Chapter 501: Emperor Liu, who is rich and rich
"Your Majesty, Shanxi Datong Station is calling!"
In the city of Tongzhou, Liu Xian received a letter from Datong, Shanxi. Unfolded it, a smile piled up on his face, "Wu Liqun did a good job!" "The twenty-three horses inside and outside the Great Wall have been gathered together, and there are no notorious people who should be killed. Even if the heads of the various departments are gathered and cannot be called 'doing the right thing for heaven', no one kills innocents indiscriminately! This standard will do.
Twenty-three people, coupled with the self-management of Datong Station, can gather a horse team of more than 3,000 riders. If it broke out suddenly, it would definitely cause great trouble to the Manchus who came to the west.
Now, as far as Liu Xian knows, the brigade of the Eight Banners has arrived in Xuanhua. Then the soldiers were divided into two routes, with 30,000 troops escorting the Manchu royal family and most of the Eight Banner princes and nobles to Zhangjiakou, while more than 600,000 Eight Banner people were under the protection of 10,000 troops, and went to Xining [now Yangyuan], and went straight to Datong Mansion in Shanxi.
The Manchu Qing Dynasty stationed heavy troops in Datong, and the general soldier Shengtai was a Mongolian Zhenghuang Banner person, and the total number of troops under his command was as high as 15,000 people during the peak period of Datong Town. Now there are eleven battalions with 6,000 men. The soldiers were mostly armed with breech guns, and the artillery was armed with twenty-four guns, of which 54 guns were sixteen guns, and seven five guns were eight!
Although more than ninety percent of the soldiers of this Qing army are Han Chinese, and their will to fight is quite suspicious, they are basically there. If the 50,000 Qing troops arrived in Datong and the general situation was overwhelming, these 6,000 people would definitely be tied to the rotten ship of the Qing army. It's not that they can play a bad role, but they want to add strength to the Qing army.
"More than 3,000 horses, if it is a slam attack on Xining......" Liu Xian's eyes flashed. It's a pity. Wireless telegraphy is still far away. This makes Liu Xian's 'talent' too restricted.
"Forget it!"
Half-ringing, Liu Xian shook his head. I've been lucky to be home. Don't do anything about Longwangshu. "Bring the envoys of North Korea with you. I want to see them. ”
It has been many days since Min Qianhao, Kim Hongji and others arrived in Tianjin. Liu Xian hung them out, and also gave them time to take a look at the might of the Qin army.
……
Datong. Yang height.
The highest official of the Qin army in Datong, Wu Liqun, the head of the Datong Station of the Military Intelligence Department. At this time, he was dressed in the uniform of a lieutenant colonel of the Qin Army, with a very different temperament, and stood in front of the door of the conference hall of the Datong Volunteer Army. He is Wu Jinzhu's nephew.
One person attained the Tao and the chicken dog ascended to heaven. This sentence has never been a lie in China, especially the behemoth of the Military Intelligence Department, which has developed little by little from a small intelligence point.
In the process of its development, I don't know how many Qin army disciples like Wu Liqun were scattered all over the country. Some of these people have failed, some cannot open the situation, and some have succeeded and opened the situation.
The name of the loser has been forgotten. It is always the name of the victor that is remembered. Wang Qing, Wu Liqun, Du Degui and others are all like this.
The headquarters of the Volunteers is in the courtyard of a landlord's house in Fengnian Mountain, west of Yang High School, and now that the landlord has been eliminated, this house is also the headquarters of the Volunteers. The conference hall is the original main hall of the landlord's house.
The red flag is flying. Against the backdrop of the leaders of all walks of life who wear different styles and are good at local characters anyway, Wu Liqun, who is dressed in a neat military uniform, looks like a crowd of chickens.
And the leaders of the various horsetails saw that the military temperament was undoubtedly revealed, which was very different from the smiling and friendly Wu Liqun Wu Da Shopkeeper they had seen in the past, and then saw the team of guards wearing Qin Army uniforms behind Wu Liqun, everyone was also shocked at the same time.
This is the deterrence of officials against bandits, and this is the coercion of officials against the people!
As Wu Liqun walked into the conference hall. Everyone bowed and saluted, and there was a sound of 'jingle clanging' waist knives colliding. This is all the people Wu Liqun has gathered over the years.
They are not Great Qin's soldiers at the moment. Datong Station also has no ability to prepare Qin army uniforms for everyone. But their group of leaders can be treated specially, and they will receive their own complaints in the conference hall today, as well as their officer uniforms!
An hour later. All the people came together again, and the colors had changed. A series of military greens, they come from a rabble. Turned into a military force. Although those officers are still not sitting, standing and not standing. Wu Liqun was only trained intensively for a while before setting off. At the moment, military skills may be limited to those who can stand in a military posture, and they are more like soldiers than they are. More lined with military uniforms. But those horsetail leaders don't think so, after beating Jin'er, they will be officials, and they will be people from the court of the new dynasty. This dress is the 'court dress'! This group of officials who are from poor families and work in horse bandits really like to die in this army green uniform, and they really can't wait to wear it when they sleep.
Because according to Chinese tradition, they have all come out of the woods, and they have become officials, that is, they are glorious ancestors, and they have become the lintel of the Guangmen.
However, the biggest difference between the Volunteer Army and the Qin Army is the establishment and structure.
