Annam, Lang Son. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info The sound of gunfire was intense.

Lord Zheng's crusading army and the remnants of the Qing army in the mountains were in a fierce firefight.

Since last year, Zheng Zhu, who sold the Ha Long Bay and Hung Kai coal mines for a good price, has become more and more tough on the remnants of the Qing Dynasty in Lang Son. The new army of Beizheng was also officially formed, and there were quite a few people, musketeers and artillery, a full 10,000 people. In order to buy more muskets from China, Zheng Sen was eager to dispose of all the belongings of the palace, and finally exchanged for muskets and artillery at the cost of ceding a piece of land north of Hongji City, and his number one general, Huang Wufulai, served as the general.

This Beiyue Yejun Gong, whose status in Beizheng is more noble than that of Tong Guan in the Northern Song Dynasty, was one of the most important generals in Beiyue in the era of Zheng Sen's Laozi Zheng Ying. With the death of the famous general Fan Tingzhong, Huang Wufu, who was born as a eunuch, has become the most relied on general of Lord Zheng. His adopted son Huang Tingbao was awarded the title of Hui County Duke, Huang Tingti was awarded the title of County Duke, and there were also Shuo County Gong Huang Fengji, Lian County Gong Ding Xiyang, Peng County Gong Ruan Youcheng and others, who manipulated the military and politics and had power for a while.

As a traditional general, Huang Wufu is naturally not very good at the use of private lines and artillery in the modern army, but isn't there an instructor sent by the Fu Han Army? With the completion of the training of the new army, these people became Huang Wufu's staff officers, and Beizheng's encirclement and suppression of the 'Confucian Three Heroes' in Langshan also entered the countdown.

Zheng Sen didn't really want to really fight against the remnants of the Qing army led by Chen Jie, Wu Xiongguang, and Yang Zhengjie, but now the Guangnan Kingdom in the south is in a slump, and the Xishan army in the south is being defeated and retreating, in Zheng Sen's opinion, this is a great opportunity for him to unify the 'world'. He definitely did not want to put the elite new army in the position of Lang Son.

Just like the people of Mingxiang at the beginning, those people in the mountains can also migrate to the fertile soil of the plains to be 'Qingxiang people'. Then the army was transferred to the front line, and the three heroes could all enjoy wealth and prosperity, and even become officials in Beizheng. But Chen Jie and the others sternly refused this, so Zheng Sen could only cheer up and attack them.

The remnants of the 'Sanjie' army who fled from Guangxi to Langshan in embarrassment have recovered a lot of vitality under the recuperation in the past two years, not to mention the land and water trade between Beizheng and the Fuhan army, and the remnants of the Sanjie army have benefited a lot. The silver in their hands can be sold for daily necessities such as grain, cloth, salt, and medicinal herbs, and can also be sold for all kinds of arms through inexplicable channels. The remnants of the Sanjie army, whose strength had recovered, could not and did not dare to turn around and go north, their goal could only be to go south, at least to seize an area from Zheng Zhu that could be used for their survival and development.

Zheng Sen also didn't want to be stabbed in the back by someone else when his army was attacking the city and plundering the land in the south. So the war between the two sides began again.

A team of the Beizheng New Army used the vegetation on the mountains as a cover and quietly approached the convex position of the Remnant Qing Army, but was hit by the artillery of the Remnant Qing Army, and a team of more than 100 people was forced to retreat without even having a chance to fire a shot, and the chief and deputy officers leading the team were killed and wounded.

Then the battalion officer personally led the army to launch a second charge, and under the cover of superior artillery fire behind him, the Zheng army of the second attack successfully broke through to the forward position. The remnants of the Qing army mobilized forces to counterattack, and the small position became a complete slaughterhouse.

In the mountains, the positions were too small for more troops to be put in on either side. If the army is too dense, it is easy to be killed and injured by the enemy's artillery fire. So the two sides are like adding fuel to the war, you and I are constantly putting troops into it.

But in general, the casualties of the Zheng army in the offensive posture were much greater than those of the remnants of the Qing army.

The front-line commander of the Beizheng New Army didn't want to lose one or two battalions killed or wounded because of a small forward formation, in that case he would be the number one idiot in the world. Looking back, Huang Wufu had to skin him. Decisively put in two battalions again, divided into two parts to outflank the forward position.

It took two hours for the military strength of the entire three battalions to take the forward position of the Remnant Qing Army, which made Huang Wufu feel the tenacious fighting spirit of the Remnant Qing Army at once. This remnant army was not at all discouraged by Beijing's change of hands. Huang Wufu is not surprised by this, the latter has not settled in Langshan for a day or two, and Beizheng is incompetent and has more contact with the remnants of the Sanjie army, although this team still has braids, and the Qing Emperor is Zhengshuo, but their spiritual leader and backbone is not the emperor of the Qing Dynasty in Beijing, but Chen Jie, Wu Xiongguang, Yang Zhengjie three young people.

