Chapter 811: The Flames of War on the Outskirts of Beijing (1)

When he left the imperial city, Yang Meng asked Ye Mingchen to inform the household department to prepare food red envelopes, and he hurriedly returned to Yang's mansion, and the war in Beitang still had to be paid attention to.

"Commander, how is the battle report from Shi Dakai's side? The Anglo-French forces didn't have the idea of attacking Tsuguchi Castle, did they? ”

Shi Dakai's Yang Meng didn't pay too much attention to it, Jinkou was the place he paid attention to, although he had arranged a defensive line twenty miles outside Jinkou City, but he also had to prevent the British and French forces from attacking the city!

"Last night, the British and French forces did not stop, marching for more than 50 miles in one go, Shi Dakai retreated one after another, and the men and horses on both sides made a little contact, but there were not many casualties!

Jinkou City, has been built into a fortress by the third master, last night, after the British and French troops tried it, they withdrew, they should have targeted the Jingshi! ”

Before the war started, there were many worries, after the war, the war in Yang Meng's signing room, it was just a piece of paper, those who should have been prepared had been prepared, and those who were not prepared could not be prepared, and now what the battle was like, Yang Meng and Xu Ziwei didn't care much, they were concerned about the result.

The people of Jinkou City have not been transferred, and the number of defenders is not much, this is Yang Mengxing's dangerous move, to defend Jinkou against hundreds of thousands of British and French troops, and it will not be possible without more than 100,000 or 200,000 people, and now the people and horses of Jinkou, in addition to the 20,000 people outside the city, are more than 10,000 people in the city, and these people and horses can also fight a battle or two.

Once the Anglo-French forces attack Jinkou, it will also be a relatively difficult thing to do, as long as the Anglo-French forces have the determination to drop 350,000 corpses, it is not too difficult to attack Jinkou, without this determination. You can only fight the Jingshi.

"Hmmm! During this time, Taechen's side should be more careful. We also have to guard against the Anglo-French alliance. The Jiangnan side is also the same as Shandong and Liaodong, not an inch of land is lost, once the British and French troops want to land in Jiangnan, no matter what the casualties are, they will die! ”

Once the state is in operation because of the war, many things are variables, and it is very unrealistic to want to bind the country in the war with a paper contract. Although the Anglo-French alliance has no intention of attacking Jiangnan now, but the heart of defense is indispensable, Yang Meng will not believe in those Rausch contracts between Europe and the United States, how to say this thing, as long as no one pursues it, the contract is a piece of waste paper.

"Know! Third master, can Shi Dakai succeed over there? ”

said that there are thousands of ways, the Beijing and Tianjin area is still the main battlefield, as long as the pace of the war can follow the general plan of the third master, then the result will be good. If there are too many deviations, it means erosion.

"Britain, France, and Russia each have their own agendas. Britain and France want to use the power of the Russian mercenaries to fight the Beijing division, and the Tsarist Russia wants to take the opportunity to attack our northeast and northwest. ”

The war involving several countries is a political game, politicians frame each other for their own goals, especially when the prey is at their fingertips, this kind of battle is particularly fierce, and now Yang Meng is not very good at judging the movements of the British and French alliances, but Britain and France want to use Tsarist Russia, and Tsarist Russia wants to use the intentions of Britain and France, he still sees it clearly.

"Third master, didn't you say that after the Crimean War, Tsarist Russia was unable to fight again? How can they still be able to offend? ”

Tsarist Russia is unable to fight again, it was Yang Sanye who said it himself, and now he has jumped out of the words that Tsarist Russia will make a mistake, which makes Xu Ziwei a little confused.

"Tsarist Russia has no ability to fight a national war, but to fight a plundering war, Tsarist Russia's ability is not small, whether it is the three eastern provinces or the northwest, it is not a barren land, and it is okay to feed an army of tens of thousands of people.

If Tsarist Russia had encouraged mercenaries to enter the Qing Dynasty, as long as they had enough ammunition, the war could begin.

