Chapter 742: Jingshi's Tug of War (1)

The deal between Yang Meng and An Dehai was interrupted by the panting Peng Yunzhang, but the general deal has been decided, and in terms of his current power, An Dehai does not dare to cheat with him.

"Ministry, it's not good! Bali Bridge has been engaged with the British and French forces since this morning, and by noon, more than 10,000 people and horses have been damaged! ”

How many soldiers and horses did Yang Laosan bring with him? There are no 10,000 in a day and a half, calculate the number, these horses brought by Yang Laosan are enough to fight for two and a half days, and they are not as good as Sushun's people and horses!

"More than 10,000 dead and wounded? Which battle report was sent? ”

"A general called Wei Camel!"

"Oh...... And how many casualties were the Anglo-French forces? ”

"The battle report said that it was seven or eight thousand, and more than 6,000 corpses of the British and French allied troops were collected, and the first level estimated that it would be able to solve the Beijing division at night."

"Not so good! 10,000 for 8,000 is worth it! ”

As Yang Laosan's scribe, Peng Yunzhang has no choice, but Yang Laosan is still silent after more than 10,000 deaths, and Peng Yunzhang doesn't know what medicine he sells in his gourd.

"Father-in-law An, go and ask Your Majesty to get up! Sue him for the victory of Bali Bridge! ”

"Whoa......

As soon as An Dehai heard that it was good news, after beating Gong, Malier's ran into the Sui'an room.

"Ministry, we have more than 10,000 dead and wounded!"

Peng Yunzhang saw that Yang Laosan was still there, and couldn't help but get anxious, there were less than 60,000 soldiers in total, and more than 10,000 died in a day, is it worth it? Worth the fart?

"Peng Zhongtang, Ci is not in charge of the soldiers! More than 10,000 for 8,000, it's worth it! After this battle, the Anglo-French army had to stop for two days, and his army of 50,000 or 60,000 was quite a lot, and 8,000 died in one day. They are the ones who can't afford to die!

After a few days, the militia group of Zhilu will be formed. We are not afraid of dying 350,000 a day! ”

Peng Yunzhang knew Yang Laosan's ability today. More than 10,000 people died, but he didn't even frown, but still smiled, I'm afraid this is the rest of the generals in the imperial court, not as good as Yang Laosan, right? That's ruthlessness!

"What do you say when the emperor comes?"

"Simple! only talked about the gains, not the battle losses, and let the emperor order to calm the people, the military department, and set up a recruitment point in the Beijing division. Gather the brave men of the Beijing Division, form the Beijing Division Militia Group, if the battle situation at Bali Bridge changes, let this group of men and horses gallop to help, and the elite of the militia will always be left to the Beijing Division.

Peng Zhongtang, this is also a national war, don't be afraid of the dead, all we have to do is to ensure the money, food and materials on the front line, and relax, the British and French forces are not afraid of the expedition. Are we afraid of a fart? ”

"The department's insights are unique!"

I don't know when Peng Yunzhang, who is a little older. actually took Yang Laosan as the main thing, listening to Yang Laosan's words, Peng Yunzhang's heart was stable.

"Third Brother Yang, Master Peng, I heard of the victory of Bali Bridge?"

The four-colored stick that slept upside down came out of the suitory in disheveled, and although the clothes were untidy, the complexion on his face was still remarkable.

"Hmmm! Kill 8,000 enemies, kill more than 6,000 enemy heads, and at night, your majesty will be able to see the golden foreign head.

After this battle, there was a lot of damage on the front line of Bali Bridge, and the number of people was a little stretched, His Majesty could make a will to calm the people, to stabilize the hearts of the people of Beijing, and second, to recruit the brave men of the Beijing Division, to go to Bali Bridge to help defend! ”

As soon as he heard Yang Laosan's statement, Peng Yunzhang directly accepted it, there is no loophole in what he said! Not only can you inspire the spirit of the emperor, but you can also do it with the courage of the emperor!

"Good! Third Brother Yang is worthy of being a general of the Pillar Kingdom, he succeeded in the first battle, and I rewarded the generals on the front line! ”

Since the third brother Yang came to the good news, the four-colored stick was happy, and the complexion on his face became more and more ruddy, and An Dehai who was watching was flattering the emperor on the side, but Yang Meng waved his hand lightly, rejecting the emperor's idea of rewarding the front line!

"It's not necessary, it's just a soldier's salary and money to buy his life! Now that the treasury is empty, it is only right to collect the money and grain in the capital and reserve the people and horses to defend against the enemy!

