In the Celestial Empire, Yang Xiuqing can be any master, the only thing he can't do is the construction of the new army, he and Lin Haifeng have a tacit understanding, and they have to listen to Lin Haifeng in this regard. He had no choice but to kick the ball to King Ning Zheng Nan.
Zheng Nan, who had already done his best, in addition to arranging a part of the supply of grenades and explosives for Anhui, also sent a special letter to Wei Changhui, repeatedly explaining that although the weapon was good, if it was not used intensively, it would not be able to bring out the effect that the weapon should have. Therefore, the supply of new weapons to any troops could not be carried out after the 1st Red Army was not fully equipped.
Yang Xiuqing and Zheng Nan did not know whether Wei Changhui was satisfied with this reply, but Wei Changhui had another opinion on the activities of the personnel of the Anhui Ministry of Internal Affairs, saying that they went around secretly investigating some generals in the army, causing internal chaos. However, the Ministry of Internal Affairs reported that there were a group of people who were dissatisfied with the Celestial Empire in the Northern King's army.
Yang Xiuqing finally felt the severity of the matter. He hadn't come up with a better way to deal with it, and reports of Anhui's defeat came one after another.
Wei Changhui didn't mean to lose the battle, on the contrary, he really wanted to show a good show and share the limelight between Shi Dakai and Lin Haifeng. As soon as he arrived in Luzhou, looking at Lai Hanying's already controlled Nuoda region, as well as the rapidly expanding army, he was very satisfied for a while, and he also wanted to hold Lai Hanying. How do you know that this Heavenly King's brother-in-law is not at all as he imagined, and he seems to be incompatible with himself everywhere in the rectification of the old and new armies. Especially for those so-called Anhui Provincial Self-Defense Army, the attitude is too ambiguous. In Wei Changhui's eyes, most of those twisters have corrupt military discipline, freedom and looseness, plus they have different beliefs, and now that the Heavenly Army is powerful, they are naturally willing to cling, once the momentum is reversed, these people will definitely not die carrying the banner of the Celestial Empire. Therefore, he wanted to adapt these self-defense forces and reshape them.
For this reason, after Zhang Lexing led the army to conquer Fuyang, Wei Changhui ordered the self-defense army to move closer to Luzhou. However, this order did not get a response from the other party, not to mention, Lai Hanying was also extremely opposed. As a result, Wei Changhui regarded Lai Hanying, who originally wanted to be a confidant, as a stumbling block.
Who would have thought that as soon as Lai Hanying was finally dealt with, the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs began to make trouble for him again.
In Anhui, although many large households and landlords have retained property and land owned by the Heavenly Army, Lai Hanying has been conscientiously implementing the policy of reducing rents and interest rates. In many places, the tenants simply stopped paying the rent, and the landlords were sad, but the officials of the Celestial Empire and the village turned a deaf ear. However, if a large Toda dares to default on the wages of his hired workers, or overcharge a little bit of land rent, then it will become a big deal, the official asked, and the heavenly army will look for it until you are honest. In the past, the poor people were really able to raise their eyebrows, and folk songs praising the Celestial Empire were sung everywhere, "Long hair is good, long hair is good, begging guys wear leather jackets, poor people send ingots, rich people can't stand it." ”
It is in this situation that Wei Changhui's newly dispatched Lu'an guard Deng Guangming is abnormal. This person, who joined the Celestial Army from Jintian and can also be said to have been fighting for a long time, did not approve of the Celestial Empire's policy of suppressing the rich and helping the poor, and even sympathized with those who had rich. He not only issued a warrant for a local gentry surnamed Song, prohibiting the soldiers and people of the Heavenly Army from coming to "harass" him, but also specially appointed officials to collect the arrears of rent from the tenants on behalf of the landlords, causing resentment among the people.
When the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Luzhou reported the matter to Wei Changhui, Wei Changhui did not stop it, but thought that the Ministry of Internal Affairs was deliberately making things difficult for him. Because of his elbow, the work of the Ministry of the Interior has become more and more difficult.
The Qing army successively sent additional men and horses to Anhui, and began to fight for Mengcheng and Fuyang, which had just been lost to the Anhui Provincial Self-Defense Army. Wei Changhui, who received Zhang Lexing's urgent documents, listened to Cheng Xueqi, Qian Guiren and others, and sent his army to attack Shouchun and besiege Wei to save Zhao.
