At this time, it was not only Zhao Hongcan himself, but also the vast majority of Qing generals on the battlefield in eastern Zhejiang understood what they were. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

They are cannon fodder, they are all cannon fodder.

Whether it is the general soldier or the admiral, in the eyes of the emperor, in fact, there is no difference between them and those big-headed soldiers who pay one or two or five dollars a month, they are all cannon fodder, they are all cannon fodder who have no value and can die casually, and now they want to let these cannon fodder exchange their lives for Beijing, in exchange for those Eight Banners lords in Beijing, those princes and nobles, and those of the highest noble level in this country to enjoy peace.

In order to prevent Yang Feng from entering Beijing, even if all the more than 200,000 people on the battlefield in eastern Zhejiang are dead, what's the big deal?

Even Prince Jian said that any mansion can pull out 100,000 strong men.

It is precisely because they understand this that almost all the generals of the green battalion on the battlefield in eastern Zhejiang are very perfunctory, of course the attack is the attack, anyway, the one who dies is the soldier, who dares to disobey the emperor's holy decree, but this kind of trivial matter is easy to solve, every day they strictly follow the requirements of Prince Jane, and constantly in various ways, and even supervise the team to force those soldiers to attack with knives, but they themselves hide in the rear barracks one by one, they should drink and drink, they should listen to the music, anyway, as long as they fight, as for how to fight, there is no need to worry.

Similarly, without the real supervision of these generals, those who served as soldiers would certainly not really go to the Ming army fortress to die.

In the past month or so, they have died enough, and in the end they only got back the dozens of taels of pension silver, and it is said that because of the financial constraints of the imperial court, now the pension silver is only sixty percent, and these sixty percent have to be deducted layer by layer, in fact, the families of the green battalion soldiers who died in the war got the silver in their hands, at most about fifteen taels.

Who can afford to die for this little money?

So on the battlefield that the green battalion is responsible for, there is gradually a scene similar to that of the warlords in the early Republic of China, those who are soldiers are lively and firing guns in the sky, aimlessly firing cannons outside the range of the Ming army's artillery, of course, also outside their own range, and then the generals will rush at the same time as soon as the Ming army on the opposite side fires, and they will all turn around and run away, and when those generals urge again, they will repeat it again, anyway, everyone is the same.

In this way, the Ming army on the fortresses everywhere was speechless.

Later, they all developed to communicate with the Ming army to communicate with each other, for example, when there was a past battle of the Eight Banners, they would notify the Ming army in advance of the location of the latter, and even deliberately made some iconic things, so that the Ming army's artillery fire was well aimed at fighting, anyway, the officials pretended not to know, and the Ming army fought for two years, these green battalion generals all saw the signs, and if they didn't get it, they were going to change the dynasty, in this case, don't be so loyal.

What if Yang Feng enters Beijing?

It's not impossible, just the Yang Demon Man's combat effectiveness, not to mention that there is a strong army around him, he himself estimates that it will be no problem to hit Beijing hard, once he really wants to let him take down Beijing City and take the imperial court to the pot, then it is very difficult to say what should happen in this world, at this time, you have to be cool-headed.

It's not a question of faithfulness or disloyalty, and no one has to think about themselves.

Everyone understands that once Yang Feng really takes down Beijing and ends the imperial court, in case Kangxi follows in the footsteps of Chongzhen at that time, the world will definitely be in chaos again, and the Eight Banners will be stationed in various places, and they will definitely not have the ability to continue to maintain the Qing Dynasty.

In this case, let's leave the back road first!

The only one who is really loyal and goes all out to attack is Sabusu, who is enthusiastic about the Qing Dynasty under the city of Hangzhou.

But Sabusu's enthusiasm can't make up for the 160-year technological gap! The Qing army in 1701 and the Ming army in 1860 couldn't win this battle, not to mention the holy decree, even if the emperor drove the expedition in person, isn't it still like that?

In short, there is no hope for the battlefield in eastern Zhejiang.

But the pressure on the battlefield in eastern Zhejiang is not enough, it is impossible to force Yang Feng away, and if Yang Feng is not forced to go, when his reinforcements arrive, he will definitely march into Beijing, at that time Kang Mazi will use his Eight Banners elite soldiers and the Ming army to fight to the death, no matter whether the battlefield is lost or won, in essence, he is losing, because even if he wins, it is a tragic victory, the Eight Banners elite soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and the old bottom of the Qing Dynasty was hollowed out.

At that time, there were many people who had certain thoughts.

To put it bluntly, this Qing Dynasty is pressed by the bloody prestige of the elite soldiers of the Eight Banners, what destiny returns, what loyal ministers and righteous men are all false, without the hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers of the Eight Banners, he loves the Xinjueluo family and is just a wild man in the old forest of Tunguska, who will surrender to them again?

In short, the country has completely changed.

