Chapter 427: Lord Qianlong's minions

The scale of the battle of Li Persimmon Yuan was not large, and it was not very conspicuous in the thick history of the war of the Fu Han army. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info But as far as the current battle of Chenzhou is concerned, the battle of Li Persimmon Yuan is a symbol. It marked the beginning of the movement warfare of the Qing cavalry!

Between Chenzhou and Zhoujiakou, between Zhoujiakou and Yuncheng. On the second day after Zhoujiakou was conquered by the Fu Han army, the cavalry of the Qing army was completely active. They not only attacked and killed the small-scale patrol troops of the Fu Han army and the transport troops, but also faintly wanted to divide the connection between the front and back of the Fu Han army.

Chenzhou had already been conquered by Gao Yuanhou, but a battle of Li Persimmon Garden, which suffered huge casualties, dimmed Gao Yuanhou's achievements by three points.

Chen Ming's next target was Shangshui, or the area south of the Ying River, all the way to Xinyang, this large area was Chen Ming's target. As for the layout in eastern Henan in the future, now that he has Zhoujiakou and Chenzhou City, he can relatively prevent the Qing army in the north from attacking the area south of the Yinghe River.

Of course, with the city as the center and around the countryside, there are many cavalry in the Qing army, and there will be some fighting in the future.

It is even said that if you want to completely protect Chenzhou, it is indispensable to turn several counties into places like Xuzhou, Yuncheng, and Xiping.

The earth is separated by fortresses, and then the fortresses are connected in series to form a solid chain.

Chenzhou Mansion Chengdong Iron Gourd Hutong.

Chen Youhe was smoking a cigarette stick, a long cigarette stick inlaid with silver and jade mouth, and a silk bag was decorated under the smoke pot that was bright and extinguished. Chen Youhe exhaled a puff of smoke, and white smoke enveloped his entire wrinkled old face. Compared with three years ago, Chen Yihe's big boss is much older.

Below Chen Youhe, his third brother Chen Qinghe, his eldest son Chen Yiyuan, who was not a few years younger than his third uncle, stared at his eldest brother and father without blinking. Whether they can be officials or not, whether they can be 'good' officials, is all up to the old man's words.

In Chenzhou, which was captured by the Fu Han army, part of the chess pieces buried in the dark camp were put on the bright side. Chen Qinghe and Chen Yiyuan realized that several of the new friends they had exchanged in their family in the past two years were from the Fu Han Army.

If there is only one of them, it will be a coincidence. But there are four of them at once, Chen Qinghe and Chen Yiyuan are the heads of the Chen family who also know the pig brain - their eldest brother and father. There has long been a secret connection with the Fu Han army.

The Fu Han army had just taken Chenzhou, but no one believed that the Qing army could take Chenzhou back from the Fu Han army. As for the determination of the Fu Han army to defend Chenzhou, do you look at the chess pieces that popped up one after another in the secret camp of the Fu Han army? This is the best performance of their desire to take root in Chenzhou. Otherwise, who will put the precious dark chess pieces on the table next year?

The Chen family has suffered a lot under the Manchu Qing in the past few years, and the family's treasury and granary have to be squeezed out by the Manchus.

When the Fu Han army entered Chenzhou City, Chen Yiyuan shouted that he would no longer have to be slaughtered, and that he would revive his family business. But now that there is another brighter and more glorious road at their feet, Chen Yiyuan can leave the words 'reviving the family business' behind.

How can you be an official in business? Not to mention that Chen Han's officialdom does not prohibit the relatives of officials from doing business.

For this one, Chen Ming felt that it was - taking off his pants and farting was purely a move towards this.

You stipulate that the relatives of officials really do not do business without going through the merchant's house? Look at Zhu Ming, then look at the Manchu Qing, and finally look at the Red Dynasty after the reform, why bother to cover it.

This regulation is just a small benefit for the Chen family, and what really excites Chen Qinghe and Chen Yiyuan is an official word.

In China's official-based society, the word 'official' represents too much. In the past few years, hasn't Chen Huizu just relied on the word 'official' to scrape down the land of Chenzhou by three or five feet.

