If we talk about the green camp system of Zhili, Tongyong Town is mainly responsible for the defense of the periphery of the Beijing Division, Tianjin Town is the coastal defense of Bohai Bay, and Gubeikou Town is the location of the northern defense line of the capital. www.biquge.info It can be said that among the military towns of Zhili, Gubeikou Town should be the first, the strongest troops, and it is also the garrison of the Admiral of Zhili, commanding the four battalions (middle battalion, left battalion, right battalion, and rear battalion) of the commander of the Admiral, the left battalion and the right battalion of the Hetun Association of Chengde Prefecture, and the rest of the troops are: Miyun City Garrison Battalion, Shunyi Battalion, Tang San Battalion, Santun Battalion, Xifeng Road, Yanhe Road, Jianchang Road, Bagou Battalion, Jianchang Battalion, Chifeng Battalion, Chaoyang Battalion, Changping Battalion, Juyong Road, Gonghua Battalion, Huairou Road, Tangquan Camp, Gubeikou.

In the previous siege battle against the Beijing Division, the Qing army in Chaoyang, Shunyi, Miyun, Huairou and other places had been wiped out, and the Tang army had already controlled all the areas south of Yanshan. The military strength of Gubeikou Town is still close to four or five thousand people, with the military town as the main force, and Chengde also has a certain number of troops, of course, some scattered troops are scattered in various places in the north. For example, Santun Camp is located in Tangshan, and Zunhua Camp near it belongs to Malan Town.

When he first took the Beijing Division, Bai Nan's main focus was on the Manchu people in the inner city, so he only transferred an infantry battalion to fortify in the Miyun area, and if the troops of Gubeikou Town came from the south, they could snipe them on the spot, but the initiative to attack was a bit too much to catch.

Even in later generations, the degree of development has been deep, and the Yanshan Mountains to the north of Miyun are undulating, and the road is very difficult to walk, and in this era, it is obviously more difficult to enter the mountains to attack.

Just because it's difficult doesn't mean you don't have to do it. Yanshan is a natural barrier in the capital, and this section north of the capital is called Jundu Mountain, where the Great Wall is located. Since ancient times, nomads have entered the Central Plains. Yanshan and Yinshan are obstacles that cannot be bypassed for a long time. The Han nationality is an agrarian nation. Along the rolling hills built a miracle in the history of human engineering. Until now. Although the Mongols in the north are no longer the terrible existence of the Golden Family's era, and they have been somewhat degraded by the dual domestication of Lamaism and Manchus, the tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry will still make any Central Plains ruler talk about it.

Bai Nan didn't worry much about such things as the Mongolian cavalry, he firmly believed that the Tang army could defeat the Mongolian cavalry, but if he could do it with less effort, he would have to spend less effort, after all, every soldier of the Tang army was precious, and Bai Nan could not bear too many casualties. So the easiest way to do that is to keep them out with a great wall.

Of course, Bai Nan himself felt that this could probably be regarded as a rainy day, because even if the Mongol princes were able to form the Qin Wang Army, it would definitely not be a matter of the near future.

Huang Chao, the commander of the second brigade, expressed his hidden worries to Bai Nan: "Even if we add the Snow Leopard Regiment and the Third Brigade, our strength is only 15,000 people, and this is basically the limit that our country can put into the war." The country cannot but leave some mobile forces to deal with the sudden situation. I am in favor of Commander Bai's active defensive posture, but we are also facing trouble, our forces are still too limited, not only to maintain a campaign-level force, but also to divide troops to guard important passes. Some administrative activities in the Beijing-Tianjin area now also have to be made cameos by our troops, although fifteen thousand people sounds like a lot. But when you scatter like this, you can't see it. ”

Huang Chao's consideration Bai Nan actually understood it very well, he said: "We don't have a good way to do this, I have always believed that the most difficult part of the cuckoo plan is not to take the Forbidden City and Qianlong during the raid process, but how to achieve a major victory in the subsequent Qinwang War without causing heavy losses, play our prestige, and frighten the enemy." ”

Huang Chao asked, "Has Commander Bai considered using the 'puppet army'?" ”

Bai Nan smiled and said: "Of course I have considered this, but we have only landed for half a month, even if it is a local in the capital, many of them are not familiar with us enough, recruiting puppet soldiers for their own use, how can this take a process, we can't say that we can simply throw those people a military uniform and a gun, and let them fight for us." ”

Huang Chao said: "Training is definitely necessary, I'm afraid it will take at least three months to be able to have enough combat effectiveness, but with the speed of the Qing army's assembly, I think we have the time to complete this matter, on the one hand, we have tens of thousands of green battalion soldiers in our hands, on the other hand, we can also use economic interests to recruit good families near the capital, there is no problem with granting land and houses, if they are worried about retaliation, we can directly take their families to Datang to do immigration, so as to kill two birds with one stone." We can draw a group of veterans from the army to serve as officers at the grassroots level, and we don't need how strong the combat effectiveness of this 'puppet army' unit is, and we can follow the main force of our Tang Army to fight a good battle and guard an important pass. ”

Bai Nan didn't plan to start the "puppet army mode" so soon, but now that there are more and more places to employ people, he doesn't know whether these newly recruited troops are suitable or not, but it is true that as Huang Chao said, if he can get 10,000 new soldiers, it will play a major role in the situation of his entire battlefield.