Counting long, the world is changing! Once we are defeated in Beijing and Tianjin, how many forces will there be to contain the Tsarist Russians in the northeast and northwest? The 500,000 army of Devil Six, the left mule men and horses that are about to arrive in the northwest, don't we all have to transfer them back?

There is no defense force in the northwest and northeast, and Tsarist Russia has no choice but to plunder?

Reciprocal war, Tsarist Russia is indeed unable to deal with it, but plundering wars, let alone Tsarist Russia, a small country like the East Ocean is not the same as the former Ming Chicken Flying Dog Jumping?

This is the reason why Lao Tzu fires a lot of guns, once defeated, we still have to shoot! ”

In the battle of Beijing and Tianjin, although Yang Meng said that he was talking about military training, this battle of military training could not be defeated! Once defeated, the hungry wolf will not only be Britain and France, but also the bastards of Tsarist Russia, Germany, Millican, etc., who will not come to share a bite of meat?

"Third master, this situation is dangerous, we can win but not lose! If it really doesn't work, let Wei Huozi do it! ”

Suffering from gains and losses, people's common diseases, although he knew that it was useless to say this, Xu Ziwei still said it.

"It's not easy to lose! How long will it take to kill 40,000,000 people? Today, Lao Tzu is going to see the family members of the Jingshi Mintuan, but it really can't be done, and then he will gather 108,000 strong men in the Beijing Division, and this time the older ones will also have to go! ”

Condolences, it's not without purpose, Yang Meng wants to show the gentlemen in the capital, this war is dead, but it's a good errand, the family not only has a generous pension, but also the care of the court, although he wants to go in his own name, but he is also for the Qing Dynasty!

There must be a brave man under the heavy reward, two hundred taels of silver is not a small amount of money, enough for a family of seven or eight people to spend four or five years, the population of the Beijing division is hundreds of thousands, and it is not impossible to pull another group of people, it is really not possible to start on the suburbs of Beijing or Zhilu, as long as there is silver, there are many people who are willing to work hard these years!

"Master, the dragons and snakes in the capital are mixed, you ran all night last night, send some more people to protect it!"

"It's okay, a dozen eyes, just bring a donkey, the donkey has become an old dog in recent years, can't take him to the battlefield, it's a big regret in life!

Don't say it, send a telegram to ask Taichen to pay attention to the warships at sea, and Ziqi will also urge him to report the information on the sea to Shi Xianggong in real time! ”

Speaking of donkeys, Yang Meng also looked stunned, it would be great if he could take him across the battlefield, there were more conspiracy and dirty things to do, and Yang Meng was also a little looking forward to the blood of dying with the enemy on the battlefield.

"Speaking of the third master's mastiff, it is really a big artifact of the Yang family, and he recognizes everyone in the back house. Outsiders want to get close to the back house. There are no doors. His children and grandchildren, like the mastiff, recognize only their own people!

The third master is not only a good man, but this eagle dog is also a master! ”

Speaking of donkeys, Xu Ziwei couldn't help but sigh, in the past few years, the donkey has also changed from a mastiff king to an old dog, but no matter what, the donkey's loyalty to the third master of the Yang family has not changed at all! A mastiff's back house is not exposed. It's not easy!

"Humph! People in this world are not as good as dogs! Under our hands, I don't know how many bastards with two hearts are there! Now that Lao Tzu is here, he can still hold it down, what if he is gone? ”

"Third master, it's not yet thirty this year! If you live for another fifty years, you don't know how many such bastards you will have to die, and you won't be able to live longer than you live at this time! ”

That's a good point! Lao Tzu has to live well! I was sad to see the white pairs all over the street this morning! Hurry up and win! ”

Don't be afraid of the dead, that's nonsense! The corpses of Bali Bridge are piled up like a mountain, and the dead people in the two major pits of Sushun Chaos, yesterday's Beitang. In the blink of an eye, eight or nine thousand people were gone. There are some burdens that can only be pressed on the heart.

