The peace talks, which had no practical significance, finally came to an end, and as for how Sony would report to the little emperor and Dorgon when he returned to Beijing, this was not within Luo Jian's consideration.

Luo Jian is now most concerned about whether Yan Yingyuan's marines have landed in the northeast, hating the current communication conditions, Luo Jian is determined to get the telegram out with Zhu Cihuan and them as soon as the battle is over.

"Don't wait for their news, let's believe in Liheng, he has the ability to complete the task, not to mention that the Marines have been fighting a lot after several actual battles, and their combat effectiveness is no longer what it used to be. Ordered the troops to begin their march to Beijing tomorrow. After thinking about it for a long time, Luo Jian finally made up his mind.

Wang Qiang and Ma Yingkui were a little excited, the troops had stayed in Wen'an County for ten days, if it hadn't been delayed because of the rain, I am afraid that it would have fallen in Beijing by now.

Although the spring sun was drowsy, the fine weather allowed the roads to dry quickly, and the march of the troops was completely unaffected.

Luo Jian and Wang Qiang rode in the middle of the ranks, and the cavalry brigade of the Seventh Division and Zhao Quan would go straight to Tongzhou, preparing to attack the city of Beijing from the east.

Ma Yingkui's 10th Division had to run further, and they would surround the capital from outside Tongzhou to the north of the capital with the cooperation of Leng Yundeng's brigade, and when the 7th Division arrived in Yongqing, Ma Yingkui and Zhao Quan had already passed Langfang.

The Fourth and Sixth Divisions swooped down on the west and south of Beijing respectively, and Luo Jian was ready to surround the city of Beijing, but Luo Jian was not sure whether the Manchu court would abandon the city and flee like the Northern Yuan.

If there were planes flying in the sky at this time, you could see four huge green arrows departing from Munan County on the land of Gyeonggi. From different directions, go to the city of Beijing.

"Chief. Have you been to Beijing before? Wang Qiang asked. Although he marched for two or three days in a row, Wang Qiang was still full of energy.

"Xiao Wang, you wait." Luo Jian seemed to have something in mind.

"Chief, what's the matter?" Wang Qiang was a little surprised.

"Why do I think our route to Beijing is so familiar? Which battle also took this route? Luo Jian frowned and thought carefully.

"Chief, I don't know." Wang Qiang shook his head on the horse.

Luo Jian was a little helpless, he felt very familiar things, but he couldn't remember them when he came to his mind.

"It would have been nice to have a computer. Xiao Wang, haven't you been to Beijing before? "I can't think of it. Luo Jian simply didn't want to.

"I've been here, I've been here several times. I've been to many places on the Great Wall, but I don't feel familiar at all now. Wang Qiang said.

"It's been a few hundred years, and now that I've entered Beijing City, I'm afraid we won't be familiar with other places except the Forbidden City." Saying that, Luo Jian also felt a little magical, he had been to Beijing several times, and he had a meeting to study, and now he came to Beijing with an army of 100,000 to attack Beijing City.

"Xiao Wang, I'm afraid I never dreamed that I would attack Beijing City with thousands of troops, right?" Luo Jian asked with a smile.

"yes. Chief, the capital of his own country. How could such a thought come to mind? By the way, the chief, will you still make Beijing the capital in the future? Wang Qiang also said with a smile.

"Xiao Wang, you finally gave me a problem now, and I really haven't thought about it." Luo Jian said with a wry smile.

However, the two did not have time to discuss this issue again, it was already noon, and it was time for the troops to eat and rest.

There were no Qing soldiers to intercept this way, which made Luo Jian a little surprised, could it be that Dolgon was really preparing to fight a decisive battle with the Wehrmacht in Beijing?

The grain and grass baggage was personally escorted by Yi Bangcai, and did not catch up with the troops, the troops from yesterday to the day after tomorrow, Luo Jian, like every soldier, was eating compressed dry food and canned fruits in the past few days.

