[Thank you for the 1000 coin reward of 'I like fate', thank you]

The eighth day of the third month of the 145th year of Chongzhen is a day that will be remembered by history, because the real Manchu-Han decisive battle on the Beijing-Tianjin battlefield, which had been tense for a month, began on this day. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Integrating the 1st and 2nd Divisions of the Shandong Army, the 1st Division of the Jiangsu Army, the 1st Division of the Guangdong Army, the 1st and 2nd Garrison Divisions, the Guards Brigade, the Guards Brigade, the Cavalry Brigade, the Shandong Cavalry Regiment, and three artillery regiments, a total of 100,000 troops, Chen Minghao drove out of Tianjin City.

At the same time, the 1st Division of the Fujian Army and the 1st Division of the Jiangxi Army respectively contained the Qing troops in the direction of Dagukou and Junliangcheng, and the Marine Corps of the Naval Division was responsible for garrisoning Dabo and Tianjin.

Chen Ming didn't know where the decisive battle between the two sides would begin, so the army went straight to Beijing along the North Canal.

Anyway, no matter how much Ah Gui shrinks, he can only shrink to Tongzhou, if Ah Gui's hundreds of thousands of troops keep shrinking back to Beijing, how can there be a little bit of morale left in the Qing army?

Chen Ming sat back and watched the flight of millions of bannermen, so that the Qing army had no worries, but it also drained most of the Qing army's heart, and there was no family member connected with them behind them, so how much determination could the Qing army have left?

This is also when Xiong Bingzhang touted him, Chen Ming realized it later, and then cheekily acquiesced! Of course, another consequence of this is that the Qing army will no longer have a burden to escape, and the proportion of them fleeing when they see the situation is not good is also higher than the sky. In the vast mountains and plains of the northeast in the future, it is also unpredictable and unknown how far the contest between the Fu Han army and the Qing army will develop.

"Tell the soldiers that if this battle is successful, the world will be ours. From now on, no one can take away the land they now have, and no one can spoil their present good life. There is no longer a foreign race riding on the head of our Han people, and there is no one whose slave is more noble than our Han people......"

"Your Highness! His Royal Highness Wansheng ......"

"The Han army is mighty!"

"The mighty ...... of the Han army"

To boost morale, Chen Ming didn't need to do much at all. The morale of the army was already boiling like boiling water, and the 100,000-strong army marched mightily on the flat North China Plain, and the loud military songs shattered the clouds in the sky.

The warm spring breeze is particularly gentle, the warm sun is with it, and it shines on everyone's faces, the heavy cotton clothes have already been taken off, and the red blended wool military uniform is very powerful, and only one shirt needs to be worn inside, which is the standard equipment of the soldiers of the Fuhan Army at this moment.

The 100,000-strong army that strode forward stretched for more than twenty miles in front and back, and the entire army was seven or eight miles wide, and the cavalry troops were scattered thirty miles away. Batches of fast horses carried messages like tired birds returning to their nests, and gathered all kinds of information to the staff headquarters.

Chen Ming traveled from Tianjin to Wuqing, and a relatively clear message came, Hexiwu, the reconnaissance cavalry of the Fu Han army found a large number of Qing army horses in Hexiwu.

The name is a very unfamiliar name to people who don't know much about geography. In fact, since the opening of the Grand Canal, there is the throat of the waterway in and out of Beijing, and the imperial courts of all dynasties have set up various yamen such as banknotes, post stations, and military equipment here, and the highest official rank is the third grade, which shows the prominent status. Two hundred years ago, the Ming Dynasty began to build a brick city in Hexi. In the two hundred years since, the prosperous Hexi has always been known as "the first town in Jingdong" and "the first post in Tianjin".

"Your Highness, there are at least tens of thousands of Qing army horses in Hexiwu. Our troops could not enter the ten miles west of the river at all. "The dense cavalry of the Qing army is denser than a spider's web, and the reconnaissance cavalry of the Fu Han army infiltrated again and again in vain.

Chen Ming immediately asked people to take out the map of Hexiwu, in fact, he had a certain understanding of this place in his mind, and he felt that this was not a suitable place for battle, there was too much water.

And after the entire map was taken out, Chen Ming was even more firm in his point just now - this place is not suitable for large-scale battles at all.

"It's really weird, the Qing army obviously has an absolute cavalry advantage, why did Ah Gui choose to be in Hexi?"

"The cavalry of the Qing army appeared in Hexiwu, but it may not be that the decisive battle site is set in Hexiwu."

The voices of the staff officers around him came, and Chen Ming looked at the map in a deep voice. In Hexi, where there are many waterways and ditches, since the Qing army arrived first, they naturally held the stone bridges between the rivers, and it was naturally convenient for them to adjust their troops.

But how can it be? Even because of the complex geographical environment here, the large army of the Fu Han Army was 'divided' by nature. Will the Qing army and horse team be able to launch an attack? Don't go, the river is also blocking the Qing army's horse team!

