Chapter Forty-Eight—The Reaction of the Pseudo-Qing
Gun emplacements No. 1 and No. 2 are ready for ......
After some tedious preparations, four or five thousand meters away from Zhang Yun, a few fireworks suddenly appeared, and when the smoke and dust cleared, looking through the telescope, the pits on the ground were at least three or four meters......
The power of the 120 mortar, almost, that's it!
Next, Zhang Yun asked Lu Youwang to lead the troops to set up camp...... Stay here for a few more days, when the artillery battalion is familiar with the use of this artillery...... Continue to raise troops to the north!
……
More than half a month has passed since that day when Zheng Qiushan, with dozens of Makqin heavy machine guns, unexpectedly defeated the Taiping army that wanted to surrender to the Manchu Dynasty. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
And during this time, Yang Desheng and Zhou Yuancheng experienced great joys and sorrows in their lives!
first unified the Taiping army and became the two kings of the Taiping army, but before they could organize their troops, on the sixth day after Li Xiucheng's hiccup, forty or fifty thousand puppet Qing cavalry appeared in Caozhou......
So the two of them hurriedly responded to the battle, and the result naturally went without saying...... With a group of troops that have not yet been reorganized at all levels, to meet the enemy's tens of thousands of cavalry, it is naturally a big defeat!
Good news at the moment!
On behalf of Zhang Yun, Li Qing commanded Zheng Qiushan and led the cavalry division to re-erect the Makqin heavy machine gun, which had few bullets, on the plain......
In the end, although it was said that it was after helping the Taiping Army to break off, it didn't help them, how much time did they have to run away, after all, each heavy machine gun had only a little bullet left!
So, next, Yang Desheng and Zhou Yuancheng took the Taiping army, which had not yet been rectified, and under the entanglement of 20,000 or 30,000 cavalry troops on the puppet Qing side, they struggled to retreat to Shangqiu, Henan!
And because Zheng Qiushan's cavalry troops, in the first battle for the Taiping army, suffered serious losses, they no longer have the ability to continue fighting, and can only do reconnaissance work for the Taiping army......
So the Taiping Army after that, the fugitive life along the way...... But it's hard to be forced!
Later, he was caught up by the puppet Qing cavalry several times, and suffered a lot of hardships.
After detecting the retreat direction of the Taiping army, Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang quickly changed the direction of the march, and finally blocked the Taiping army on the border of Shandong and Henan......
After a hard battle, Zhou Yuancheng and Yang Desheng left almost half of their troops, and finally got rid of the entanglement of Li Hongzhang and others!
……
In which big battle can they get, the Taiping soldiers who escaped are basically elites!
That's it...... Yang Desheng and Zhou Yuancheng were able to successfully retreat to Shangqiu, Henan with tens of thousands of remnants of the Taiping Army.
Since Zhang Yun had clearly given them instructions, the two of them were not prepared to continue to flee to the south with these tens of thousands of people, but chose to stay in Shangqiu, Henan Province through gritted teeth, and fight to the end with Li Hongzhang and other pseudo-Qing slaves!
Suddenly, Shangqiu, Henan, was full of war clouds, and due to the non-cooperation of the Taiping army, Li Hongzhang could only choose to be here and play hide with the Taiping army.
Of course, he knew better that Zhang Yun had also entered Henan, and in order to guard against Zhang Yun, he could be regarded as giving the Taiping army a way out, and did not send all the troops to search for the Taiping army.
It's a pity that the heavens don't follow people's wishes, although Li Hongzhang has been preparing for a decisive battle with Zhang Yun, it's a pity that his puppet masters don't think so!
……
The Forbidden City Taihe Palace.
Cixi sat behind the beaded curtain, questioning in a weird way...... Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang fought in the military, you must know that in the eyes of the puppet Qing rulers, the Taiping army is the biggest enemy.
……
And Zhang Yunding is more of a bandit, and he has never proclaimed himself king like the Taiping Army...... Completely raised the flag and rebelled!
If there was no Taiping army in front, of course Cixi wanted to clean up Zhang Yun...... But now the Taiping army has not been extinguished, but it has come to the point of the end of the year.
At this time, Li Hongzhang made an excerpt and said that because he had to guard against Zhang Yun, he could not exterminate the remnants of the Taiping Army as soon as possible! How can Cixi endure this?
Therefore, when Li Hongzhang's excerpt arrived in the capital, Cixi finally couldn't hold back the anger in her heart, and today it was all sent out in the Taihe Palace!
Yixin's face kept changing, and he wanted to open his mouth to explain a thing or two to Li Hongzhang several times, but was forcibly interrupted by Cixi, and at this moment he could only pretend to be an ostrich below, looking at his nose and nose and heart......
It wasn't until Cixi vented her anger enough and her tone slowly lowered that Yixin finally interjected!
"The Empress Dowager Qiyu...... This is the general course of events, the remnants of the Taiping Army! You can't turn over. ”
"At this time, it's nothing to let them go first, the key is to resist Zhang Yun, this thief is definitely not as harmless as the outside world rumores!"
"If the Taiping traitor is a disease of ringworm, I'm afraid this Zhang Yun is us...... The biggest enemy of the Qing Dynasty, please also ask the Queen Mother to see it. ”
"Hmm!"
Cixi snorted from her nostrils, obviously very disdainful of Yixin's words, more than ten years since the Taiping Army started its army, it has made a mess of the puppet Qing Dynasty!
In the following years, the Taiping army even succeeded in separating the entire south and claiming the king, and there was already a point to emulate the northern and southern Song dynasties...... The meaning of the river and the rule of the pseudo-Qing Dynasty.
Just ask Cixi how not to be afraid!
Then Cixi said to the left and right: "Immediately draft an edict and order Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang to destroy the remnants of the Taiping Army this time, and not let go of one person, as for Zhang Yun, you can let go first......"
When Cixi ordered someone to draft the decree, Yixin wanted to interject several times, and the blue tendons on his forehead jumped, but on an occasion like the Taihe Palace, it was really not suitable to cause such an antagonistic situation with Cixi!
Therefore, he has been holding back, and as soon as Cixi's decree is finished, Yixin can't wait to jump out and say: "The minister implores the queen mother to withdraw the edict......"
Yixin's words made Cixi furious, Cixi's ambition at this time had gradually been exposed, her desire for power was too strong, she wanted to control everything, and she would not allow others to disobey her.
And now that Yixin interrupted her decision three times and twice, the anger in Cixi's heart could no longer be suppressed, and the next thing was to put ...... was close to the forces of Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang, and completely scolded!
For a woman who wanted to control the imperial court, a person like Yixin who wanted to provoke her majesty three times and twice, Cixi really wanted to kill him.
But she is a queen mother who wants to kill the prince, and she is really powerless!
What's more, Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang, who now hold the military power of the Qing Dynasty, have always stood behind Yixin, and they really can't attack him easily.
Therefore, in the end, this quarrel only ended with Yixin taking a few boards!