Just when Luo Jian, Wang Qiang and the staff officers of the Seventh Division were eating dry food in a circle, two war horses galloped in the distance, and when they saw Luo Jian eating, the knight on the horse restrained the war horse from a distance, and ran towards Luo Jian after dismounting.

"It's the scout back." Although both of them were wearing Manchu costumes and had rat tails on the back of their heads, Wang Qiang could see it from afar.

The two scouts ran out of the circle and raised their hands to salute the crowd, but both of them were wearing short coats and rat braids, and they looked a little nondescript.

"You guys are dressed like this, you don't need to salute, do you?" Wang Qiang said with a smile.

The two scouts were all in the same place, and then one of them said, "Division commander, even if we keep this rat's tail, we are always from the Seventh Division, how can we not salute you commanders?" ”

When Wang Qiang heard this, this person was really excited, so he had to smile and say, "Okay, okay, let's talk about the situation." ”

The two of them answered, and the person who had just shouted raised his foot and took off the cloth shoes on his feet, picked the soles of his shoes, and took out a piece of paper from the soles of his shoes, on which there was originally a map of the vicinity of Beijing drawn by the staff officer of the General Staff, and the scouts had only made some marks on the map.

"I'm eating, the soles of my feet are stinking to death, let's talk about it." Wang Qiang asked the guards to bring dry food and canned fruit to the two scouts, and let them sit down and talk while eating.

"The Metropolitan Governor, the division commander, we only focused on reconnoitring the route of our division's attack, from here to the capital Tartars did not arrange troops, their new troops were all gathered near the city of Beijing, the Tartars of Tongzhou have more than 30,000 horses, on the west side of the canal near the capital to build a large number of fortifications, there is only one stone bridge on the canal to the north and south, there are eight miles away from Tongzhou, called Bali Bridge..."

"Wait, what bridge did you just say?" When Luo Jian heard this, his heart suddenly moved, and he asked the scout.

"The Metropolitan Governor, called Bali Bridge." The scout replied.

Listening to the scout's words, Luo Jian thought about it, it turned out that the route of the Seventh Division's march was basically the same as the route of the Anglo-French alliance army in Beijing in another time and space in 1860.

The Battle of Bali Bridge was learned by Luo Jian when he studied military history in the military academy, after so many years, the impression was not very deep, just now on the road I felt that this route was a little familiar, but I didn't expect it to be the route taken by the British and French forces when they invaded China.

At that time, the British and French troops landed in Tanggu, captured Tianjin, and continued to attack the city of Beijing. The route taken was exactly the same as the march route of the Seventh Division after passing Langfang.

The Battle of Bali Bridge was a classic battle between the modern army and the feudal army. The Anglo-French forces had already been tested by the Napoleonic Wars. Soldiers are compulsory military service plus professional officer corps. These Anglo-French troops were not only armed with breech-loading flintlock pistols and smoothbore guns equipped with bayonets. Some also used the latest rifled artillery and rifles, which had just been invented, and used the latest tactics such as hollow phalanxes and three-row array battle infantry lines.

The Manchu Eight Banners Army was a mixed infantry and cavalry army with a mixture of hot and cold weapons, and the Green Battalion Army was equipped with a small number of imported and imitated old-style smoothbore guns, self-made domestic bird guns, carrying guns, carrying guns, mountain splitting guns, and cold weapons such as broadswords and spears. In the battle of Bali Bridge, more than half of the more than 30,000 Qing troops were killed and wounded, while only 12 of the 10,000 British and French troops were killed.

After returning to China, the French general who commanded the battle, Montoban, was named "Count of Baliqiao" by the French Emperor Napoleon III. He also made him a senator. Napoleon offered to give him an annuity of 50,000 francs as a reward, but was opposed by a majority of the parliamentarians. The parliamentarians believed that what took place at Baliqiao was nothing more than "a laughable battle", and that "only twelve of us were killed during the whole campaign, and we did not deserve such a high reward!" ”

Luo Jian remembered that when he learned this classic war history, the entire cadet team was almost extremely angry, and they were all hating the corruption and incompetence of the Manchu court.