As for the word puppet army, of course, it is just a joke. After careful consideration, in fact, the Green Battalion is the real puppet army, and these soldiers, like the Tang Army, are the children of the Han people, but the wild boar skins are outsiders.

In the end, Bai Nan instructed the staff of the expeditionary force to make a more detailed plan and officially began to recruit soldiers locally to form the "Armed Guard Army". That's right, it's so uncreative, the General Staff has drawn up more than a dozen names, what messy names such as the North China Security Army, the Tang Xiejun Army, the Security Army, and the Baoguo Volunteer Army, which made Bai Nantou very angry, and finally he transplanted a name from the late Qing period, because for this army, Bai Nan still has more far-reaching ideas for the follow-up.

From that day on, the soldiers of the Tang Army entered the prisoner of war camp in the Green Camp and began to carry out lobbying operations. Soldiers who are willing to join the Armed Guard can be punished with reduced responsibility and a high salary, while their families can also receive preferential treatment. Worried that their families would be persecuted, Datang officials also promised that they could transfer their families to areas controlled by Datang, or even send them directly to the mainland, where they could enjoy 200 percent of the treatment of normal immigrants, such as 10 acres of land per person and 20 acres of land for military families.

Where the headquarters of the Datang Expeditionary Force is located, there is a middle-aged man with a hunched back standing in front of Bai Nan, who is the general manager who immediately surrendered when he saw that the situation was not right in Chaoyangmen that day, Liao Yuhai. After learning that the Tang Army hoped that the Green Battalion would "set things right" and "abandon the darkness and turn to the light", as an officer, Liao Yuhai was the first to stand up and shout Long live the Tang Emperor.

This naturally made a big joke, Liao Yuhai was imprisoned for two weeks, and he still doesn't know that there is no emperor in the Tang Dynasty, as for what the word republic means, he, who knows a little bit about it, still hasn't figured it out.

However, this does not hinder people's "ideological awareness".

was repeatedly warned not to kneel when he saw the commander, Liao Yuhai clenched his fists, and his posture was still very low. He didn't know what the commander was, and the staff officer who brought him over told him that he was roughly equivalent to a generalissimo, and that he was the leader of the Tang Army, which was fighting in the Qing State. Liao Yuhai was in great spirits at this time, he didn't expect that it was the boss behind the scenes who met him, and he couldn't help but think about how he could show loyalty in front of the commander-in-chief.

"Mr. Liao, I am very happy and relieved to hear that you are the first green battalion general who is determined to surrender to Cheng, so please tell me why you chose to surrender?" Bai Nan let Liao Yuhai sit, Liao Yuhai was grateful, he didn't expect that as soon as he came in, he was allowed to sit with the marshal, which was a great honor and courtesy, Liao Yuhai almost cried and shouted to repay Bai Nan's appreciation, even if Bai Nan thought that he had just done something that should have happened.

Liao Yuhai only sat on the bench for half of his buttocks, he hugged his fists and replied: "My Datang is rich and powerful, and I heard that Datang is rich and strong, and it can cross the ocean for thousands of miles. I have admired the Tang Dynasty for a long time, and I heard that the Tang Dynasty is a country built by my Han family's son, and it is not comparable to the Manchu Qing Dynasty. On that day, after the defeat of Chaoyangmen, he suddenly woke up to the fact that the Tartars had stolen Shenzhou, and their lives had been exhausted, and it was the Tang Dynasty soldiers sent by God to come to correct the situation. This is the will of God, non-human can be disobedient, although the humble does not have much ability, but also knows that with the hero becomes a hero, but also the iron-clad Han people, this braid has been left since childhood, today it should be broken, restore my Han clothes! ”

After all, this guy actually took off his hat, got his braids, and pretended to cut his braids. Bai Nan waved his hand and said: "Lord Liao's heart is very good, if you want to cut your braids and turn around and someone to help you get it, don't worry." ”

Liao Yuhai hurriedly clenched his fists, "Yes, I respect to follow the order of the commander." ”

Bai Nan said with a smile: "You also know now, our Datang intends to set up a military guard army in the capital, composed of soldiers who abandoned the dark and surrendered to the light in the original green camp and local good families, and the number of posts has not yet been determined, but basically there are 3,000 and 3,000, 10,000 and 10,000, which can afford to recruit 100,000 people, and our Datang can also afford to raise them." Lord Liao has played a good role model, now, I hope you can go back to the prisoner of war camp, lead those brothers who are determined to surrender, and do a good job for everyone, I still hope that everyone will not fight and do not know each other, and eventually become comrades-in-arms in the same camp, after all, working for the Manchu Qing Dynasty is a dead end, there is no future, and working with us, the future is bright. ”

Liao Yuhai hurriedly said: "Entrusted by the commander, the villain must go all out!" ”

Bai Nan smiled slightly, and said: "That's good, so that you know, if you bring in 100 people, you will be a company commander, which is roughly equivalent to your 100 general, if you bring in 500 people, be a battalion commander, and bring in 1,000 people is the regiment commander, if there are 10,000 people, hehe, then you are the division commander, so, what is your status, it is completely up to your own efforts, come on."