"Alas. Since you have made up your mind, the old man will give up an old face to ask you for a time. But old man, let me make it clear to you two first, the judiciary of the new dynasty is strict, and since you have embarked on an official career, you must clean yourself and behave yourself. In case of a crime, Hugh will beg the old man again. My old face doesn't have that much face to give you sins. ”

Just when the soldiers and horses of the two sides were fighting fiercely outside the city of Chenzhou, and the cavalry of the Qing army was crisscrossing the fields, the rule of the Fu Han army in the city of Chenzhou was unexpectedly stabilized. Originally, it was just a small seedling, but with the refuge of many Chenzhou clans and big families such as the Chen family, it grew up as quickly as if it was on the. Climbing branches are intertwined, rooted in every corner of Chenzhou City.

At the same time as the Chen family and other wealthy families joined the Han army, a group of Chenzhou officials and eunuchs who were loyal to the Manchu Qing Dynasty were mercilessly uprooted.

They also deserve the bad luck of these people and settle in Chenzhou, a place of fierce battles. If it was in the non-war zone in the southern country, there were many small and lax ones, so Chen Han raised his noble hand and let them go. But not now, now we must cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, and we must be clear about all 'aliens'.

Chen Yiyuan had a sneer on his face, unlike the third uncle Chen Qinghe who was swallowing and foaming beside him, Chen Yiyuan had been looking forward to this day for a long time. When the Chen family was forced to give money and grain, did all the money and grain really go into the hands of the state? It's nice to have a third.

Chen Huizu took a piece, and these eunuchs, the servants who followed Chen Huizu's ass to show off their might, also made a lot of money. What made Chen Yiyuan even more angry was that many people had unmistakably humiliated him and the Chen family. Just because the Chen family has only one person, and there is no real non-commissioned officer. Ever since he heard the news that Chen Han wanted them to 'vote', Chen Yiyuan has been looking forward to this day.

"Third uncle, it's not my nephew who said you. Just one prison beheading, are you so scared that your face is white? ”

"In this world, the number of people who are going to die every day is hundreds or thousands of times more than the number of people we have to behead. Now it's a troubled time, and the world is not peaceful. How can you be afraid of cutting off people's heads? Isn't this cutting off our heads? For the first time, Chen Yiyuan felt that it was a wrong decision to enter the officialdom with Chen Qinghe, how could he become a big official if he was so timid?

Chen Yiyuan was very excited about the errand he had to take, because of the few family forces he supervised, there were two people who wanted to cut off their heads, and they had ridiculed and ridiculed him several times in the past. In a word, Chen Yiyuan has an enmity with those two people!

What a pleasure it is to now slay down your own enemies.

"Someone, prepare a food box for the official." Chen Yiyuan's mind was full of revenge. Before this beheading, he had to go and see the two goods himself. Thinking of immediately carrying the food box to meet the two enemies, the latter was stunned and even cried and pleaded. "Hahaha, cheerful, enjoyable." Chen Yiyuan looked up to the sky and laughed.

The time has come to the first day of October. At noon, the Lushan flying pigeon came with good news.

On this day, the crown princess gave birth to a cute little princess for Chen Ming. Mother and daughter are safe!

Chen Ming was overjoyed, for several days he was sending prisoners and accumulating arms and supplies, and on the other hand, he was full of worries about his wife and children who were far away in Lushan. Now that the good news has arrived, it can be regarded as a peace of mind. "Hello daughter, good daughter."

Although this newborn baby is not a little prince, it will surely be loved by thousands of people. Because it was her appearance that women became pregnant in her father's backyard one after another, and she was also the eldest princess of Chen Han. No matter from the auspicious omen or the reality, no matter from which point of view, she will not fall any worse than a second son.

Chen Ming was so happy that when the army attacked the next day, he was all happy.

The two brigades of the 1st Garrison Division stayed in Chenzhou and Zhoujiakou, and Chen Ming took the rest of the men and horses to kill Shangshui County on the second day of October.

The latter's road is really enough, and the Fu Han army fills potholes all the way.

The Qing army did have a lot of horse teams, and it was really a headache to attack. On the line from Yuncheng to Zhoujiakou and from Zhoujiakou to Chenzhou City, the Fu Han army did not have a military station, and there was no strong camp, so it was indeed not easy for the transport team to safely transport materials under the threat of the Qing army's horse team in the short term.

Small-scale convoys were completely extinct, and regular escorts had to be added to the convoys.