"Spread out to the left and right flanks." Maybe Ah Gui really put the battlefield in the area of Hexiwu, but the main battlefield is not Hexiwu Town itself, but Hexiwu is regarded as an obstacle that cannot be passed by a large infantry group, leaving a group of cavalry inside, which can pose a great threat to the Fuhan army passing on the side.

The large army stopped at the county seat of Wuqing. Before the cavalry sent out to reconnoiter returned, someone in the countryside of Wuqing County reported to the Fu Han army that the Qing army was in Xianghe, north of Wuqing.

Because the Qing army ignored the remaining Han people after frantically relocating the people a few days ago, a large number of Qing troops pulled away a lot of stones from Wuqing County. It was originally used by the Qing army to build a blockhouse in Wuqing, but it was too late, and the Qing army did not have the spare strength to build a defensive position at this level in Wuqing County around the blockhouse, because it had no effect at all. Now the Qing army has to think about the decisive battle of the Great Army, a battle of life and death!

The Xianghe River is sixty miles away from Wuqing, and if it only enters the territory of the Xianghe, then this distance can be shortened by half. Between the two are the Feng River, the Liangshui River, the North Canal, the Wangjiawu Diversion River, and the Wotou River, five rivers.

"Report ......"

When the Fu Han army came to report Chen Ming, the Qing army's scouts also sent the report to Ah Gui's hands. The latter did not arrange the main force in Xianghe County, but Duji, which is almost twenty miles south of the city. This place is flush with Ping'an Town, and Ping'an Town is in the northwest wind of Hexi Wu Town, and the three points almost form a regular triangle.

The 150,000 army, after converging with the Fulle Division, plus the Shuhed Division, which was transferred back by Agui, the entire Qing army has reached an astonishing number of 150,000.

Every day, the amount of grain eaten by people alone is as high as 4,000 stones, and there are more than 80,000 war horses, oxen, donkeys, and mules, and the amount of beans and forage used every day is also an astronomical amount.

To fight a war is to fight money, and to fight logistics is to fight.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty organized operations on the spot, and their logistical pressure was so great that it was boundless, and the Fu Han army fought across the sea. If it were not for the Confucius, Meng, Yan, Zeng, and other families in Shandong who contributed their own family resources, the military expenditure of the Fu Han army from the beginning of the first month to March would have increased to 12 million to 15 million silver dollars a month.

During the entire process of transporting military and military supplies from Shandong to Guangdong, outsiders could not predict how many ships and manpower the logistics department had raised.

"Your salary can be used to increase your taxes by 25%!" In order to reduce monetary spending as much as possible, the Chen Han government did not even close the obvious loophole of 'debt transfer'.

So much so that the big businessmen in the provinces have used 5% to 10% of the price to extract their 'salaries' from the shipowners.

This measure alone cost Chen Han less than 5 million real money and silver transportation costs.

Therefore, after the strength and various military reserves were roughly completed, no matter how leisurely Chen Ming behaved before, he didn't want to spend a quarter of an hour now, and immediately sent out troops.

It's just that the internal atmosphere of the Fu Han Army is very good, and everyone knows that each unit of the various formed units that have been brought together is sent ashore, which means that the time for the decisive battle has taken another step. In this way, the form of almost the whole army being open is very similar to Chen Ming's 'countdown to the college entrance examination' in his previous life, so that the mood of the whole army has always been at a very high level.

In the end, the general headquarters only gave a little guidance, and Chen Ming shouted two slogans in a timely manner to boost the nerves of the officers and men of the whole army, and the high fighting spirit of the entire army rushed to the peak.

If it weren't for the belief in victory to support Chen Ming, he would have been suffering painfully during this waiting time.

can always behave calmly and calmly, and in his heart he is really not nervous at all, Chen Ming can have this kind of performance that I don't know if it is a wide heart or a real 'ignorance', it is not simple.

Anyway, the day of the decisive battle has come.

The Fu Han army stayed in Wuqing County for two hours, and found a large number of Qing reconnaissance cavalry on the north bank of the North Canal, so that Chen Ming was sure that the source of Wuqing was correct, and when it was still about three hours before dark, the army left Wuqing County and headed north, and before it was dark, the vanguard crossed the North Canal fifteen miles east of Hexi Wu Town.

Ah Gui has been silently watching the eastward direction of the Fu Han army. When he heard that there was only one regiment of the Fu Han army crossing the North Canal, he shook his head helplessly.

"Don't you fight a dozen?" There are Eight Banner Army generals on the left and right asking for orders.

Ah Gui categorically vetoed. What to fight? The length of a canal is just as long as the people have enough firepower to cover it, which is like the Qing army. The 150,000-strong army is so huge, but there are only 200 cannons when they are full, and half of them are still old cannons.

The soldiers below didn't know that after all the millions of Eight Banners arrived in Zunhua City, Ah Gui received a secret order from Yonghui, asking him to protect the New Army of Eight Banners as much as possible when necessary.

