In mid-July, Linru Town.

Outside the small town, the banners of the Qing soldiers of the Shaanxi Green Battalion are all over the sky. Wang Tenglong, the governor of Shaanxi Province in the Qing Dynasty, led his subordinates to raise the standard of the four battalions in front and back, plus Xue Zong, the deputy general of the Tongguan Association, the deputy general of the Xi'an City Garrison, and the battalions of Shangzhou and Tongzhou, a total of 8,000 people, and the momentum has been killed in Linru Town.

This speed of travel is really 'slipping'. You must know that Chen Ming was going to fight the enemy in the east first, but he never expected that this Wang Tenglong would not even wait for Hebei Town, which should have been in the same place as the army, and directly pulled up 8,000 people to kill Linru Town.

Chen Ming, who was gathering troops on the front line of Xiangcheng, smiled directly. It couldn't be better. Shaanxi Green Camp was not only left alone and out of touch, but also sent directly to Chen Ming's most edge. If they don't eat it, they are simply sorry for Wang Tenglong's 'attentiveness and thoughtfulness'. Although the Ganshan Green Battalion has been synonymous with the elite soldiers of the Green Battalion for more than 200 years in the Qing Dynasty, Chen Ming is not afraid of them at all.

The main force of the Chen family's army, the 4,000 Chen family troops assembled by Chen Ming, directly moved northwest from Xiangxian County, and the men and horses and equipment rushed to Linru Town at the fastest speed along the Beiru River.

Chen Ming's current strength in his hands has been completely directly linked, and he has expanded the musket battalion, artillery battalion, cavalry battalion, and some of the soldiers and horses of the right battalion of the personal guard, with the military police, reconnaissance team, and medical team, which are separated from the battalion head, as well as an escort team and tank team, to expand into a teaching brigade of more than 3,000 people.

Veterans lead new recruits, the musket unit has a second formed battalion head, Chen Ming emptied the family of the Firearms Bureau, and completely lifted the muskets they had built for a while, and finally got enough weapons needed for the expansion of the troops; The head of the artillery battalion did not increase, but there were twelve more guns in the artillery battalion, of which eight were two-pound guns and four three-pound guns; The cavalry battalion broke through the 500 mark for the first time, and in order to raise horses, Chen Ming had a lot of calves with logistics;

The two fully manned armies, with the soldiers and horses of the right battalion of the guards and veterans of the escort team who were drawn out as the backbone, filled with a large number of recruits, and even prisoners of war anyway, anyway, pulled up two fully equipped armour battalions;

Together with the expansion of the tank battalion to 300 men, as well as the gendarmerie, reconnaissance team, and medical team, the total strength of this teaching brigade has reached 3,1200 men.

In this way, coupled with Chen Ming's right battalion, which was expanded to 800 people, as well as the logistics force of the team, the force that Chen Ming firmly grasped in his hands occupied half of the entire Chen family army.

At this time, the Chen Jiajun, in addition to the mobile force in Chen Ming's hands, the seven battalions of Chen Erbao, Chen Wenzan, Chen Jianbai, Chen Hongtao, Huang An, Gao Jinghui, and Lu Long were also full of military strength, and their equipment was also excellent, except for firearms, they were not much weaker than the troops directly under Chen Ming. However, the equipment of several independent teams and the battalion leaders organized in logistics was much worse, and the musketeers among them even held bird guns captured by the Chen family's army. Because of the problem of gun production, those shotguns that had been sealed up for reserve had to be opened immediately, and the excellent products were selected from them to re-enlist in the army.

Of course, these troops are the second- and third-rate goods in the Chen family's army, and it is okay to deter the place, unless it is absolutely necessary, the Chen family's army will not take them into battle.

Chen Ming led the army all the way to Linru Town, and along the way, he could already feel the uneasiness of the local people. The soldiers are like grates, there is no way, the military regulations and military discipline of the Manchu officers and soldiers are lax that everyone knows. What's more, in some places under the rule of Chen Jiajun, there are already people who can't stand the braid tax and cut their braids, which is for the Qing soldiers to see, that is, to cut off their heads.

Chen Ming, who felt this uneasiness, also strengthened his belief - in order to win the hearts of the people as soon as possible, it is necessary to keep the enemy out of the country. Then God will let the Manchu officers be as arrogant as Wang Tenglong, in that case, Chen Ming's burden will be reduced a lot.

……

Linru Town. Judging from the name, we know the relationship between this town and Ruzhou and the North Ru River. Located at the junction of Ruyang, Yiyang and Yiyang counties, it can be said to be the "northwest gate" of Ruzhou.

This is the direct passage between Ruzhou and Heluo, Wang Tenglong led the men and horses to stop in Luoyang for a while, and then killed Linru Town non-stop, for nothing else, or to compete for credit.

The official position has been promoted to the rank of admiral, Wang Tenglong, who is a Han and does not know about civil affairs, it is impossible for him to enter the prime minister and jump into the central government or the local feudal officials in one step, but if he has made merits, he can use it to seal his wife and son. Wang Tenglong is fighting for his son and grandson.

So he didn't wait for some of the soldiers and horses in Hebei Town that Henan gave him, Wang Tenglong believed that the 8,000 Shaanxi soldiers under his command were enough to smash Lushan and capture the Chen family father and son alive.

Just as the common people in other places could never have imagined that such a chaotic army under the banner of anti-Qing would suddenly emerge in Ruzhou, when Wang Tenglong first heard the news of Chen Jiajun, he only thought it was nonsense based on false rumors. After knowing that he had received the same news from the exact communication, he knew that Henan, the hinterland of Zhongzhou, had really happened a great miracle.

But Wang Tenglong laughed at He Nanbing in an instant, thinking that Henan Green Camp had been in the peaceful land of the Central Plains for a long time, and he had long forgotten how to fight. That's why they lost consecutive battles and lost their troops. The shame is to the extreme!

In the end, when Fode's army was defeated in Yuncheng, the news that the two armies of Guide Town and Yunyang Town were also beaten by Chen Jiajun and abandoned their armor made Wang Tenglong look at Chen Jiajun a little. But in his heart, he still deeply despised Chen Jiajun, despised the Henan Green Camp, and the newly added Hubei Green Camp.

Because regardless of whether it is Henan or Hubei, these two places are stronger than Shaanxi. You must know that the so-called Shaanxi Admiral has a more definite title: Guyuan Admiral. Guyuan is in the eastern part of Gansu, and the jurisdiction of the Shaanxi Governor is not only Shaanxi but also the eastern part of Gansu, and the Gansu Governor, to be precise, is limited to the more barren western part of Gansu.

The governor of Guyuan only moved back to Xi'an in the 29th year of Qianlong, and the governor at that time was Li Shisheng, who was appointed governor of Yunnan in August last year, and is now fighting with the Burmese army. Wang Tenglong, who took over the throne, was the previous governor of Ganzhou, Wang Tenglong, who had eaten enough sand in the barren land of Gansu, and Wang Tenglong, who was born in the Gansu Green Battalion, of course looked down on the Henan Green Battalion, which had lost one battle after another against a group of bandits.

This time the four provinces encircled and suppressed the Chen Jiajun, Wang Tenglong didn't care what the commanders and commanders of Henan, Anhui, and Hubei thought of it, in his eyes, this was completely a credit to him. To be clear, Chen Jiajun is a thief who cut his braids and raised the banner of 'anti-Qing and Han Dynasty', this is an anti-thief who stabbed a knife in the heart of the imperial court, if the first war wiped them out, Wang Tenglong believes that he will definitely be able to earn a good future for his children and grandchildren. His Majesty will definitely keep himself in mind!
