Chapter 706: The Battle of the Yangtze River: The sky has fallen
[703 is wrong, Shi Liha and Nalan Zhandai are reversed, ZC5 shall prevail. γ
If it weren't for Yang Kun who rushed to cover with the Han military camp, this 10,000-man military camp would really be like 10,000 ducks, and all of them would be explained here.
The Sixth Division was still unsatisfied, and was ready to fight with the Han military camp, but the Han military camp was already scarred, and how could it have the courage to fight again, so it only wanted to contain the Sixth Division, allow the full military camp to pack up the team, and retreat north in a hurry.
Pei Mingji also didn't want the Sixth Division to rush through the artillery array of the Qing Army, so he hurriedly collected the troops, and the Sixth Division caught more than 1,000 prisoners, and counted more than 1,000 corpses on the battlefield.
In the big tent, Shi Liha knelt down and cried and begged Xibao: "Dashuai, you can't fight!" The barracks are about to collapse! The brothers in the battalion said everything, and some even clamored to find a theory for the commander. Has the marshal forgotten that the preservation of the Manchurian barracks is the foundation? β
After entering Jiangxi for so long, the Manchurian military camp either watched the hot lot, or beat the side drums, and the battle just now was unprecedented, and the result was that three people were lost. Xibao felt that the performance of the Manchu military camp was really unbearable, thinking that the Manchu military camp would attack the city and the Han military camp would go to battle, so shocked that Shi Liha ignored the dignity and humility of the upper and lower levels, and was almost blackmailing Xibao. He can't be coerced, his subordinates are already threatening him.
Xibao gasped and woke up like a dream, yes, the Xishan camp is a layer of skin wrapped in two cores, and the Manchu military camp is to decorate the faΓ§ade of the Manchu and Han families, and at the same time monitor the Han military camp, and it is the Han military camp that is really used to fight......
Thinking of the Manchu army camp retreating north, how could it break through Chen Tingzhi's defense in the Xiajiang River, although the other side also had 20,000 people, most of them were volunteers. Xibao suddenly felt that he listened to Zhang Chaowu's suggestion and fought with Nanban here, it seemed to be wrong, Zhang Chaowu, a Han man, did he have another plan?
Regardless of the fact that he had just fled back in embarrassment, as well as the cover of the Han military camp, Shi Liha said angrily: "The Han military camp fought a small county town, and it has not been down for two months, and now it is looking for excuses to shirk in every possible way, and I don't want to fight to the death again." Do you want to kill all of us, so that they feel fair, and they are willing to fight against the water? β
The defeat of the Manchu military camp, which was originally regarded as a trump card, came from all sides like a mountain, suppressing Xibao's mind to death, and then being provoked by Shi Liha, Xibao's mentality suddenly changed from the commander of the Xishan camp to the commander of the Manchu military camp.
"Big γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» handsome? As soon as this order came out, it was difficult to guarantee that the Han military camp would not mutinyγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»"
Zhang Chaowu was summoned into the big tent to listen to the military orders of Xi Bao, and he could hardly believe his ears.
The Han military camp was divided into two, one stayed in Luling to block the attack, and the other accompanied the Manchu military camp to turn around and attack the Xiajiang River and retreat north.
At first glance, there seems to be nothing wrong with this strategy, the Xishan battalion is already based on the Han military camp as the main combat force, and at a critical juncture, sacrificing a part and preserving the main force is also the common sense of the leader.
But Xibao's arrangement not only ignores the previous war situation, but also ignores the current military morale.
There are 30,000 Han military camps, and only more than half of them can still move, all of them are exhausted, and if their hearts are dead, they can't take on heavy responsibilities at all. Xibao also wanted the Han military camp to be divided into two parts, which was to send meat to Nanban to eat.
In the hearts of the army, the officers and soldiers of the Han army camp were particularly dissatisfied with the Manchu army camp that had been being a spectator, and the defeat of the Manchu army camp today made the Han army feel even more incompetent. Although they didn't fight with the Nanban formation, they could fight in Luling for a long time, and they all had the spirit to fight bayonets face to face, which was too strong.
At this time, the Han military camp was sacrificed for the Manchu military camp, Zhang Chaowu knew very well what the consequences would be, and he had to speak out to blackmail Xibao.
