On the coast of the East China Sea, in the Bohai Sea, in the deep winter, the wind on the sea is raging, extremely cold and biting, blowing people's faces and making people's faces hurt, and the whistling gusts of wind are like whimpering ghosts, sometimes poignant, sometimes roaring.

On December 23 of the third year of Jiaqing, the angry waves of the Bohai Sea did not converge because of the coming of the New Year, it was still a howling wind, and the waves were surging, at this time, one after another warships were sailing on the sea, heading westward, the surging waves beat the hull, making the warships shake slightly, and the small ships continued to rise and fall, shaking so badly that the personnel could not stay on it at all.

This is a formation of warships, waving flags, as many as 100 pure large warships, nearly 1,000 medium-sized warships, countless small boats, submachine gunboats cruising around, and the soldiers on the patrol boats are even more vigilant, their eyes are blazing, bursting with fine light, scanning the surroundings.

The warship formation was divided into three parts, the left and right wings, the middle army, showing a concave pointed cone, constantly approaching the coastal waters of Zhili.

This warship formation is a navy of Thunder, almost a quarter of the strength, however, there are a lot of troops above, nearly 100,000 people, in terms of scale alone, almost half of the total strength of Thunder, these soldiers are not only marines, but also marines, all selected from the Kongtong Army and the Qilin Army, as a new force to overthrow the east of the Qing court.

In the Chinese army, on the command ship, on the edge of the deck, there are soldiers one by one, one person every one meter, holding a steel gun, facing the cold winter wind, unwavering, let him be angry and strong, and stand still.

In the cabin, Zhuge Mou and Qi Zhiyuan were impressively listed, Cai Lian and Zhang Baozai were on the left and right, and there were other generals on both sides, at this time, everyone was waiting for Qi Zhiyuan's instructions.

"Staff Officer Zhuge can now release carrier pigeons, inform the marshal and Commander Huo that our navy is in place, and when it reaches the Bohai Sea, it can launch an attack at any time, carry out a landing, and plan their actions from the east."

"Okay, marshal, I'll go and make arrangements, notify the signal soldiers, and release the carrier pigeons." After finishing speaking, immediately, Zhuge Mou stood up and walked outside.

Seeing Zhuge Mou's departure, Qi Zhiyuan looked at Cai Lian and Zhang Baozai again, and ordered: "Brigade Commander Zhang, Brigade Commander Cai, as the left and right wings of the navy, you are not only responsible for the safety of the two wings of the warship formation, but also have a greater task, that is, to send the soldiers of the Marine Corps safely to the coastal beach, cover their smooth landing, and carry out artillery support. ”

"Yes, Commander, we will definitely complete the mission and ensure that the Marines enter the designated position and land safely." As soon as Qi Zhiyuan's words fell, Zhang Baozai and Cai Lian replied in unison.

Immediately afterwards, Qi Zhiyuan's eyes showed a faint color, looked up at the blue sky in the distance, and muttered: "I hope everything goes well, the marshal and Huo Xiong's guy successfully conquered Zhangjiakou, Jinghua Mansion, Shijiazhuang, Zhengding Mansion, Shunde Mansion, Zhaozhou, Guangping Mansion, Shenzhou and Hejian Mansion, when the time comes, it will be up to me to thunder the navy." ”

A day later, Dongchang Mansion in Shandong, the former Qing court prefect's yamen, in the hall, as the temporary headquarters of the army, is very clean, there are few tables and chairs, only a sand table for deduction, a few tables spliced together, and finally a map hanging in the middle hall, the distribution of each region is clearly visible.

At this time, there was no longer the buzz and noise of the past in the headquarters, and all personnel no longer came and went, and they all stood there quietly, led by Yang Lin, forming a fan-shaped encirclement, located in front of the map.

After a few days of getting along and many in-depth talks, Bailihe has been recognized by everyone, and Yang Lin's trust is on Yang Lin's side at this time, very close, and he is like a strategist.

Yang Lin waved his baton, pointed to several places on the map, and said in an orderly manner: "Chao Sheng, you led an army of 100,000 from the west of Dongchang Mansion, entered Zhili, and was responsible for taking Guangping Mansion, Deshun Mansion and Zhaozhou, and approaching Baoding Mansion,"

"Yes, marshal, promise to complete the mission!" Chao Sheng saluted and shouted loudly.

"Guo San, monkey, give you 50,000 horses, set off from Jeju, enter Zhili, be responsible for taking Shenzhou, join Chao Sheng in Baoding Mansion, capture Baoding Mansion together, and then, continue to march north and move closer to Beijing."

This order was not only given to Guo San and the monkey, but also to Chao Sheng, so the three of them shouted in unison: "Yes, marshal!" ”

Immediately afterwards, Yang Lin did not stop, his eyes were fixed on a certain place on the map, the baton was here, and he said in a deep voice: "Hejian Mansion, I will lead the remaining 100,000 troops to set out from Wuding Mansion in Shandong, take him from the east, and join forces with the Marines in Tianjin Mansion to attack the last gateway to Beijing." ”

"By then, presumably Huo Xiong's army has also taken Shijiazhuang, Zhengding Mansion, Zhangjiakou, and Jinghua Mansion, and Chen Bing is on the west side of Beijing."

As soon as the words fell, everyone was excited, as if they had taken Beijing, overthrew the rule of the Qing court, and captured Jiaqing and Qianlong alive.

