Chapter 271: Trapped in Linqing

"Seems to be a little!" Yang Shuijiao tilted her head sideways and thought for a while, before she nodded and said, "What about the north?" ”

Wang Feng explained: "The north is first the five Hu and sixteen countries, then the rise and fall of the five generations, and then the rule of the Jin Yuan, which is the catastrophe of the nation, under the slave and dog, living is the top priority, and the culture is deeply influenced by Hu Feng, and the Hu nationality is the representative of ignorance and backwardness, the natural culture of the north is not strong, and pragmatism occupies an important position."

Specific to Lunan and northern Jiangsu, first of all, because of the frequent wars, the local people have gone to two extremes, one is the association of self-preservation, the people are fierce, this is an important reason why the twist can make trouble, on the other hand, the Taiping Army, since Jintian came out to Hunan, to say a difficult word, always bumped and bumped, no way, the south is relatively stable, the local concept is stronger, it is not easy to mobilize, if it is not for Yang Xiuqing to immediately decide to go east to Nanjing, I am afraid that it will be consumed alive in a few years.

The other type is groveling, cautious, tenant farmers in northern Jiangsu see the landlord, how far away they have to nod their heads, smile and ask me a certain master, you must take me, do not take me on the spot is a beating, and in southern Jiangsu, such a situation rarely happens, but this has a certain relationship with the developed economy of southern Jiangsu, and you can also enter the city as a hired worker without farming.

In addition, southern and northern Jiangsu are located in the middle of the two major cultural belts of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, and the two sides do not rely on each other, and there is no close contact with the north and south, forming a unique cultural ecology, which is also the fundamental reason why you feel out of place. ”

; "Oh!" Lu Dayou suddenly realized: "I still have to thank the commander-in-chief for explaining, I understand, it seems that the southern culture has to be introduced into northern Jiangsu!" ”

"Eh~~" Wang Feng waved his hand: "One side of the water and soil raises one side of the people." Each place has its own cultural identity, and we don't have to do thankless work. In the final analysis, it is a poor word. What culture can you talk about if you don't have enough to eat? When you are rich, there will naturally be cultural needs, and the government only needs to promote economic exchanges between people in the south and north of the Yangtze River. ”

At the same time as saying this, Wang Feng's thinking returned to the Yangtze River, the Yangtze River is mighty, which not only protects the unique cultural ecology of the south of the Yangtze River, but also is the biggest culprit blocking the north-south exchanges. Even the location is easy to solve, the key is technical talents, Wang Feng feels that it is urgent to send students abroad, of course, Britain and France are likely to be troubled due to political factors, Wang Feng's preferred destination is the United States.

After a night of wind and snow, which did not stop until dawn, the soldiers were exhausted, but the ground was still muddy. I couldn't rest, so I had to have breakfast and continue my journey north, until the afternoon of the day, when the ground under my feet was relatively dry. So Wang Feng ordered to rest, and Yang Shuijiao couldn't even take care of dinner, so she hurriedly took off her boots. Sink into a sleeping bag and fall asleep.

On 20 February, the Democratic Alliance troops rushed to the Zhangqiu ferry where Su Sanniang had crossed. Immediately distribute the men and horses to collect the boats, while waiting. came the news that Su Sanniang lost mobility due to the capture of Linqing, occupied the city, and was besieged by the Qing army's Shengbao Department, which made Wang Feng anxious, but helpless.

On 23 February, when the boats were finally collected, Wang Feng immediately ordered the river to be crossed, and all of them were crossed in the early morning of the next day, and the distance from the Zhangqiu ferry to Linqing was about 400 li, and the whole army rushed forward, and by the 26th, there were still 150 li from Linqing

At the beginning, Su Sanniang conquered Linqing, due to the limited troops, so that the Qing army burned all the grain and grass equipment before breaking through, and got an empty city, when he was ready to withdraw after a night's rest, he was besieged by more than 20,000 people from the Shengbao Department who came in time, and he could not move, so he could only stay in the lonely city.

In the past few days, the Qing army has attacked day by day, and just now, it has repelled the attack of the Qing army, and the wreckage of siege equipment and the corpses of the Qing army are all over the area of a hundred zhang under the city, but Su Sanniang did not have any joy, but her face was full of worry.

On the one hand, there are no supplies in the city, and it is about to fall into a desperate situation of running out of ammunition and food, and its own side is also suffering heavy losses, more than 6,000 people have been reduced to a strict number, and there are only 4,000 people left who have combat effectiveness.

On the other hand, according to the information obtained before being trapped, Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang in Jinghai and Duliu area, although they endured hunger and cold, and resisted the continuous siege of tens of thousands of Qing troops and regimental training of the Seng Lingqin Department with the help of temporary fortifications, they finally broke through the siege and left south on February 5 because they had been besieged for a long time, food and ammunition were urgent, and there was no news of reinforcements.

