The massacre in Zhangjiawan was a provocation by the weak against the strong and a sin committed by the weak against the strong for the British and French forces, but in Yang Meng's view, the Zhangjiawan slaughterhouse was a good move to turn the tide of the war.

As for how many Anglo-French troops died, Yang Meng didn't care at all, no matter how many foreign devils died, what did it have to do with him? As for revenge? Yang Meng still wants to take revenge on those foreign devils!

After the arrival of the Russian mercenaries, the situation of the war was developing in an unfavorable direction for Yang Meng, and the battle of Beijing and Tianjin planned by Yang Meng was to trap the British and French forces, not Lao Maozi, and Lao Maozi's unlucky time should be delayed, and the 100,000 people who killed Lao Maozi were far from satisfying Yang Meng's appetite.

The relationship between Yang Meng and Tsarist Russia is determined by geographical relations, and cooperation is not impossible, but Tsarist Russia is not weak to a certain extent, or the Qing Dynasty is not weak to a certain extent, and it is difficult to carry out cooperation between the two countries.

Competing for living space with each other, 100,000 people is obviously far from enough, if you add two or three zeros to this number, you may be able to meet Yang Meng's requirements, weak neighbors, especially Tsarist Russia, if they are not weakened to death, they will be great enemies in the future.

Britain and France are traitors, only sent about 30,000 British and French troops to participate in the war as baggage troops, trapped 100,000 Lao Maozi and 30,000 British and French troops in the Beijing and Tianjin area, presumably the anxious must be Lao Maozi, 30,000 people, Britain and France should have the determination to cut off the tail of the poisonous snake.

The Zhangjiawan slaughterhouse not only slowed down the march of the Anglo-French troops and allowed a large number of Anglo-French troops to gather in the Zhangjiawan area, but also changed the structure of the Anglo-French forces, with more than 50,000 Russian mercenaries retreating to Beitang and more than 20,000 Anglo-French troops entering the Zhangjiawan area. Although it was only more than 20,000 people, it reached 50,000 British and French troops. With 30,000 is not an order of magnitude.

50,000 horses, Britain and France want to abandon. If you add the 20,000 or 30,000 British and French troops in Beitang, then the area around Beijing and Tianjin is the place where Britain and France must be saved.

It was not a simple matter for Yang Meng to surround the Anglo-French forces in Zhangjiawan and cut off the back road of Beitang, and the combat strength of the Zhilu militia was insufficient. It is barely possible to let them fight positional warfare, but interspersed with the division of the Anglo-French coalition forces in the field war, now only Wei Huozi's Jiangnan militia and Gongweijing's southwest militia can do it.

Shi Dakai took away 50,000 people from the Zhilu militia, and now there are less than 20,000 left, and the Zhili militia and the Shandong militia are stationed in front of Baliqiao and Zhangjiawan respectively. I'm afraid it's just a luxury!

Wei Huozi's men and horses, if they want to cut off the back road of Beitang and besiege the British and French forces in Beitang, they will have to face the threat of warships at sea, and the number of 100,000 people is not enough. The Beijing division needs to stay behind, and the southwest militia directly under Yang Meng can only dispatch 50,000 horses at most. Participated in the encirclement and annihilation of the Anglo-French forces.

The cavalry of Seng Lingqin and Zhang Luoxing is a good mobile force. But without the cooperation of the army, it would be difficult for the cavalry unit to surprise the army that formed the war. Charge directly, that is to find death, the cavalry hard to defend the faint move of the gun formation, Monk Greenqin has tried in Zhangjiawan and Bali Bridge, there is no defeat!

Wei Huozi besieged Beitang with men and horses, not too few, 100,000 people is not too much, 150,000 Zhilu militia group, to form two lines of defense to trap the British and French forces in Zhangjiawan, now the remaining troops in Yang Meng's hands are only 50,000 southwest militia regiments, Shi Dakai's 20,000 horses, and more than 100,000 cavalry of Seng Lingqin and Zhang Luoxing.

The number of cavalry is sufficient, but the number of the army is slightly worse, and if you want to encircle and annihilate the Anglo-French army in Zhangjiawan, the number of the army is less, and there is not enough land cooperation, and the cavalry tactics will not work.

"Commander, haven't Zeng Disheng's men arrived in Zhili yet?"

Zeng Disheng led the army to be transferred to Zhili, and it was not a matter of one or two days, and more than a month was too short for the transfer of officials and troops! Zeng Disheng's 50,000 Xiangyong is one of the people and horses that Yang Meng wants to bury, for no other reason, among Xiangyong, there is the survival of the elder brother's association!