After saying a few words to Xu Ziwei's live monkey, Yang Meng's pressure was greatly reduced, and sometimes a few words can vent a lot of pressure, and when he arrived at the back house, he gave his wife and children a big red envelope, Yang Meng beckoned the donkey with a dozen jaws, and walked out of Yang's mansion.

The donkey who hasn't fought with Yang Meng for a long time is also very excited, jumping up and down along the way, Yang Meng also teased this mastiff king from time to time, maybe the first thing he killed was this loyal mastiff king, right?

When they arrived at a crowded place, the happy donkey also calmed down, followed behind Yang Meng silently, and walked along the stone road to the household department, where hundreds of errand soldiers were already waiting there in a carriage, and the Yang family's steward in Beijing was responsible for distributing those pension food and red envelopes.

"Be in good spirits! With a smile on his face, he knocked on the door to send money and food door-to-door, so that the people of Beijing knew that fighting for the country would not drag down the family! ”

There are 80,000 people in the Jingshi militia group, and Yang Meng naturally can't knock on the door to deliver money and food from door to door, and take a look in a crowded place, which can be regarded as condolences.

There are only a few stone roads in Beijing, and the circle out of the imperial city is basically dirt roads.

The snow is still scattered, but the dark clouds in the sky are getting thicker and heavier, thick and a little oppressive, this is not a good phenomenon, heavy snow, it doesn't matter to the Russian mercenaries, but it is a hindrance to Yang Meng's people, most of the people in the militia are not used to such heavy snow, just such a weather, it is enough to take away many lives.

Yang Sanye came to visit the orphans of the family members of the militia, and it spread all over the capital in a short time, and the people's knowledgeable, gentle and humble side was also revealed in the snow.

The people of Beijing know more or less about the official system, Yang Meng, the secretary of the military department and the minister of Nanyang, is a top official, whether it is the Han people, or the poor children of the banner people, Yang Meng, a product of the dynasty, is almost the same as the emperor, and it is unattainable.

When they saw Yang Sanye with a docile old dog and the official uniform covered with snowflakes, many people knelt tremblingly in the snow.

"Get up! On the first day of the Lunar New Year, what are you kneeling on? If you kneel, you have to give a red envelope, since you have already knelt, everyone has a share, give a red envelope! The big guys are lively together! ”

For those champions and Hanlin, the people are in awe, if they say that they are close to the people and are treated, they have to be coarse people like Yang Meng, although Yang Meng's voice is a little vulgar, but the words are full of heat, this rough shout, it is the people's hearts that are closer.

Yang Meng's condolence team, more and more people are leaving, and the most popular is someone in the family who died in battle, for these people, Yang Meng will also ask about the difficulties, and try to solve the problem, and the condolences have also become a show for Yang Meng's on-site office.

These things, at this time, are not useless, with such a time, once the British and French forces hit the Beijing Division, Yang Meng raised his arms and shouted, there will always be some people who stand up.

Not only the people of the Han people, but also the children of the banner people, are very convinced of Yang Sanye, who is the master of Gongwei Jingshi, and many of the children of the banner people are clamoring to join the army, and Yang Meng also nodded and agreed without hesitation.

Whether it is the Han people, or the children of the banner people, they are all the same people, they are rich and poor, some of the thorns of the children of the Eight Banners have been slaughtered by Su Shun, and the most in the Beijing division is now the poor households of the Eight Banners, these people are no different from the ordinary Han people, they are all begging for food at the bottom!

Scattering money and sending food, Yang Meng alone changed the depression of the Jingshi, the people are most afraid of despair, once there is hope, their dark faces, will also be vigorous, for a good day, they are more looking forward to the good days than Yang Meng.

The snow is getting heavier and heavier, but the weather in Jingshi is getting better and better, when Yang Meng walked towards the imperial city, there were bursts of firecrackers behind him, and this sound together means that Jingshi is alive again.

"It's just that this world is too bad, if you don't have this world, it's a good enjoyment to live in this season!" (To be continued......)