But it was at this time that the savior of Kang Mazi arrived.

Big Gukou.

"Marshal, reinforcements have arrived."

Gao Huai said as he looked at the signal flag in the observer's hand on the hot air balloon overhead.

Yang Feng, who was basking in the sun, picked up the telescope carelessly, countless white sails were faintly visible on the sea in the distance, this was the transport fleet that returned to Changguo to receive the first brigade of infantry, the whole round trip took 20 days, it is now the early winter season, the northwest wind is mainly blowing, from Dagukou to Changguo is basically all the way downwind and crosswind, from Changguo to Chengshantou to the north this section is also a crosswind, which is very conducive to the navigation of European-style sailing ships, but it becomes a headwind when turning into a mountain to Dagukou, and can only go zigzag to sail.

"Thankfully, they came early, it's a few days late, and maybe our dock will freeze."

Gao Huai said very casually.

"Frozen?"

Yang Feng followed his gaze, and at some point, a stretch of sea ice had appeared on the coast, and even small pieces of floe ice could be seen in the waves from time to time.

"Uh, no, retreat, change places."

Yang Feng's cold sweat broke out all of a sudden, and he shouted almost without the slightest hesitation.

He had been in the south for a long time, and he had almost forgotten a major event, Dagukou had a freezing period in winter, and it lasted for several months, usually from December to February of the following year, and it was already the fifth day of December.

"Dashuai, so urgent?"

Gao Huai was stunned for a moment, he just said it casually, and didn't really pay too much attention to this issue, after all, he had never tasted what it was like to freeze on the sea in his life.

"Nonsense, in case of a snowstorm tonight, you will wait for Ben Shuai to kill you when you get up tomorrow morning!"

Yang Feng said hurriedly.

"Order the convoy to turn around at once and target Shanhaiguan to the north."

Then he said.

The only ice-free port along the coast of Bohai Bay is Qinhuangdao, although there is also ice floes, but because of the high salt content and warm currents, it will hardly be closed, and it is his only option, but the disadvantage is that it is farther away from Beijing, and the advantage is that he has enough time to build a real port, which means that he can put down roots.

Fortunately, the retreat is very simple, the Qing army has retreated to the Gegu area at this time, and the barrage dam of Kang Mazi is beginning to see the scale, after all, he has a lot of strength there, and tens of thousands of migrant workers are whipped by the leather whip, and it is not too difficult to block a dam on the Haihe River during the dry season, and they don't consider what is a once-in-a-century flood, and now the Haihe River has begun to be forced into the surrounding small rivers and ditches, and the entire Qing Dynasty version of the Yellow Flood Area is beginning to see the scale, even if there is no sea ice threat Dagukou is no longer a good choice.

After receiving the order of the commander, the transport ships that were still preparing to dock immediately turned around, while the second brigade in the city quickly withdrew to those cruisers, and then sailed together to Shanhaiguan, four hundred miles away.

The entire retreat went quietly during the night, and it was not until the next morning that the nearby Qing scouts realized that something was wrong.

However, because of the efficiency of the command system, coupled with the fact that the swamp area created by himself was covered with a layer of thin ice, it was not until it was close to noon that a small detachment of the Qing army with a heavy reward reached the mouth of Dagu and launched a tentative attack.

"What did you say?"

When poor Kang Mazi heard the good news that Yinchu reported this pie in the sky, he didn't react at once, and subconsciously asked again.

"Huang Ama, the demon ran away, there was an empty city left at Dagukou, all the thieves ran away, even their warships at sea were clean, it is estimated that the battlefield in eastern Zhejiang was too tight, plus we built a dam to block the Haihe River and flooded the shore, they knew that even if the reinforcements arrived, they could not move forward and attack, so they had to abandon the city and flee. In addition, this Bohai Bay has a freezing period all over the years, and now the sea has begun to appear ice floe, they should close the port if they don't leave, the thief army relies on logistics, once the port can not be transported, they can only sit in the city and wait for death, at this time they will not be able to hold after not leaving.

Yinchu said with a smile.

Cheap this demon!

Kang Mazi said with a sneer.

"Your Majesty, this shows that my Daqing is the destiny of heaven, even if the demon is rampant for a while, after all, he is just a clown."

Next to him, Xiong Cixu patted the fart very interestingly.

"Well, well said, ha, ha!"

Kang Mazi also said with a long-lost smile.

Pity him but he doesn't know, he is destined to rejoice in the air, at this time Yang Feng is taking a huge fleet to ride the wind and waves on the sea, it is estimated that he will arrive at Shanhaiguan tomorrow morning at most, as for the landing or something, this problem can be directly ignored, there was originally a deputy commander of the Eight Banners and a deputy general of the Green Battalion, but these two of them are taking the army to participate in the battle at Dagukou, and the total number of people left behind is estimated to be two or three hundred, and there is no ability to resist at all.