At this moment, Bailihe, who had been listening, suddenly said: "Marshal, isn't it too hasty to act tomorrow?" Within Zhili, although there are not many Qing soldiers, there are only 100,000 people, but they are also the most elite troops of the Qing court, whether it is weapons and equipment, or the quality of soldiers, they are definitely the top, the elite of the elite. ”

"Moreover, Zhili is different from other provinces, in the northeast and northwest directions, close to Fengtian and Mongolia, these two places have a large number of troops from the Qing court, and they are all cavalry, Mongolia alone has 200,000 troops, once there is a crisis in Beijing, it only takes a day and night, and the cavalry of Fengtian and Mongolia's Eight Banners can reach it in an instant."

However, Bailihe said very nervously, worried, including Yang Lin, everyone did not worry, did not care, everyone also knew that there were indeed 200,000 cavalry in northern Mongolia, the Qing court was used to defend the Russian red hair, Bailihe still wanted to persuade something, at this time, Yang Lin said: "Mr. Baili, I know that you are out of good intentions, you want the army to wait for a while, raise more troops, and crush the Qing army with absolute superiority, I feel that it is a bit dangerous to take Zhili with 600,000 troops, and the risk is too great." ”

"Mr. Baili, for our army to achieve today's achievements and occupy a large number of areas, perhaps, you think there are a lot of luck factors, if it were not for a large number of Qing troops being transferred to the southwest to suppress the White Lotus Sect, the Kongtong Army and the Qilin Army would have paid a greater price, more casualties, and it would be impossible to attack this place."

"But, Mr. Baili, I want to tell you, you might as well tell the truth, even if there is no containment of the White Lotus Sect, the Qing army is still not the opponent of our army, and the army can still be as strong as a bamboo, and it will take more time to fight all the way here."

The words are sonorous and powerful, and they speak the hearts of the generals, which is their self-confidence, which comes from the excellent quality of the soldiers and the advanced and powerful weapons.

However, seeing that there was not the slightest wave in Bailihe's eyes, Yang Lin knew that the other party didn't believe what he said very much, so he didn't talk nonsense, and said loudly: "Mr. Baili, I don't want to explain anything, for so long, you must have not seen the power of our weapons, as long as you go out for a walk, go to the army to see, and see the power of various weapons, if you continue to object, I will accept your suggestion and postpone the action for a while." ”

Yang Lin has this kind of self-confidence, those new weapons in his hands, even if the Qing army is armed with bird guns, his side can crush the Qing army with the momentum of destroying the ancient and decaying, not to mention, the Qing army has bows and crossbows and long knives in their hands, and only the firearms battalion is equipped with bird guns?

No matter how elite the Qing army is, no matter how brave and good the cavalry is, and how galloping they are, under the muzzle, they are just targets, and they are a large area in one sweep!

Hearing this, of course Bailihe couldn't hear Yang Lin's heart, at that moment, Bailihe was obviously stunned, a little suspicious, and said secretly: "Aren't they those fire guns and Lianzhu guns?" Even if there are a lot of cannons, but there are more of them in the Qing court, and the equipment is definitely the most sophisticated, if you really want to fight, at most it will be evenly matched, not to mention, the Qing court still has the advantage of geographical advantages? ”

Although he thought so in his heart, when he saw that Yang Lin was very confident and confident, he couldn't help but be shaken a little, nodded lightly, and responded: "Okay, just according to what the marshal said, go to the barracks for a hundred miles and take a look at those weapons." ”

"Someone, take Mr. Baili to the barracks, let the officers and soldiers of each battalion demonstrate the weapons, and let Mr. Baili see our new weapons."

Under the leadership of several guards, Bailihe left, walked out of the prefect's yamen, and went straight out of the city.

Bailihe left, however, Yang Lin's order did not stop, and still continued, making the final mobilization and arrangement.

Shanxi Datong Mansion, the prefect's yamen, just like the prefect's yamen of Dongchang Prefecture in Shandong, was also changed into a temporary military command by Huo Xiong, and at this time, Huo Xiong was issuing a series of orders.

"The first division set out from Pingdingzhou, entered Zhili, and was responsible for attacking Shijiazhuang."

"Yes, Commander, I promise to complete the mission."

"The second division set off from Meng County, entered Zhili, and was responsible for capturing Zhengding Mansion."

"Yes, Commander, guarantee the mission."

"The third division entered Zhili from Lingqiu and was responsible for conquering Yizhou."

"Yes, Commander, I promise to complete the mission."

"The fourth, fifth, and sixth divisions, follow me, march from Guangling, and the soldiers will be directly subordinate, and they will be responsible for taking Yihua Mansion."

"Yes, Commander, the last general will follow to the death."

......

As the orders were issued one after another, they were transmitted to the various military camps, and the various units of the Qilin Army and the Kongtong Army entered Zhili one after another, and conquered the corresponding areas one after another.

The news of the occupation of the state capital in the southern region of Zhili reached the neighboring state capital in the north, and the army of the Kongtong army had already approached the city, and the soldiers defending the city were caught off guard.

However, regardless of whether the movement was smooth or not, and the casualties were geometric, the armies from all walks of life still advanced in an orderly manner, forming an encirclement from three sides, and the troops were directed at the Qing court's Gyeonggi place, Beijing.