"Huh!" Su Sanniang stomped on the city heavily, and said with remorse: "This time I came north, not only could I not save the two generals Lin and Li, but also harmed everyone, and they all complained that I was bent on going my own way, and I, Su Sanniang, am sorry for all my brothers and sisters." ”

In the old department of the Heaven and Earth Society, Su Sanniang's clan brother Feng Yuanming arched his hand: "Deputy Chief, this matter is no wonder to you, the subordinates thought about it, it should be that the King of the East has the intention of killing people with a knife, so he instructed you to go north to rescue, after all, we are from the Guangyi Hall of the Heaven and Earth Society, and we have always been unaccustomed to the way that those Guangxi people pretend to be gods and ghosts, and we have never been able to go down the road!" ”

"Exactly!" Tang Caifang, the female battalion commander, said hatefully: "At the beginning, the king of heaven invited you to gather in Jintian, saying that the brothers and sisters in the world are one family, and also said that they would sweep away the demons and build the kingdom of heaven together, but after defeating Nanjing, they immediately changed their faces, these people don't have a good thing!" You once talked to your subordinates, and your righteous brother persuaded you to rebel against the kingdom of heaven and re-establish the righteous deeds, you have never been able to make up your mind, you should have known that today, you should have led your brothers and sisters to leave Su Song Taichang. ”

As soon as these words came out, the guilt on Su Sanniang's face was even stronger, and she sighed: "At Zhangqiu Ferry, Wang Feng sent someone to persuade me to return to my teacher, but I was blinded by lard, and I really hate to apologize with death!" ”

"Actually, the culprit is Yang Xiuqing!" Lin Youniang, that is, the little girl who was handed over by Wang Feng to Su Sanniang to raise, picked up and said: "The one surnamed Wang is thriving in Su Song Taichang, and he killed Huang Weijiang, and he has already made it clear that he has torn his face with Yang Xiuqing, and you are the righteous sister of that person, how can Yang Xiuqing not worry about you as an internal response?" So strike first, and use the hands of the demons to get rid of you! ”

Su Sanniang turned her head to look back, when Wang Feng sent Lin Youniang here, this girl was thin and small, and she was accepted as an apprentice by herself, but now her body has grown a little longer, and her muscles and bones are much stronger, but she never smiles, and when she mentions Wang Feng, her eyes are extremely cold, obviously she hates Wang Feng, and it is useless to persuade her.

Su Sanniang shook her head and said, "Young lady? Do you still hate him? He also couldn't help himself, it was that night, he was depressed, asked me to drink, persuaded me to rebel against the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, this qiē was all due to your grandfather's tragic death in front of him, and what he did in Su Song Taichang showed that he was really thinking about the people, and he was not the same as the king of heaven. ”

Lin Youniang said lightly: "Master, don't worry, he handed me over to you to raise, and carried my grandfather's body to the foot of the Purple Mountain for burial, the old debts have all been offset, I don't hate him." ”

Having said so, but Lin Youniang's tone clearly revealed insincerity, Su Sanniang smiled bitterly: "We have fallen to the point where today's mountains and rivers are exhausted, I'm afraid that there will be no one in ten who can survive, whether you hate it or not, it is meaningless." ”

When people are dead, what is there to resent? Lin Youniang was silent, but she couldn't help but touch the dagger tied to her waist, and every female soldier in the army was equipped with one, not for anything else, just to commit suicide in time before being captured.

The fate of women falling into the hands of the Qing army is the same, first of all, the wheel of rice, and then the peeled essence is tied to the execution ground Ling Chi, and some even have to ride wooden donkeys!

"Here we go again!" At this time, Tang Caifang pointed forward violently, and his voice was full of resentment!

In the past, the Qing army attacked the city, and after being repulsed, they would not rush forward, and needed to rest for a day, but the Qing army, which had just retreated in front, actually re-lined up in formation, waved the flag, moved the artillery forward, and put on a rush to attack.

Su Sanniang took a closer look at the binoculars, and couldn't help but gasp, the Qing army had a new team of people and horses coming, from the banner, it was the leader of the Monk Greenqin, the monk Greenqin was about forty years old, attacked the king of Horqin County, appointed as the Mongolian capital of the Yellow Banner, the former minister of the Imperial Palace, and the secretary of Luan Yiwei, last year because of the Northern Expedition of the Taiping Army, supervised the patrol of the capital, and served as the counselor.

Xianfeng personally awarded the sword used by Nurhachi to Seng Lingqin and ordered him to lead the army to suppress, so Seng Lingqin was ordered to command the Jianrui Battalion, the Outer Firearms Battalion, the Two-Wing Forward Battalion, the Eight Banners Guard Battalion, the Fifth Patrol Battalion and the officers and soldiers of Chahar, and the strong brigades of the Mongol kings such as Zhelimu, Zhuo Suotu, and Zhaowuda went out of Beijing.

This army is more terrifying than Shengbao's army, Shengbao's strength is dominated by the green battalion, and the strength of Seng Lingqin is dominated by the Royal Forest Army and the Mongolian cavalry, the neat gun team, the artillery team, and the fat and strong Mongolian cavalry, all of which are shocking, this is the real elite division of the Qing Dynasty!

On the edge of Seng Lingqin, he is also a middle-aged man, this is Prince Hui Mianyu, who was appointed by Xianfeng as a general, although he is nominally the leading general, but obviously, it is Seng Greenqin who really gives orders.

"Deputy Chief, look back!" Tang Caifang exclaimed loudly again.

Su Sanniang moved the telescope back, and suddenly, her pretty face turned pale, and her delicate body couldn't help but tremble!

The rear team of the Qing army is mainly based on the Chahar green camp and local regimental training, and the team of nearly 10,000 people is guarding a large number of prisoners, all of whom are wearing heavy flails, shackles, ragged clothes in the cold wind, and walking forward with difficulty, and dozens of prisoner cars in the front, Su Sanniang can see clearly, two of them are Lin Fengxiang, and the other is Li Kaifang, who is covered in blood and sluggish.

Obviously, the Northern Expeditionary Army was completely annihilated, and the number of prisoners was about 4,000, which means that the 25,000-strong Northern Expeditionary Army was left with only so few people. (To be continued......)