As long as the minds of these three people do not waver for a day, the remnants of the Manchu Qing army, which fought southwest of Guangxi, will not fall apart.

Huang Wufu looked coldly at the map of Langshan in front of him.

The development of the Xishan Army in the past two years has been extremely rapid, and the Guangnan Kingdom is embarrassed, it is simply a piece of oily fat in front of Zheng Sen, but Zheng Sen was restrained by the remnants of the Qing Army in Langshan, he can only watch the fat and can't eat, is there anything more cruel in the world?

With the Zheng army's attack on the main position of the remnant Qing army, thirty or forty artillery pieces on both sides launched an artillery bombardment battle that could be called a storm for Annan. The number of artillery of the remnant Qing army was at a disadvantage, but due to the favorable terrain and the quality of the gunners who were higher than the gunners of the Zheng army, although the number of artillery was only six or seven percent of that of the Zheng army, it was never weakened by the Zheng army's 'fierce' artillery bombardment. On the contrary, an artillery position of the Zheng army, which had an advantage in numbers, was caught by the artillery of the remnants of the Qing army, and half of the four artillery pieces were knocked out!

Smoke almost completely enveloped the nameless mountain. In a white-knuckle battle, every fight between the two sides ends in a white-knuckle battle.

The blood of the remnants of the Qing army and the blood of the Zheng army stained the land red.

From day to night, from night to dawn, the battle ended again and again, and began again and again. Large numbers of soldiers wriggled around the battlefield, sometimes seeing neat columns, and soon turning into scattered stragglers; From time to time, groups of soldiers in confusion could be seen retreating in confusion, the dead and wounded fell to the ground one by one, and the wounded soldiers lay helplessly on the ground wailing and whining.

Every once in a while, new columns and teams enter the battlefield, and they are not really new forces, but mostly regrouped after retreating from the battlefield.

The flow of people is like a tide, rising and falling, back and forth. The routed team was retreating, and new teams were replenished, with salvos, artillery fires, hand-to-hand battles, then they were routed or had to retreat with heavy losses, and then there was a fierce and fierce artillery battle.

Zheng Zhu, who has been fighting indecisively with Guangnan for more than a hundred years, still has an elite force, and the remnants of the Qing army that followed Sanjie to run half of China should not be underestimated. The will of the armies on both sides to fight is quite firm.

The roar of the cannon spread more than ten miles away, and the air trembled slightly. Huge echoes echo in the valley.

The Dai [Zhuang], Nong [Zhuang], Dai, Hmong [Miao] and so on, who were recruited by Zheng Jun to work as coolies, were all restlessly listening to the sound of artillery faintly coming from afar, and they knew that the outcome of this battle would determine the fate of their nation.

If the Zheng army wins, the forces of Beizheng will naturally rule Langshan again, and this ruling strength will probably become stronger because of this war, and their life as the ethnic minorities in Beizheng may not be easy.

But if the remnant Qing army wins, unless Beizheng is willing to let go of Guangnan and concentrate all his strength on fighting the remnant Qing army again, then the two sides can only compromise with each other, which is what these ethnic minorities living in Lang Son are happy to see. If the two sides fight but do not break, then they must both compromise, and the forces will contain each other, and the suppression of these young people will be much easier.

They are not the Chinese of Annam, nor are they from Mingxiang, whether they are in the north or in the south, they are all oppressed young people living in the mountains.

Huang Wufu was sitting in the big tent looking calm and silent, in fact, he was very unhappy in his heart. It's hard to believe that the war could be fought as much as it is now. Compared with his imagination, the tenacity of the remnant Qing army is too much. It must be clear that the remnant Qing army they dealt with was only a part of the entire remnant Qing army, just a partial division that blocked, and the main force of the remnant Qing army was in the attack pavilion.

Before, he had imagined the remnant Qing army to be strong enough. But now it turns out that the resilience and bravery of the remnants of the Qing army are completely beyond his imagination. Now he can only pray that this state of bravery will not last long. Although in the fierce battles it was often the Zheng army that was defeated in an offensive state.

On the other side of the battlefield, Chen Jie sat calmly on a big chair in the cave, looking at the map on the table, his expression was calm and calm. Although the two armies on the battlefield were engaged in a fierce contest, although the people around him understood that Chen Jie was only calm and calm on the surface, it still calmed down many people.