"Chief, do you remember?" Wang Qiang noticed that Luo Jian's expression was a little abnormal, and knew what he remembered.

Luo Jian frowned and nodded. His face was not very good-looking, which made Wang Qiang feel a little puzzled. He always thought that the battle near Beijing City in another time and space that Luo Jian said was a matter of the Liberation War, but he didn't expect it to be the end of the Qing Dynasty, but now that there are many people, Wang Qiang is not good to ask Luo Jian in detail.

The scout continued to report the situation near Beijing City, the commander of the new Qing army responsible for guarding Tongzhou was everyone's old acquaintance Kong Youde, which made Wang Qiang very excited, he had long wanted to clean up this Qing Dingnan King, but Kong Youde had been very careful since he knew that the firearms of the national defense army were extremely powerful under the city of Yangzhou, and let him escape several times, and now he has arrived in the capital of the Manchu Qing Dynasty to see where he will flee again.

After listening to the scout's report, Luo Jian thought about it carefully, the deployment of Manchu Qing troops in Tongzhou was quite similar to the deployment of Seng Lingling in another time and space, and Luo Jian was a little surprised by the amazing historical coincidence.

Wang Qiang finally couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, and when he was marching in the afternoon, he rushed to Luo Jian's side and asked, "Chief, which battle is the same as the route of our march you said?" ”

"The Battle of Bali Bridge." Only then did Luo Jian give Wang Qiang a detailed introduction to the Battle of Bali Bridge.

"Fifty or sixty thousand against ten thousand, and only twelve were killed? This is something that only the Manchus can do. Wang Qiang didn't care too much, just pouted and said.

"Today, we are fighting the Battle of Bali Bridge to avoid similar shame in more than two hundred years, but Xiao Wang, I can remind you that the equipment of the new army is much stronger than that of the Qing army of Seng Lingling more than two hundred years later, so you should not underestimate the enemy." Luo Jian was worried that Wang Qiang would underestimate the enemy, so he reminded him.

"Chief, we are not the Anglo-French alliance more than 200 years later, besides, don't you still have a chief?" Wang Qiang said with a smile.

"Don't count on me, you have to make full use of your staff team, one person is short, ten people are long, you have to listen to the opinions of others, I estimate that I will not personally participate in the war after taking Beijing, although you are now a lot more mature than before, but you still lack the ability to take charge and grasp the overall situation, you kid have to hurry." Luo Jian was a little dissatisfied with Wang Qiang's dependence on him, and said to him a little seriously.

"Chief, just watch it this time, and see how I clean up Kong Youde!" was so agitated by Luo Jian, Wang Qiang's face turned a little red.

"Okay, it's okay for you to be my absence, here is a reminder to you, you must give full play to your firepower, don't be too impulsive, and make decisions carefully." Luo Jian said.

On March 28, 1650, the 7th Division and 1st Regiment had approached Zhangjiawan, less than ten miles away from Tongzhou, and the battle to recover Beijing was about to begin.

Luo Jian completely fulfilled his promise this time, and no longer interfered in the operational deployment of the Seventh Division, and even the documents sent by the Seventh Division were only signed with the word "read".

In this way, although the 15,000 people of the Seventh Division were busy preparing before the battle, Luo Jian, like Zuo Maodi, became an idler, and the two were idle, setting up a chessboard outside the tent, and the two played chess.

I have to say that the literati of this era know how to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and Zuo Maodi's Go level is really good, and the two of them are very difficult to solve.

Luo Jian was determined to encircle and annihilate a big dragon of Zuo Maodi, but he didn't expect to be escaped by Zuo Maodi in a direction that Luo Jian had thought of.

Luo Jian's heart suddenly moved, Luozi's hand stopped, and asked Zuo Maodi: "Mr. Zuo, do you think the Manchu Emperor will run to Mongolia?" (To be continued.) )