"Third master, I'm afraid it will take half a month at the fastest to enter the territory of Zhili!"

"Slow! Let Xiang Yong get on the barge and give them seven days to reach the Zhangjiawan battlefield!

During this time, Shi Dakai's men and horses cooperated with 30,000 cavalry to intercept the Anglo-French coalition army in the west and penetrate into Zhili and Shandong, Yu Biao took 50,000 southwest militia regiments, and the main force of Seng Lingqin and Zhang Luoxing to divide and encircle the Anglo-French coalition army in Zhangjiawan.

The battle in Beitang was handed over to Wei Huozi, and 15,000 cavalry of Seng Lingqin were dispatched as his mobile force!

During this time, you are in charge of the government affairs of the Beijing Division, and Lao Tzu is going to Zhangjiawan to supervise the war! ”

Yang Meng put out a big formation, but these soldiers and horses still lack a general to reconcile the relationship between each other, and the loopholes cannot be inside, now Shi Dakai's ability to be handsome is enough, but Yang Meng is not very new Shi Dakai, Yu Biao and Wei Huozi have not gone through actual combat, and Yang Meng can only be a new general now.

Supervising the war, strategy is secondary, and being able to coordinate the relationship between the generals is the most important thing, and now, Yang Meng himself is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.

"Third master, the son of a daughter can't sit down!"

The Anglo-French coalition army did not lose its combat strength, and the Anglo-French coalition army that fought Erjin at Bali Bridge before, and the new army led by Wei Huozi did not take much advantage, if it were not for the crowd tactics of the Jingshi militia group, I am afraid that the new army would have suffered seventy or eighty thousand casualties.

Now the British, French and Russian coalition forces near Zhangjiawan are in high spirits, although the third master's plan is good, but whether it can be fought well depends on the ability of the militia group.

A big war of 100,000 people, this is the first time, although Ergin brought 40,000 or 50,000 British and French troops before, but the new army was defeated and annihilated in batches, 100,000, the outcome is unpredictable!

Looking at the high-spirited third master of the Yang family, Xu Ziwei also had to pour a scoop of cold water in advance.

"This is the real first battle, the first battle of the Yunnan New Army! Wei Huozi and Yu Biao, success or failure. is still between the two sayings, Shi Dakai is a newcomer. Zhang Luoxing is a general, and Monk Greenqin is an old enemy. Zeng Disheng is a hero, now the relationship between us in this battle is too complicated, Lao Tzu does not go to the town, once there is an omission, the Beijing-Tianjin plan will be in vain, and this matter has to go!

Optimistic about the emperor, Duanhua and the devil six of the three eastern provinces, during this time, the defense force of the Beijing division was insufficient, and the war on the front line did not know how long it would linger. Jingshi can't have a trace of slackness, if the battle situation on the front line is smooth, we might as well let the emperor come to another imperial expedition! ”

For Yang Meng, the real big thing is not to control the emperor of the four-color stick, but that he planned in the area of Beijing and Tianjin, and controlled the four-color stick, and he could control only one Qing Dynasty, and the plan of Beijing and Tianjin was completed, and the territory and sea frontier of the Qing Dynasty could be at least doubled!

The Battle of Beijing and Tianjin. It is not only related to the territory of the northeast and northwest, but also to the situation in Southeast Asia, Australia, the Americas, Europe, and more importantly, the Beijing-Tianjin War. It is related to the Qing Dynasty's control of Mongolia, even if it is unable to expand, Shoucheng still has to do it. Mongolia is really under control, the chaos of the Northwest Frontier. It's gone, Mongolian blood. It can spread from the northwest to Central Asia!

"Captain do your best!"

"Hmmm! Let Cen Yuying hand over to Taichen, and enter Beijing recently! It's time to use this kid! ”

Internal affairs, Xu Ziwei is not the best one in the Yang family, Ding Taichen and Cen Yuying are, Jiangnan needs someone to sit in charge, Cen Yuying's qualifications are not enough, Ding Taichen is just right, let Cen Yuying, Xu Ziwei, and Li Xiucheng form a three-person administrative center, which is a good choice.

"Yan Qing is just right for entering Beijing, the third master is wise!"

For power, Xu Ziwei really doesn't have much ambition, not that he doesn't have it, but he doesn't dare to have it, in terms of being a man, Xu Ziwei is shrewd, and his ambition will lead to death.

