Weakly ask, is there still a monthly pass?

Just when the leaders of the God Worship Society were pondering about the first to enter Beijing with Zhu Jishi, the two armies of the Ming and Qing dynasties were still facing each other on both sides of the Dongjiang River.

I have to say that this monk Grinqin will still fight, and there is nothing wrong with his deployment. The terrain north of the Dongjiang River is relatively open, which is conducive to the cavalry, while the water network south of the Dongjiang River is dense, and the cavalry cannot be spread at all. Therefore, Seng Lingqin was completely correct in his choice of battlefield. And although he has 40,000 or 50,000 troops in his hands, the elite level is not as good as the Ming army, which is completely strictly trained by Western law. Defending the village to the death, and then using cavalry to maneuver around the guerrillas, it is indeed a greater chance of victory. If you give up the cavalry advantage and cross the Dongjiang River to fight a field battle with the Ming army, I am afraid that you will definitely be defeated.

"This monk is a general!"

Zuo Zongtang, Han Si, Su Yuniang, Luo Junqi, Qiu Fatzi, Haiming, Lao Peel and other high-level members of the Ming army were gathering in the temporary palace of Zhu Jishi in Dongguan County, discussing the battle situation around a large military map, Han Si pouted a little depressedly and muttered, in his opinion, Monk Greenqin did play a good game and blocked the Jishi army dozens of miles outside Guangzhou.

"Aren't we also growing stronger day by day? These days, Dongguan and Bao'an counties have been completely in our hands, and three or four thousand recruits have been recruited. ”

Su Yuniang had just led the troops to defeat Dapeng Town and Nanao Town, which were the strongholds of the Guangdong Navy Division, and Lord Ryne was born in Dapeng Town. These two towns are on the Dapeng Peninsula, and the Dapeng Bay is on the side, and the terrain is relatively dangerous. However, the Qing army's sailors who were guarding there had no fighting spirit, and they quickly collapsed under the onslaught of Su Yuniang's overseers. It didn't take much effort. Other than that. Luo Junqi also led a battalion to exterminate the landlords' armed forces guarding Wutong Mountain. Killed a few gentry who didn't open their eyes. In the two counties of Dongguan and Bao'an, it can now be said that there is no armed existence to resist the Ming Dynasty. As for the actual human heart, no one can figure it out through the belly.

"Twenty-four thousand against forty-thousand...... We have at least an eighty percent chance of winning, king, I think we can fight! As long as the 40,000-strong army of Seng Lingqin is smashed in one fell swoop, Guangdong will be a big tomorrow! ”

These days, Han Si's Overseer Army confronted Seng Lingqin south of the Dongjiang River, and although there was no major fighting between the two armies, there were still some small-scale contact battles. Basically, it was the Jishi Army who won. So Han Si is now full of confidence and feels that he can fight a decisive battle.

"If Monk Greenqin is willing to leave the camp and fight with us, it will naturally be defeated, but it will not be easy to deal with the stubborn defense of the village, if you want to fight hard, the casualties will definitely not be small, it is better to wait a little longer."

Zhu Jishi seemed to be still hesitating, as if he was unwilling to have a tough battle with Monk Greenqin. Now that he has received the news that Hong Xiuquan is raising the flag in Bauhinia Mountain, no matter how poor his historical knowledge is, he also knows what happened to Hong Xiuquan and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom? As long as this Hong sect leader waives his army north, whether it is to conquer Changsha or Wuchang. It was certainly impossible for the 40,000-strong army of Seng Lingqin to lie still on the north bank of the Dongjiang River. As long as the army of Seng Lingqin leaves the hard village, the Ming army can easily defeat them. However, he did not mention this idea to others. Because no one, including Zuo Zongtang, took Hong Xiuquan, a god who pretended to be a ghost, too seriously.

"It's better to have a hard village against a hard village, send a brigade to cross the river from the upper reaches of the Qing army, set up a small village ten miles away from the Qing army's big village, and then build a pontoon bridge to communicate the north and south, maybe you can lead the Qing soldiers out to attack this small village."

Zuo Zongtang poked the map with his finger and put forward a suggestion that seemed to him to be the safest.

"It's fine." Zhu Jishi thought for a while, raised his eyes to look at the three generals under his command, Zuihou set his eyes on Han Si, "Break the army, I'm afraid this is a tough battle, you can fight." ”

"Okay!" Han Si patted his chest, "It's wrapped around the last general." ”

"Report!"

Ren Yijiang, who served as the deputy chief of staff of the First Army of the Jishi Army, came in from outside at this time and gave Zhu Jishi a salute: "I just got in touch with Zheng Hou on Baiyun Mountain, he still has no less than 4,000 people in his hands, and his morale is high, so he can fight!" ”

"Now the Qing army has relieved the siege of Baiyun Mountain?" Zuo Zongtang asked.

"It's been solved." Ren Yijiang replied.