"Mutiny!? Receiving the salary of the imperial court, shouldn't he be loyal to the imperial court!? Why do you always have to stare at other people and compare yourself to other people? If you really want to mutiny, what are you Zhang Chaowu doing? Do you Zhang Chaowu have a different heart!? β
Xibao was furious, Shi Liha wanted to blackmail him for the Manchu military camp, and you Zhang Chaowu led the Han people, and you actually came to blackmail, the Manchu and Han families...... The emperor's words are really misleading! β¦,
The tacit understanding between the two for many years was shattered, Zhang Chaowu was speechless, of course he had no dissent, no more words, received a military order, kowtowed and retreated. When he turned around and went out of the tent, he heard Shi Liha behind him saying: "Should those Han people open their eyes wide, do you really think that you are one family with us?" β
Xi Bao's voice came faintly: "Of course it is a family, we are the masters, the Han people are slaves, no, they are one level lower than the slaves, we still have coats."
Zhang Chaowu returned to his big tent in a daze, and not long after, Yang Kun rushed in and said angrily: "The marshal crossed the general cao and me, and directly summoned the Han military camp to manage the camp and manage the team, and admonished the military order, what is this going to do!?" β
Zhang Chaowu smiled bitterly, it's ridiculous, Xibao doesn't know what to think, on the one hand, he wants the Han military camp to fight to the death, and on the other hand, he regards the Han military camp as a potential thief and takes strict precautions. That's right, Xibao can threaten the Han military camp with military generals and even the families of soldiers, but in this case, can you still expect the Han military camp to fight to the death?
"People, even if you don't suffer from widowhood but from inequality, you also have to drive away this thought, remind everyone, don't always think about people, when they don't exist. Remember, our Han military camp was supposed to die for the emperor and the court. β
Zhang Chaowu conveyed Xibao's military order, and the remaining 18,000 officers and soldiers of the Han army camp were divided into two routes, one was led by him personally, and continued to be nailed to the north of Luling City, and the other was led by Yang Kun, who retreated north with the Manchu military camp.
Yang Kun exclaimed: "General Cao, once you turn your head, the army's heart will collapse, and then there is this Manchu and Han division, it will be unimaginable!" β
Of course, Zhang Chaowu understood that he wanted to lead the Han army to retreat north in order to pacify the Han military camp. But Yang Kun was left in Luling, Xibao was not at ease, and he was not at ease, so he had to die with a heart of death, with credible subordinates, in order to cover the Xishan camp.
"Don't forget the emperor's grace and the righteousness of the court!"
In the north of Luling City, the artillery fire was scorching, and the crowd of people in red and gray rushed to the north. In the camp north of the city, the white-braided Zhang Chaowu drew his sword and shouted, leading 7,000 officers and soldiers of the Han military camp to block the attack with all his might.
Si Bao Sa girl ran away! Pei Mingji said badly, this guy finally saw the reality clearly, and he couldn't drag the army north from Nanchang.
It stands to reason that when Tian Wenjing retreats north, the Xishan camp should run away. But in Jiangxi, the Xishan battalion has a strong army, 60,000 horses, and can advance and retreat freely. Xibao and Zhang Chaowu always felt that the general trend was still promising, so they abandoned the overall situation and still buried themselves in attacking Luling, at least they could get a stable way back. At that time, what was still rolling in their minds was "The Xishan camp cannot be defeated, otherwise the emperor will be unbearable."
But the situation has deteriorated all the way, not only is Jiangnan in the north chaotic, but Shandong Zhili has also been outbandits, and Yongzheng has been stabbed with a scandal of begging and eighteen articles. Of course, the core is that the full military camp cannot die.
At this time, Xibao didn't care whether the back road was stable, as long as the Manchurian military camp could be brought out of Jiangxi without hindrance, it would be a brilliant victory, and for Yongzheng, it would be the bottom line of capital protection.
For Pei Mingji, Chen Tingzhi and Gui Zhen, danger and opportunity came at the same time.
The danger is that they only have three red-clothed divisions that have been seriously damaged, and the remaining five volunteer divisions are not strong enough, if the Xishan battalion goes crazy, it is really possible that they will break through the gorge and retreat north, and the battle situation in Nanchang will also be affected at that time.
The opportunity is also obvious, the morale of the Manchu army camp is low, and the Han army camp is already tired, and it is possible to rely on the 30,000 or 40,000 people in his hands to eat all the Xishan camp.
