked Zhou Peixun to mention Shandong to train the brave army, and now it looks like a joke. Zhou Peixun can't replace Liu Yong at all, there is still the secret hand of the Kong family in that Shandong Lian Yong, and Feng Sheng's prestige in Lian Yong is not as high as he imagined. So, don't blame him for being ruthless with Lian Yong.

Fortunately, now this trouble is finally over, the Manchu and Han armies have divided the huge Shandong Lian Yong cleanly, and in the past few days, I don't know how many Lian Yong Lian and the officials behind them have died of illness.

"General, I have captured another eighty fugitive Ding Yong."

"How much has the total number of ministries been reduced?"

"More than one hundred and fifty, one hundred and twenty."

Feng Sheng leaned back in his chair, a touch of fatigue flashed on his resolute face, "It is still done according to the old rules, the leader is executed, and the rest are put into the death camp." There was a slight pause in his voice:

"You don't have to report this kind of thing in the future. Just follow this rule. Let the soldiers of all battalions and the militia always stare at a little, and their eyes will brighten. "Because among the people who escaped, it was not only Lian Yong, but also the Green Battalion soldiers. The Eight Banners soldiers did not flee, they were sick a lot.

"Huh!"

On the riverside of the Yunyan River, eight Shandong Hans were pressed to their knees by the Qing soldiers. Behind him stood an executioner armed with a ghost-headed knife. With an order, eight rays of light flashed in the autumn sun, and eight human heads fell to the ground. The horse infantry on foot, the men and gunners on the ships, were no longer strange.

Since the chaos of Shandong Lian Yong, there have been Lian Yong deserters one after another. As long as they were captured by the Qing army, all the people were going to die at the beginning and all of them were beheaded. The Portuguese such as Fernández and Blanco, who had been squatting on the boat, painted crosses on their chests and chanted: "God forbid! ”

Then the number of killings decreased, and then there was an additional battalion head called the death battalion in the sequence of the Qing army going south.

To this day, no one remembers how many deserters were beheaded by the Qing soldiers, but the size of the death battalion is expanding rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. It is said that there are almost 1,500 people. It is not a problem to gather 2,000 men before the start of the war...... (To be continued.) )