However, no matter how awesome the cavalry and horse teams of the Qing army were, it was impossible for them to attack Zhoujiakou and Chenzhou City, especially after several bridges on the Yinghe River were occupied or blown up by the Fu Han army, and it became inconvenient for the Qing army to shuttle back and forth.

In the seven or eight days after the capture of Chenzhou, Chen Ming first sent a large number of prisoners of war back to Yuncheng, and the Qing army finally figured out what a hot air balloon was. In the Zhoujiakou Fuhan military camp, hot air balloons often rise. As long as it's not too windy.

It was raised dozens of meters at once, and the balloon balloon was in full view within a radius of more than ten miles from Zhoujiakou.

……

Shangshui County Ya, the breath is tense. After capturing Zhoujiakou and Chenzhou, the Fuhan army finally came over.

The main general is favorable, and the deputy general is Tiebao, and neither of them is an incompetent person. In the early years, he ate a lot of fools in the northwest, and not long ago in the battle of Tangzhuang, Wang Tenglong wanted to thank Tiebao for saving his life.

Below two people, there are as many as 10,000 Qing troops in the entire Shangshui, and there are remnants of Wang Tenglong around. Five or six thousand Ganshan cavalry were crippled by the cavalry brigade of the Fu Han Army, but there were still more than 3,000 cavalry. It's just that morale is very low.

"Come on." Eun Hui clenched his fists tightly.

"Chen relied on the hot air balloon to deceive people, deceitfully captured Zhoujiakou, and then took advantage of the unstable heart of our army to seize Chenzhou. But in my business, it's not so easy. ”

Favor came to Chenzhou later than Chen Huizu, and it was when the Qing army began to operate the Chenzhou defense line that the talent sat in Shangshui. Shangshui, a very inconspicuous county town in the past, has been sprinkled with his hard work for two years. In Enhui's view, the whole business water is impregnable.

The ditches, trenches, fortresses, and breastworks outside the city are not to be mentioned, but only that in the city wall of Shangshui County, there are five large and small artillery positions, and a full thirty cannons are arranged, all of which are Western-style cannons made in Jingshan!

If you count the cannons arranged on the city wall, as well as the forts outside the city, the entire Shangshui artillery is close to the three-digit mark.

In addition, Shangshui City was also transformed into a military fortress by him, and the defense of the entire Shangshui County was by no means just a city wall. The important buildings in the city, such as the county yamen, the county school, the warehouse, the barracks of the training army and the green camp, as well as the houses of the Ye, Deng and Gao families in the county seat, have been converted into small independent fortresses, learning from the practice of the Fu Han army in defensive warfare in those years, with the pillbox as the core in the position - water, food and ammunition are stored inside, even if the position is lost, the soldiers inside can hold on alone for a long time.

Barricades have also been built on the main streets in the city, and the common people have been driven out of the county seat more than a year ago, which has also made the nails planted by the secret camp in Shangshui County almost abandoned.

Eun Hui is very confident in the defense of Shang Shui. Even though he didn't expect that the Fu Han Army would be able to build an extra-large Kong Ming lantern, which would make the many artillery positions he had worked so hard to build in the county town useless, he was still full of confidence in the defense of Shangshui County.

Changing to Enhui himself to attack Shang Shui, he really couldn't think of any way Chen Ming could take Shang Shui.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the great enemy has come, and Chen Zhi waved his troops and business. The time has come for me to repay the Emperor's kindness. Enhui clasped his fists and arched in the direction of Beijing, and said with a solemn face: "In this battle, our army is backed by a strong city, with an iron wall inside and an iron horse outside, which is a God-given opportunity to make contributions to our generation." In this battle, it is necessary to defeat Chen Rebellion's troops in order to boost the morale of our Qing army. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't let down the high hopes of the saints."

"After you go back, immediately prepare your troops for battle, and be ready for battle!"

Under the deputy commander Tiebao, a cadre of soldiers got up and gathered in the center of the hall, knelt on one knee, and shouted: "Make meritorious contributions and serve the emperor." Just when Chen Han was anxious about the floods in the south and the relief work, the Manchu Qing also made a very powerful killer move, and the important ministers of the Han people in the court, as well as a large number of guerrilla and staff officers in the army, all raised the flag and joined the Han army flag. Among them, a group of backbone ministers led by Liu Tongxun were further carried into the Manchurian army banner by Qianlong, and they were still on the three banners. In the future, Liu Tongxun will not be Liu Tongxun, but Liu Jia Tongxun. has really become Qianlong's minion!