Just as Chen Ming thought, the old and weak women and children of the Eight Banners all rushed to Zunhua, and while the Eight Banners soldiers had greatly reduced their fighting spirit, they could also quickly escape without worries. It's just that Yonghui is still worried that if the army directly controlled by the Qing court is not greatly damaged, even if he can rush to Shengjing in time, the Fu Han army will not go to the northwest, but continue to target the main spearhead outside the northeast pass. At that time, Yonghui will still have to sit on wax!

This is an army of more than 100,000 people, and among them, there are 40,000 new troops from the Eight Banners, Chen Han is lame, so he will think that their threat is not great, so he will turn the spearhead to attack the northwest. Yonghui asked Ah Gui to do his best to fight this battle, of course he had to win if he won the battle, and if he couldn't win, he would take away the elite, so that the others would be the result of the glorious victory of the Han army.

The meaning of all this is hidden in an ambiguous secret decree, which was conveyed to Ah Gui in person with the rich monk left by Yonghui.

Ah Gui's psychological face is very cold and cold, just like Fu Heng, who persuaded Yonghui to leave the palace helplessly. But Gui's brain told him that this was really a solution to the 'problem'.

It is to take tens of thousands of Qing troops, more than half of which are still the lives of flag soldiers and Mongolian horse teams, to buy time outside the Northeast Pass, to give Chen Ming a reason and steps to turn around and go west. Maybe Yonghui will send someone to cry and ask Chen Yi for peace!

And the saddest thing is that the person who gave this will was still tens of thousands of Eight Banner soldiers of the Agui Army who were loyal to the emperor who served to the death!

In the silence of the night, the wind quietly blew the camp flag.

Many of the military tents in the Fuhan military camp are still lit up, and from a distance, you can see an overwhelming field of fireflies.

Including the division commanders of various departments, everyone was writing letters from home before the war. Don't think that you won't die if you become a big official. In recent years, the rank of the officers killed in the Han Army has been increasing day by day, and there is no precedent for the division commander to be killed in battle, but there are many examples of the brigade commander being killed, wounded and disabled.

You don't care if these troops are the main force or the local garrison.

Jiang Wei was holding a pencil and writing a letter to his family, he still can't write calligraphy, and after the pencil was produced, he quickly fell in love with this new writing instrument. Compared with the large calligraphy, the long family letter can not be written with a pencil without two or three sheets of letter, and the calligraphy with a thick pinch is used.

His current position is no longer the original small battalion officer, he is the deputy division commander of the First Division of the Jiangsu Army, and the commander of the First Brigade. Although the military rank is only equivalent to its own regiment compared with the main force, this is already an unimaginable future for a civilian child from a peasant background.

Jiang Wei has long stopped taking the number of military achievements in his eyes, when the number of a thing breaks through people's psychological red line, it will become a single number, and his family has already moved out of the 013 military village and moved into Lushan City.

Jiang Wei is now working hard for a general star, compared to the military merit field or something, he wants his son to enter the gate of Chengjun Public School!

"............, tomorrow our department will launch a tentative attack on the Qing army side by side with the pro-guard brigade as the vanguard, and this is the prelude to the decisive battle between Beijing and Tianjin, which is of great significance. Therefore, I dare not fight hard, fight to the death, the soldiers are in danger, and the future is unpredictable. However, there is no other way to succeed in becoming a benevolent, and it is also a pleasure for our generation of soldiers to be able to shed blood on the battlefield when the Manchu and Han Dynasty are dying.

Beijing is in sight, victory is in hand, the great rivers and mountains, the Han family is in the world, and the coming day will inevitably recover.

The Jiang family is a small person of the Ping family, and on the occasion of this stormy gathering, I followed His Royal Highness to fight in the army, and my family is as rich as it is today. Don't dare to forget the source because of wealth and slackness His Highness's plans. In the first battle tomorrow, no matter whether you do good or bad, you must be worthy of your conscience ......"

Jiang Wei didn't think about winning a big jackpot tomorrow, and then he would be promoted to a new peak in his life. His biggest hope is just not to ruin Chen Ming's plan because of himself.

As Chen Han's absolute descendant, Jiang Wei knows very well what the meaning of tomorrow's war is. All the thoughts of being promoted and making a fortune were removed from his mind, and he clenched his fists in order to fight with all his might tomorrow. Live up to Chen Han's great cause!

It was Chen Han who made him go from a grass farmer to today's high position, although compared to Tang Wencan's good luck, Jiang Wei seems to be a little worse. However, Jiang Wei's unit was the First Division of the Jiangsu Army, which was an old garrison unit that was established very early in the Fu Han Army, and half of the division's strength was flintlock pikemen, which was faintly stronger than the Shandong garrison.

With more than 2,000 acres of military merit fields and shares in several companies, the Jiang family would have died in battle without him, and he would not have been defeated again. These were all given to him by Chen Han, and his life was also Chen Han's.

Will the sharpness of the generals after winning the glory and wealth be worn out, that will definitely be, but Jiang Wei is not included in it! (To be continued.) )