There were only more than 2,000 remnants of the Qing army on the battlefield, and Chen Jie still held almost the same number of reserve troops in his hands, which was almost one-third of the total strength of the remnant Qing army. They fled from Guangxi to Langshan, and in the past two years, some of them could not bear the barrenness and hardship here and left. Whether it was going to Hongji City or going back to the north; Some people are, water and soil are not adapted, there is a shortage of medicinal materials, and death is inevitable. Facing the new army in Beizheng, Chen Jie was a little apprehensive in his heart, but the battle on the battlefield fully proved the quality of the new army in Beizheng.

Compared with the Fu Han army, the new army of Beizheng is far behind.

They invested at least twice as many troops as the remnants of the Qing army, but the battle between the two sides was in a close position, although the remnants of the Qing army could not defeat the new army of Northern Zheng with the current strength, but do not forget the reserve he held in his hands.

Unexpectedly, Chen Jie was looking for an opportunity, an opportunity to hit the Beizheng Xinjun in one fell swoop!

In May of the 145th year of Chongzhen, hundreds of millions of people all over the world just talked impassionedly about the 128 heads of the Fu Han army entering Beijing, the tall Jingguan in the north of Jizhou City, and the 'submission' of the Mongols, the conquest of Chengde, and the complete cleansing of Shanxi and Zhili came to everyone's lips again.

From north to south, I don't know how many guests of the teahouse restaurant are talking every day, and the Mongolian people who are headed, Jingguan, and convinced, and the sweep of Zhili Shanxi, which really makes people's blood gush. And the stronger the Fu Han army behaved, the more buyers of land bonds, and even foreigners were involved.

Of course, they are not qualified to buy it directly. But they can lend money to a Chinese employee, who then comes forward to buy it, even though both sides have a contract. But this incident made Chen Ming feel that there was really no way to put an end to the 'comprador' thing.

In fact, it was Chen Ming's previous life, how could the comprador really disappear? It's just a new packaging.

But at this time, two new news, one south and one north, swept everyone's ears like a storm again. First of all, the 'Three Heroes', who had been silent for a long time in the south, defeated the crusading army of Bei Zheng very beautifully, not only occupying half of the undulating, jungle-covered mountains of northern Vietnam, but also stepping into the rich northern plains of Annam.

Another piece of news is that Zhang Jia III, one of the four great Hutu Ketu of Tantra, has entered Zhangjiakou! He will arrive in Beijing in a few days, and after a discussion with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he will set off for Nanjing.

There is news that His Royal Highness the King of Han is already preparing to build a tantric Buddhist temple in Nanjing.

The news from the south made the Han people in the world very proud, a remnant army that was driven out of the country, and the dignified Zheng Zhu of Annan was worried, lost the city and lost the land, China is very strong!

The arrival of Zhangjia III almost represented the submission of the Mongol tribes, at least most of the Mongol tribes in the Inner Mongolia region, which had a very strong representative significance.

Although the 'destiny of heaven' for the Fu Han Army is just icing on the cake, this flower is also a very, very delicate peony flower.

Many people know that on the 10th day of the first month of May, in the "Central Plains Daily", there was a small box on the second page, in which a message was written that the cavalry brigade of the Fuhan Army would be expanded into a cavalry division. Chen Kaishan, the former brigade commander, served as the first division commander!

This is not a small piece of news, but on the same day, the "Military Newspaper" devoted half a page to a grand discussion about the cavalry division and the source of horses, as well as the establishment of horse farms and the breeding of horse breeds. It clearly shows a truth, the war horses of the Fu Han army to expand the cavalry troops are from Mongolia and from Zhangjiakou.

With this news, the price of livestock in Nanjing fell by 10%, and the price of horses fell by more than 2%.

Everyone knows that over time, the price of large livestock such as mules, horses, cattle will get lower and lower, and this is the influence.

……

In a Hou family courtyard in Taiyuan City.

Hou Xingyu, who returned home with a tired face, drank all the tea brought by the girl, and then sat down on the chair.

Hou Xingyu was really tired, but his spirit was very uplifted, because he finally delivered the first batch of 200,000 taels of silver to the Shanxi branch of the Bank of China that had just been established in Taiyuan City.

Two hundred thousand taels of silver, a hundred chests, twenty-five carriages, what did he get back? Thirty silver rolls in the denomination of 'ten thousand yuan'.

"Daddy." Hou Tailai walked in, his face still beaded with sweat, and a layer of black hair stubble faintly appeared on his shaved head.

"Boss. Go get the brazier. ”

"Dad, Dad......" The second son, Hou Enlai, led the four younger brothers below to come over.

Hou Xingyu cheered up and took out thirty bonds. The fire ignited in the brazier, reflecting the relieved faces of the Hou family's father and son.

"Burn, burn. Everything in the past is burned, clean, really clean! ”

This is only the first batch of silver for the Hou family, and this year he will make another 300,000 taels of silver, and next year, he will completely clean up the 1 million taels of silver...... (To be continued.) )