Cheng Xueqi and Qian Guiren are both from Tongcheng, Anhui Province, and the Taiping Army conquered Luzhou, and they had the despicable idea of one day fighting back, so they blended into the ranks of the Heavenly Army and lurked to look for opportunities. is such two villains who were originally clever and flamboyant, and did their best to blow and shoot and were not reused by Lai Hanying, but in the current Beiwang Mansion, they have become clerks and staff.
In Shouchun, what Wei Changhui was waiting for was not the internal response that Cheng Xueqi and others said, but because he had not yet gained a stable foothold, and the camp was not built in time, he was attacked by the Qing army from three sides. Shengbao, who was stationed in Shouchun, as well as Zhang Liangji, the governor of Shandong, who was supposed to be outside Fuyang and Mengcheng, and the banners of Shanlu, the general of Suiyuan, also appeared in front of Wei Changhui at the same time.
The Celestial Army responded in a hurry and immediately fell into passivity. Although the former army commander Li Zhaoshou finally couldn't support it after a hard battle, he was defeated, and behind him, most of the armies were formed by recruits, because the veterans and recruits in Li Zhaoshou's army were already contradictory on weekdays, and when they saw the defeat of the veterans, the soldiers were panicked, and the formation was suddenly in chaos.
Wei Changhui's army was defeated on all fronts. It was only at this time that he believed that he had really fallen for the trick of the Qing Demon.
Like him, Zeng Lichang, who came out of Yangzhou to attack Chuzhou, also fell into the trap set in advance by the Qing army. In Chuzhou, the siege position had not yet begun, but behind him there was a rolling Mongolian elite cavalry.
Zeng Lichang was almost wiped out, and only a few hundred soldiers rushed out of the encirclement, and he couldn't even go back to Yangzhou, so he could only run to Chaohu.
However, Wei Changhui was protected by a battalion of soldiers transferred from Yangzhou with all the new equipment, and returned all the way to Luzhou. This battalion was originally a unit of the teaching brigade, and it was the main force specially arranged by Lin Haifeng for Li Shixian to guard Yangzhou, but now, it has become the guard of the Northern King.
The Qing army then swarmed in, and soon, Deng Guangming rebelled, Lu'an was lost, Chaohu was besieged, and Luzhou also became an isolated city. And Yangzhou, Li Shixian and Chen Shibao fought hard, the city was blown up in many places, and after several battles, the heavenly army also became the end of the strong crossbow, and it was in danger.
This qiē came so fast that Yang Xiuqing was caught off guard.
"I'm really worried about Haifeng and them now," Zheng Nan sighed after reading those emergency scripts, "Anhui's defeat not only violates our established strategy, but also interferes with the deployment of all aspects. ”
"The soldiers are coming, the water is coming to cover the earth, it's useless to be anxious." Yang Xiuqing fiddled with the pile of emergency documents in front of him, looking very leisurely, but his brain was spinning rapidly.
Zheng Nan really admired Yang Xiuqing's steadiness and arrived home. It was in such a situation that there was still no irritability and scolding. "Now we don't have the strength to mobilize, and we can only think about Yangzhou first."
"Yes, Luzhou can still support for a moment and a half, and now we must consolidate Yangzhou and Zhenjiang." Yang Xiuqing finally made up his mind, he slapped the table and smiled, "I think that Brother Haifeng will definitely return to Zhenjiang." In addition, there are still soldiers and horses in Tianjing that can be mobilized......"
"Brother Wang is talking about Li Fuyou's security corps?" Zheng Nan nodded, "Excluding the men and horses guarding the important targets, they can still gather more than 2,000 people." ”
"Hehe, the current Tianjing is a real paradise, and the ministry needs to garrison so many people. Not only is it the security corps, but the female army of Xuanjiao's sister is not something to be underestimated. Yang Xiuqing squeezed his eyes at Zheng Nan, "Don't forget, we still have nine thousand Heavenly Princesses." ”
"What about Luzhou?" Zheng Nan thought for a while, "Do you want me to come and organize another unit immediately to relieve the siege of Luzhou?" ”
"Haha, brother, do you really think that the king of the north is just a waste?" Yang Xiuqing smiled, "Don't worry, he can keep it." ”
After a pause, he subconsciously looked to the east, "Shanghai, Brother Haifeng only has more than 20,000 people, if the foreigners are really fully involved, it will be ......."
Zheng Nan slowly closed his eyes, he was too familiar with Lin Haifeng's character, this guy dared to take the risk of doing this, there must be something to do, what could it be?