The militia is a militia after all, and it will still disperse after the war, if His Majesty rewards the people and horses of Bali Bridge, the Zeng Zuo side in the south of the Yangtze River will not be peaceful. ”

These words are tepid, but in the hearts of the four-color stick and Peng Yunzhang, it is a loud and loyal words! The four-color stick is happy that Yang Sange thinks about the court, but Peng Yunzhang is happy that the militia was dispersed after the war, and this Yang Laosan wants it!

"Hmmm! The third brother is right, Master Peng, you have a will over there, and you should also focus on mentioning the children of the Eight Banners in Beijing, after all, the Qing Dynasty also has their share!

I happen to be hungry, so let's eat together with Brother Yang and Master Peng! ”

After eating a non-stop imperial meal, Yang Meng did not want to stay in the palace for a long time, and after discussing the follow-up matters with Peng Yunzhang, he returned to his mansion.

"Commander, bring the detailed battle report of Bali Bridge!"

10,000 for 8,000, such a war situation is good for the new army, if the new army in Jiangnan has this combat power, then the new army in Yunnan will be stronger than the British and French coalition army with a little training, after all, in terms of killing skills, the new army in Yunnan has been trained for many years, and it is almost exhausted.

After receiving the battle report handed by Xu Ziwei, Yang Meng took a closer look, although the battle situation was different from what he thought, and the battle loss ratio was two to one, but this shows that the training path of the new army is still right, although the battle of Bali Bridge was a little more difficult, but Wei Huozi's appearance is remarkable, and his response is not worse than that of the commander of the British and French coalition forces, but the new army is a little worse than the British and French coalition forces in terms of cooperation.

"It's not bad, inform the whole army of Wei Huozi's experience, and hone these corresponding countermeasures in the near future.

Commander, what do you think of the current war situation? ”

Although the Battle of Baliqiao was unsatisfactory, it at least proved that the new army was combatable, and the new army did not break up after losing more than half of it, which is a good sign, and being able to withstand hard and vicious battles is the guarantee that an army can go to the end.

"It depends on the third master's plan, if you annihilate the British and French forces, it should be okay to work in three or five days, if you want to point to the British and French forces to make a fuss, this step still has to be slowed down."

The combination of Chinese and Western countries does not necessarily produce good results, but in terms of fighting, Yang Meng can be sure that the combination of Chinese and Western will inevitably have good results, two thousand years of fighting experience. Plus the international situation in Europe for the past few hundred years. It's no wonder that nothing good happens!

Xu Ziwei reads a lot. He has a deep foundation in Chinese studies, and Yang Meng does not have a deep foundation in the strategy of fighting, and there are some things, let Xu Ziwei analyze it, which is also a big hint for Yang Meng.

"If you want to annihilate the Anglo-French army, it's very simple! Let Wei Huozi's men and horses attack together, and break them with superior forces!

However, the Anglo-French forces were exterminated. The third master has no reason to stay in Beijing, we do not negotiate, do not surrender, and do not surrender the principle, the British and French know that if the more than 30,000 British and French troops are surrounded, the British and French territories can only increase troops to rescue, if this coalition army is left, the third master can not only stay in Beijing, but also use them to expand the war.

If Britain and France come to their aid, the number will not be less than 30,000. When the time comes, these people who are trapped by us. I'm afraid that it has reached the end of the crossbow, and when the British and French reinforcements land in Jinkou, let's destroy these people first, and then besiege the newly arrived reinforcements, and fight like this two or three times, I'm afraid that the British and French will beg for mercy!

After this battle, the third master is afraid that he can also see that our new army lacks training, and how can the 30,000 British and French troops who landed in Jinkou also hone more than 100,000 elite divisions for us.

The militia group in Zhilu is also our manpower, even if most of them are replaced, how can there be 50,000 or 60,000 left of 200,000 people, right? We are still 200,000 troops.

In the near future, the third master wants to consolidate the control of the Beijing Division, the second is to consolidate the control of the Qing Dynasty, the third is to ruin the reputation of the Qing Dynasty, the fourth is to hone the new army, the fifth is to induce the British and French to come to the aid, and the sixth is to constantly annihilate the British and French reinforcements.

There are so many things in front of us, and it is better for the British and French forces to keep them! ”

Xu Ziwei's analysis was basically in line with Yang Meng's interests, and after thinking about it for a while, Yang Meng decided to accept Xu Ziwei's proposal in its entirety.