Dealing with internal affairs, it seems that the power is in hand, but who is tired and who knows, many things in the administration have to be according to the framework of the third master, and act recklessly, and the Ding housekeeper in Guangzhou is afraid that he doesn't have that ability! Dealing with government affairs, Cen Yuying's young man is the best, with strong firepower, great ambition, and full of energy!

"Don't slack off! I'm going to go to the palace to ask for a decree! ”

After instructing Xu Ziwei, Yang Meng hurriedly came to the imperial city, some things still have to go through the motions, when it comes to letting the four-color stick drive in person in the future, Yang Meng will also say hello to him.

"Third brother, you can just look at this matter, there are some things that don't need to be asked."

The four-color stick is slack, but it is still useful, even if you teach it well, it is not a day or two that can be learned, the stand-in is a stand-in, even if the four-color stick is not a Mingjun, but the stand-in wants to replace the four-color stick, it can only be external, to be honest, the temperament that the four-color stick has cultivated in the imperial city for nearly 30 years, the stand-in can't be learned!

In the matter of Inner and Outer Mongolia, Yang Meng still has to rely on the emperor's four-color stick, and when the affairs of Inner and Outer Mongolia are properly handled, the usefulness of the four-color stick will be exhausted.

"His Majesty is the king, Yang Meng is the minister, and some things have to be done according to the rules."

"Whatever you want! Whatever you want! ”

Although the slack of the four-color stick is a good thing, but it is not a good thing to be too slack, it is not a good thing to subdue the Mongolian kings, and the momentum is not enough.

"Your Majesty, if the battle on the front line is smooth, it is still necessary for the royal driver to conquer in person, and if the time is right, it can also deter the Mongol kings!"

"Good! It's all arranged by the third brother! The army is miserable, third brother, how many concubines do I choose for you? ”

"Military affairs, you can't be subject to the personal feelings of your children, so it's better for the minister to go to the battlefield earlier!"

"It's good! When Zaiyuan comes back, let's take a look at the Mongolian girls, if there is a suitable one? I'm tired of playing with these in the palace! ”

Looking at the four-color stick, Yang Meng also felt that he hadn't taught him new tricks for a long time, and this woman was just like that, and if she slept too much, it would be boring.

"Huh...... If there is a new way, it may be! The third brother will teach you a few more tricks! ”

After a morning's hard work, Yang Meng taught a few tricks of the four-color stick, only a few days of kung fu, the four-color stick not only turned blue, but also the blood on his body was not much, from a distance, it was almost like a living corpse, it seems that his lifespan is about the same, and he must take advantage of the time when this kid dies to get the Mongolian affairs done.

As long as he doesn't kill the four-color stick with his own hands, presumably the descendants of the Yang family will not have the feelings of the rabbit dying and the fox being saddened, and what Yang Meng is afraid of now is the psychological changes of the Yang family's descendants, and many things will change over time.

Shadows, shadows, blood shadows, internal intelligence departments, and so on, to put it bluntly, can only monitor external things, people's hearts, who can monitor them? The bigger the plate, the greater Yang Meng's suspicion of his subordinates, how many dynasties has the land under his feet? Deceive the upper and lower levels, yin and yang violate, these eight words are enough to explain the rise and fall of the dynasty, starting from Shang Ying, to Wang Anshi, Zhang Juzheng, Chongzhen, Kang Yongqian, many elite figures, didn't they fall on these eight words, can he Yang Meng do it?

The imperial system, the change of law, the new deal, with a lot of thoughts, Yang Meng walked out of the imperial city, the moment he stepped out of the noon gate, Yang Meng gave up thinking about these, and now the war is a big deal!

Dealing with the Zhangjiawan slaughterhouse and burying the corpses of the Anglo-French coalition army, in the eyes of Yilu and McMahon, this is a good way to boost the morale of the Anglo-French coalition army, so that in the face of the demon-like Qing army, the British and French coalition troops can also abandon the pity in their hearts and slaughter the city, which is the result of Yilu's discussion with McMahon, and they want to take the Anglo-French army to sack the capital of the Qing country.

But these, in Yang Meng's view, are extremely stupid, the soldiers are expensive, and the 100,000 troops can become invincible in the world if they stay in Zhangjiawan for two days?

There is no long-range high-power artillery, no machine guns, each other's firearms technology level is about the same, terrain, intelligence, and numbers are the key factors that determine victory or defeat, which is also the basis for Yang Meng to dare to fight the battle of Beijing and Tianjin.