"The main force of the Qing army in Guangdong has been brought to the north bank of the Dongjiang River by Seng Lingqin, and only Ye Mingchen's Fubiao and Sai Shang'a's Governor have been left in Guangzhou City, about 8,000 people, it is impossible to surround Baiyun Mountain, and can only barely defend Guangzhou City."

"You can let the Marquis of Yanping oversee go down the mountain, sweep the prefectures and counties north of Guangzhou City, and launch an uprising of the Heaven and Earth Society along the way, so that Monk Greenqin may leave the village and fight a decisive battle with me." Zuo Zongtang pondered for a moment, and said, "However, the Marquis of Yanping must strictly restrain the rebel army, and not plunder the gentry and merchants." ”

Zhu Jishi nodded and said to Ren Yijiang: "Just follow the instructions of the military advisor to pass the order." ”

……

"Brother Disheng, you're too worried. Zhu Rebell's army has been blocked by the monk in the south of the Dongjiang River, and the monk has several times the army, even if he can't win, he can always suppress the thief army and dare not move. This Zhu is no more than two counties, no matter how much he tosses, he can't defeat the Qing Dynasty, which has the world, as long as it drags on for a while, the army mobilized by the imperial court will gather in Guangdong, and he is afraid that he will not be able to win? As for the thieves on Baiyun Mountain and Bauhinia Mountain in Guangxi, they are just a rabble and cannot achieve anything serious. ”

In the signing room of the Yamen of the Governor of Liangguang, Bai Siwenzheng, who remained in the military affairs of Zanxiang in Guangzhou, comforted Zeng Guofan, who was recommended by Lin Zexu to Saishan's curtain. And Sai Shanga has no place to arrange this Zeng Guofan, who was born as a Hanlin bachelor, is fighting a war at the moment, not making a fuss, can a Hanlin bachelor be useful? However, Saishan's personality is not bad, and he did not fall too far into the well, but asked Zeng Guofan to also put on the name of Praise Xiang military affairs, so that he could share some credit and be reinstated as soon as possible. However, this Zeng scholar had a little bit of the emperor's intention that he was not in a hurry to be a eunuch, and he just shook his head and sighed when he looked at the military reports sent from all sides.

"It's hard to say, it's hard to say." Zeng Guofan waved his hand, and the worry on his face became a little stronger, "This Zhu Rebellious soldier destroyed the promotion of the Guangdong Navy Division in only a few hours on Lantau Island, how can this kind of combat power be underestimated?" Now Zhu Yidun's troops south of the Dongjiang River are only afraid that they are not blocked by the monk king, but are carefully combing the territory! I heard that there are hundreds of gentry in Dongguan and Bao'an counties, which is not a good sign! This Qing Dynasty is supported by the Manchu and Han families, and Zhu Wei is directly shoveling the foundation of the Qing Dynasty! ”

The so-called Manchu family is just a deceitful painting, and no Manchu or Han will believe it. However, it is true that the Manchus and Han scholars have joined forces to scrape the oil and water of ordinary Han people, and this is the foundation of the Qing Dynasty! The previous Han uprisings had failed under the joint suppression of the gentry and the Manchu court, but this time, the Han gentry was clearly divided! Some of them took refuge on Zhu Jishi's side and went to share the world with the Ming Dynasty. Some of them, although not publicly surrendered, tended to be neutral because of the Manchu court's indifferent attitude towards Han scholars. Only a small part remained firmly on the side of the Manchus.

Therefore, the foundation for supporting the Manchu Dynasty is extremely weak, but the enemy of Zhu Jishi is stronger than any previous Han rebellion! It can even be compared with Wu Sangui at the time of the rebellion of the three feudatories!

"As for the two bandits on Bauhinia Mountain and Baiyun Mountain...... I'm afraid it's not a rabble! The Sanyuanli people on Baiyun Mountain have defeated Yingyi in the twenty-first year of Daoguang! This time, he fought with more than 20,000 people in the Eight Banners Green Camp in Guangdong for more than a few months without falling behind, how can it be said that it is a rabble? The one on Bauhinia Mountain that worships God sounds a bit like the White Lotus Sect. Although such bandits will not be able to become an atmosphere after all, superstitious cultists are often not afraid of death! The officers and soldiers will not be able to win even if they are idle. And how many soldiers can be fought in Guangxi now? It's just that more than 10,000 people are raised and raised, and it is impossible for all of them to be sent to Bauhinia Mountain to suppress bandits, if this bandit becomes bigger, it is very likely to cause disaster to Hunan! If Hunan is in chaos, the situation between Guangxi and Guangxi will not be erosive? ”

The more Zeng Guofan spoke, the more ugly his face became, and Zuihou slapped the table and stood up, looking at Bai Siwen with a blazing purpose. "Brother Enming, why don't we go together and suggest to the competition station, let him deploy troops as soon as possible to block Shaozhou, Yongzhou, and Chenzhou, and definitely limit the chaos to the two Guangxi places!"