"In this way, the Tibetan army that cut off the back road of the British and French coalition forces will also give them a glimmer of life, and on the sea route, Ding Taichen's minefield, is it a little earlier?"

With Jianyì, there are details of action, and many things in war are not fixed, and some things are called taking precautions, and vice versa.

"Not so! Since the third master has the intention to train the troops, why not withdraw most of the new army to train the troops, leave 50,000 or 60,000 people to cooperate with the new Yong and the British and French forces, and first temper the Tibetan army and the new army directly under Wei Huozi, and let them guard the sea route.

In order to rescue this 30,000-strong army, the British warships that could not play a role in the land war would probably have to hit other places, and the British warships would not be able to get out of the Bohai Bay by laying mines, and the warships of the British and French forces would not be able to get out, and the pressure on the five major commercial ports would be much smaller.

This Bohai Bay, as long as we hold Shandong, it will be good for them to run to Liaodong in the winter, and the British and French come to help depends on the situation, if we do not deal with it at sea, I am afraid that the British and French forces will not land lightly.

Another point, the artillery of the new army is more than that of the British and French forces, during this time, we might as well use more artillery, the artillery on this battleship is alive, and if you don't get it, the British and French forces will have to remove the guns on the battleship to rescue the men and horses of the land war.

In this way, the navy of the British and French forces will also go ashore, and the huge land of Gyeonggi can bury the land and water of the British and French forces at the same time, as for this warship? Without fangs and claws, is he still a battleship?

Yang Fuliang is short of a lot of warships, if we can induce the British and French navy to land, the third master, more than 90 gunboats, how many can we get? ”

Xu Ziwei's strategy is definitely a good strategy for Yang Meng, it seems that in terms of strategic layout, Xu Ziwei's ability is much greater than his own, these things, Yang Meng can only think of encircling the point to send reinforcements, forcing the navy to land, and seeking to seize the warships of the British and French forces, but Yang Meng did not expect it.

"Good strategy! That's it! Damn it! It's really good to sleep with the queen and the concubine! Inform Yang Fuliang that Lao Tzu wants most of the warships of the British and French forces, and it is best to get them all! You're in for a treat!

Commander, Lao Tzu has taken advantage of the luck of the Qing Dynasty? ”

Sure enough, the third master of his own family is not a good person! It's only been two days since he entered Beijing and he shouldn't have slept well, but Xu Ziweiquan didn't hear about it, and only agreed to his strategy when the third master agreed.

"Third master, although this plan is good, I'm afraid that the British and French forces will not be fooled! Looking at the response of the British and French forces, they are very sophisticated, such an obvious big loophole, I am afraid that they will not leak it lightly. ”

Although the strategy is good, someone has to be fooled! The commanders of the Anglo-French forces are not fools, and it is easier said than done to get their navy to abandon the battleship to land!

"It just so happens that Jingshi has also recruited a group of brave men, let's use them as bait! The Tibetan army was withdrawn, leaving part of the new army to block the back of the British and French forces, and Wei Huozi's men and horses were also withdrawn by 10,000, and 20,000 people could almost block the offensive of the British and French forces.

The withdrawn Tibetan army and Wei Huozi's new army, part of the scattered to Zhilu Lianyong, the other part formed a large encirclement on the periphery, once the British and French troops wanted to withdraw, the Yong battalion of the Beijing division could not be stopped, and the Tibetan army could be rescued in time.

During this time, let Taichen transport an extra batch of grain, and we will prepare for a protracted war! ”

Ninety British and French warships, even if they are not transformed into ironclad ships, are enough to protect the coastal defense of the Qing Dynasty, such a prey, in Yang Meng's opinion, is enough to pay for hundreds of thousands of dead and wounded, involving the coastal defense of a country, what a sacrifice is worth it!

If there were really these ninety warships, in two or three years, Yang Meng would be able to expand the number of ironclad ships to one hundred and fifty or sixty, after all, the thickness of the planks of these warships was enough to divide them into two.

"Third master, if you fight like this, the Taiping Army in Jiangnan will have to clean up early!"

As soon as the big strategy changed, there were more matters involved, and now the Taiping Army became a burden to Yang Meng.

"Hmmm! There is no urgency in this matter, wait until the warships of the British and French forces can be used, and then clean up the Taiping Army, it will only take three or two months! ”

The Taiping Army, if it was for these ninety warships, Yang Meng would not mind giving up Shi Dakai's, Shi Dakai is like this, as long as someone can always produce one or two, but ninety battleships are an extremely rare opportunity! Once in 100 years! (To be continued......)