However, the start was not smooth, Zhang Chaowu, who was blocking the north of Luling City, was partly tenacious, so angry that Gui Zhen scolded his mother, "Lao Tzu was originally a banner man, and he was not so desperate for the Manchurians, you are a Han man, which door is loyal!" β
Pei Mingji had no choice but to attack Zhang Chaowu on the one hand, and on the other hand, he sent troops to rush to the Xiajiang River lightly to reinforce Chen Tingzhi, and his strength was the key.
Chen Tingzhi was very leisurely, and the defense line was not stormed. The 20,000 Manchurian military camp led by Nalan Zhandai rushed the defense line several times, lost hundreds of corpses and stopped moving, and Chen Tingzhi even had spare time to fish by the Gan River for fun. β¦,
The south of the gorge is crossed by the same river, and the voices of the people are boiling, shouting and shouting. The 20,000 horses of the Xishan battalion that had retreated from Luling were crowded here, in chaos.
The ferry is less particular about who comes first and who comes last, and the chaos is here.
Not only were all the officers and men of the Han battalion pushed aside, but the ferries carrying the wounded were intercepted by the Manchu barracks. At this time, the officers and men of the Manchu military camp had already danced wildly because of the sound of "retreating north", not to mention kicking the people of the Han military camp off the boat, and those wounded who could not walk were thrown directly into the river, and the bloodshot water splashed like knives on the riverside, and a knife cut the hearts of the officers and men of the Han military camp.
Some officers and soldiers of the Han army camp could not bear it anymore, and clashed with the Manchu army camp, from fists to knives, and when the gunshots rang out, the scene was even more chaotic. However, the crowd gradually separated into two distinct groups, the Han military camp with gray and blue coats on one side, and the Manchu military camp with brown and yellow coats on the other.
"Dashuai, only deal with the people in the Han military camp, I'm afraid that it will cause chaos!"
Without saying a word, Shi Liha arrested dozens of officers and soldiers of the Han military camp, and Xibao urgently ordered these people to be executed by the river to deter the Han military camp. Yang Kun shouted sadly, not only to intercede for the Han military camp, but also to save the entire Xishan camp. He couldn't figure it out, wasn't this clearly trying to force the anti-Han military camp? Are these Manchurians like Xibao and Shiliha crazy?
It's a pity that at this time, even Zhang Chaowu's words have no weight, let alone Yang Kun under Zhang Chaowu.
Xibao Qiqi said with smoke and said: "Your Han military camp does not think about the kindness of the court, and you will not die to fight and break the thief, so you will have today's defeat." Now the officers and soldiers still dare to be so domineering and chaotic? It's already a mess! β
Yang Kun suddenly realized that Xibao was not crazy, he, like Shi Liha and other Manchurians, had always been a thief in the Han military camp. Even when the Han military camp rushed to the front and fought bloodily for this imperial court, they also regarded the Han military camp as a thief, at least a potential thief. And now that the Han military camp is showing grievances, their first reaction is, of course, to kill their heads and deter. For them, the Han Chinese have never been credible......
Shi Liha roared again: "How did Zhao Junliang fall? Did he throw himself in? Is there a Southern Barbarian spy hidden in the Han military camp, taking advantage of the chaos to bewitch the army? It's only a few dozen people who have been killed, and I think it takes hundreds of people to deter the young people in the Han military camp! β
Yang Kun suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, his mind changed suddenly, he changed his frightened face, kowtowed and confessed, and finally got out of the big tent of Xibao.
"Do it!"
Sibao and Shiliha are not fools, they are well aware that the situation is not good - and they have their own coping. Shi Liha gathered people and horses, and he had to take people one by one, arrest the generals in charge of the Han military camp, and replace them with the Han army bannermen in the full military camp, in their opinion, so that they could temporarily control the Han military camp.
"Do it!"
After Yang Kun got out, he thought left and right, and felt that he was desperate. The arrest of his colleague Zhao Junliang has become an indelible stain on the Han military camp, and just now in the big tent of Xibao, Xibao and Shi Liha clearly have the intention of taking them. When his subordinates rushed to him, surrounded him with grief and indignation, begging him to uphold justice and seek a way out for the Han military camp, Yang Kun made the only choice he could make.
On June 30, Jiangxi crossed the river with Jiangxi, and there was infighting in Xishan Daying. Xi Bao and Shi Liha were not slow to start, but the Han military camp, which had been oppressed to the limit, suddenly broke out, and hundreds of Manchu soldiers and soldiers who entered the Han military camp to capture the generals were killed on the spot.