This great gift has benefited many officers in front of them.

For all the Wenwu soldiers who entered the flag, Qianlong also rewarded them with a large area of land in the northeast. Many people's lands are now stuffed with North Korean sticks. From spring to now, today's grain has been put into warehouses in some areas with high work efficiency.

……

Port of Busan, South Korea.

Gone is the once prosperous port of North Korea, and this is a place where the two sides have come and gone many times.

When winter came, the Qing army retreated into Jinju City, and the port of Busan was guarded by a Korean surrender army, and then they were routed by a Korean army under the banner of the Brave Battalion.

Kim Ki-dae is the leader of this North Korean army. This former high-ranking disciple of Seoul is now full of wind and frost.

There was an unconcealable sadness between his brows. It has been three months since the city of Jinju was broken and Li Qi disappeared on the way to break through, and there is still no one alive or dead. It can be said that only the possibility of survival is preserved. In fact, Li Qi is lifeless. That king will be in hiding for three months now.

During these three months, not only were the Koreans frantically searching for their king, but the Qing army was also seriously identifying prisoners. As a result, Li Qi was not found.

Kim Ki continued to resist the Qing army under the banner of the Zhuangyong Battalion, and behind him was the queen of Li Su, the Kim family, who had been moving to Jeju Island for a long time. The throne of the King of Joseon is still vacant, but Kim Ki-dae knows that those guys from the close branches of the royal family have quietly sent people to China. They themselves did not miss any opportunity to build relations with the Han army and brush up their prestige in front of the Chinese people.

For example, Enyanjun Li Zhen, such as the former Enxinjun, the current Trillium Jun Li Zhen, such as Enquanjun Li Zhen.

They are all the sons of Zhuang Xian's son and Li Qi's brothers.

Kim Ki-dae's banner fluttered high over the port of Busan, but unlike the conspicuous flag, the North Korean army was embarrassed and unbearable. There were two or three thousand North Korean troops under Kim Ki-dae, and at least half of these soldiers were real North Korean officers and soldiers. Even many people are the forbidden army in Seoul, such as Kim Ki-dae's old department in the Dragon and Tiger Battalion.

But now this army looks quite embarrassed, their uniforms are broken, and most of the officers and soldiers look good. The meal was soon to arrive, and large iron pots were set up outside the tents, each of which was churning. At first glance, the color is red and green, and it looks pretty good. When I looked closer, I could see that it was a pot of gnocchi soup, and it was stick noodles.

The red ones are peppers, and the green ones are the least valuable kelp on the beach. If you stir it with a spoon, you can also find small fish, shrimp, conch, minced crabs, etc. They were all picked up from the seashore.

This is the food that most of Kim Ki's subordinates are eating now, and this is not enough to let the soldiers open their bellies and eat to their full.

North Korean society is highly hierarchical, and there is no equality of officers and soldiers in the army. The low-level soldiers only had one bowl of gnocchi soup to eat each, while the low-level officers could eat openly. The grass-roots officers and the low-level officers above can each have a big rice ball. And the low-level officers and the middle-level officers above the middle-level officers, the food is even more nourishing. Not only is there enough to eat—all white rice, but there are also soups and vegetables, even if the soup is just the simplest kimchi soup, miso soup or something, even if the dish is just canned food and pickles given to them by the Fu Han army.

The supply of the Fu Han army itself is still very secure, but Jeju Island has already contained more than 100,000 North Korean officials and civilians, plus a group of resistance troops such as Kim Ki-dae, and there are 30,000 or 40,000 people in bits and pieces, and the overall logistics supply is already very difficult.

Of course, the middle-level officers and the high-level officers and Kim Ki-dae himself will have better food.

No matter how short the Fu Han army is, it will not lack a handful of them. There are more 'nobles' on Jeju Island. In the big tent of Jinji, even if there are only canned food, bacon, and jerky, it is still a big wine banquet, sweet and sour, fragrant and spicy, a group of people gather at one table, and there are beautifully dressed beauties who sing and dance to help the fun, and they all eat with their mouths full of oil.

It doesn't matter how many times these people have soaked their pillows with tears when they fall asleep at night.

In a year's time, the glory of the old days was completely gone from them. (To be continued.) )