The volunteer army in Jizhou, Fang Dayou has a strong ability to control, and he can organize a brigade according to the formation of the Qin army. Here, Wu Liqun's control over the inferior departments is weak, so the departments remain the same. Only four people with prestige and high names were selected from among them, and a second-level command unit below him was established. But only to loose 'command'! Wu Liqun himself relied on the strength of Datong Station and the three horses with the best attitude, forming his own direct force.
And then use this to urge the action of the remaining twenty strands!
……
Chengdu, Sichuan Governor Yamen.
Wu Tang, the governor of Sichuan, and Kui Yu, the general of Chengdu, were standing side by side in front of the huge map hanging on the back wall of the study, each holding a magnifying glass to look at it carefully. This is a map of Sichuan Province.
Since Shi Da's army failed to enter Chengdu, more than ten years have passed, and Chengdu has once again fallen into the threat of soldiers. And the current Sichuan Governor Wu Tang and Chengdu General Kuiyu, compared to Luo Bingzhang and Chonghou back then, the form is much worse.
The Qin army had already swept through most of China. In this southwestern place, the Xianghuai army stationed in Chongqing hooked up with the Qin army, and in the blink of an eye, it might strike back. And the Qing Dynasty, on which Wu Tang and Kuiyu can rely on, is still so stormy.
The only thing the two can rely on now is the Sichuan Army in their hands and the Eight Banners New Army in Chengdu.
However, the Sichuan army had been defeated many times by the Qin army in Hanzhong, and the admiral Tang Yougeng had almost lost confidence. The New Army of the Eight Banners was less than 10,000 people, relying on this strength to resist Liu Zhuo's army going north, which was too mantis to be a car.
The eastern and northern parts of Yunnan and the whole province of Guizhou had been pacified by the Qin army, and the Qin army under Liu Zhuo's command plus the rebel army surrendered in Guizhou totaled more than 70,000 people. The Taiping army in southwestern Yunnan did not move at all.
Even Liu Zhuo didn't know what kind of connection Shi Dakai had with Liu Xian falling to the ground. He only knew that Liu Xian had already sent two envoys to Shi Dakai, and Shi Dakai had sent five envoys to Liu Xian.
But he did not know exactly what agreement the two armies had reached. Liu Xian also did not order him to import arms, ammunition, and grain and rice supplies to Shi Dakai.
Anyway, Liu Xian wanted him to go to Sichuan boldly with confidence, and now it was time to solve the southwest problem.
Because the war between the British in Afghanistan is going very smoothly. Hill. Ali is dead. His son Yeghub succeeded to the throne of Afghanistan and signed the Treaty of Gandamak with the British, and Afghanistan had become a British vassal state in terms of 'public international law'.
Liu Xian was very afraid that the British would take another action against Tibet and create an established fact. In that case, if Britain were to be forced to withdraw from Tibet, it would have to pay a heavy price except for war. Liu Xian didn't want to see the situation go that far. He is now going to solve the problem in Sichuan, and then form a plateau corps and send about 1,000 troops into Tibet.
As a result, Wu Tang and Kuiyu also ushered in the biggest crisis in their lives.
50,000 Qin troops rushed in, which was not at all something that the Qing army in central Sichuan could resist.
Both of them focused on the front line of Zizhou, and the names of the Qing army on the map were densely packed in Zizhou Prefecture, Mingxin Temple, Guandou Mountain, Crystal Mountain and Sujiawan on the right bank of the Tuojiang River, and reluctantly put on a defensive posture.
The reason why it is reluctant is because since the Qin army entered Sichuan, its left column has continuously occupied Xuzhou, Ziliujing, Nanxi, and Jiang'an; The right column took Huairen, Luzhou, and Fushun, and the two armies met at Longchang and advanced to Zizhou.
If this battle can't stop the Qin army from going north, I'm afraid that in the next ten days, the Qin army will be able to kill the city of Chengdu.
Wu Tang and Kuiyu both know that it is now a world of guns. In the past, the city walls that could be used as barriers and dangerous points could not stop the Qin army's cannons at all.
If things are not good, Chengdu is not enough, what will Wu Tang do and not say, Kuiyu is already ready to run away with the Chengdu flag people.
Liu Zhuo, who was stationed in Luzhou, was deliberating on the words to be sent to Liu Xian at this time.
The next battle of Zizhou will be the top priority of the battle of Sichuan. He is ready to consume Yungui, mainly the rebel army in Guizhou. Although these people have been streamlined, there are still more than 20,000 people, accounting for half of the army that went north to Sichuan this time.
Although they were all captured by the Qin army, the nature of the troops did not change significantly. The main reason is that Qin Jun has always been smiling at the rebels in Guizhou, and he doesn't want to suddenly turn into a bad face when the matter is about to end. These rebel armies have a lot of local roots and foundations, and in order to manage Guizhou as well as possible in the future, Liu Xian did not move these people for the time being.
But Liu Zhuo will not be so stupid as to think that Liu Xian will endure it all the time. I want to deal with this matter for the emperor as soon as possible, and I should also solve problems for the emperor.
Therefore, in the battle of Zizhou this time, Liu Zhuo did not really make a pre-war plan, because his 'plan' was only one - to attack violently and fight hard.
More than 20,000 people have been cleaned up!
Even if the imperial court has to pay a considerable amount of compensation for this, it has nothing to do with Great Qin.
Emperor Liu is rich! (To be continued......)