After the Han military camp attacked the Manchu military camp, if it wasn't for Xibao's early order, the ammunition of the Han military camp was under the control of the Manchu military camp, and Nalan Zhandai in the north sent thousands of Manchu military camps to respond, Yang Kun and most of the officers and soldiers of the Han military camp were only for self-protection, and did not think about the southern Yinghua, the fighting spirit was not strong, the organization was not secret, and the 7,000 people in the Manchu military camp, together with Xibao and Shi Liha himself, all had to be explained in Tongjiangdu.
After some turmoil, when Xibao, Shi Liha and Nalan Zhandai met, there were only more than 20,000 left in the Manchu military camp, and all of them were depressed and mournful. β¦,
"Zhang Chaowu in the south will definitely not be able to withstand it, and the road from the Ganjiang River to the north is difficult to walk, so let's go north on the first line of Raozhou, Fuzhou."
Nalan Zhandai had long lost the spirit to fight, and suggested to Xibao.
Xibao and Shi Liha were shocked and went to Raozhou, Fuzhou!? The mountains are stacked, the roads are rugged, and you can't bring the artillery baggage, it's not a retreat, it's a desperate escape! Although the boundary between these two prefectures was under the rule of Tian Wenjing, he was loyal to the imperial court. In order to guard Nanchang, Ketian Wenjing has transferred most of the soldiers and looted most of the money and grain. At the same time, the direction of Jianchang overlooks this route, and the Nanban wants to go straight from Jianchang, and only rely on the volunteers to attack the city and plunder the land, and at the same time cut off their way back.
Nalan Zhandai had a trace of doubt on his face, "Someone came from the north before, saying that there was someone answering this road, and that person still asked about the origin under the army's bidding, but the person said that he only said it clearly after seeing the marshal......"
Someone from the north? Still so mysterious?
Xibao frowned, but then raised his eyebrows, it has reached this juncture, whether he is a god or a ghost, as long as he can bring the Manchu military camp out of Jiangxi, he Xibao will be worshiped for a lifetime.
The Han military camp fought in the Tongjiangdu and Manchu military camps......
The Manchu military camp collapsed in the Xiajiang River, and Xibao and others were nowhere to be found... γ»γ»γ»
When the news came, Zhang Chaowu fell into an endless stupor, and his mouth kept reading, "It's my fault, it's my disloyalty, it's our Han people who are disloyal, I am ashamed of the emperor and the court", even if the red clothes broke through the camp, he didn't realize it.
Redcoat. The soldiers shouted at Zhang Chaowu's big tent: "Zhang Chaowu, just tie your hands and capture it!" It's not the first time anyway! β
After a while, they were answered by a dull gunshot.
In the Rehe Palace in Chengde, the Gubeikou Admiral Labudun only entered the palace to ask for peace after arranging the perimeter of the palace, which was his special treatment. Yongzheng asked him to report back to the defense in front of the emperor every day.
After entering the palace, he saw a circle of soldiers with the word "Zhiyong" written on their coats, and he pouted in disgust, which was Li Wei's Zhili Governor. Yongzheng favored Li Wei, to the point of no return, this patrol outside the plug, not only did Li Wei accompany him, but also asked him to bring a thousand governors to serve as palace guards.
Han...... Is it really credible?
Labdun shook his head secretly, and when he went into the depths, the guards had been replaced by Lang Wei, and his heart was only slightly better, and the emperor still had to rely on the Manchurian people to guard his side.
Seeing that a thirty or forty-year-old first-rank officer was admonishing the guards, it was the new Minister of the Guard, Labudun hurriedly saluted, and he had to report to the relatives.
Neqin waved his hand and said: "Let's go in, Mo Duohua, the emperor's body is a little γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»."
Entering the inner hall again, Labudun saw Fu Qing of the Fucha clan again, he was a guard in the inner hall, Labudun secretly said in his heart, the emperor patrolled the hunt, and even pulled out a lot of Manchu relatives and nobles in one breath, and they were used on the guards around him, which can be regarded as a kind of appeasement.
Fu Qing stopped Labdun, "Junmen, wait a minute, the emperor is reading the Tang newspaper in the south." β
Labdun was about to chat with Fu Qing for a few words, when he heard a few pops, clangs, and bangs in the inner hall, followed by the sharp and high voice of Wang Yicheng, the chief eunuch beside Yongzheng, as if the heavens and the earth had collapsed.
"The Emperor-Emperor-! Someone's coming! Pass on the Imperial Doctor! "Min
