Chapter 106: The Two Governors Battle Western Yunnan
The mountain people in western Yunnan are not the return led by Huang Baba, the mountain people have been fighting with the Eight Banners and the Green Battalion since the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, and they also have their own unique features in terms of tactics, and there are reinforcements behind them, and the situation is extremely unfavorable to them.
The leaders who came to help turned their hearts sideways and directly aimed at Zhang Bilu and Shen Jucheng, who were guarding in the middle of the mountain. The mountain people of Yunnan are different from the Huihui, the Huihui only practice boxing and kicking, and they usually keep to themselves. The mountain people rebelled every once in a while, and each village had its own knife hand to protect the village, and the bloody fighting experience of these mountain people was also honed by generations of Qing troops.
Artillery, bird guns these mountain people will also use, between the advance and retreat quite a combination of military formation, Zhang Bilu is not a meat head, you can see the strength and weakness of the two sides at a glance, if there is no involvement of those old soldiers and militia groups, with more than 10,000 people in their hands, they can fight with the mountain people, but with these drag oil bottles, plus it is two sides of the enemy.
Once the war starts, it will definitely be a result of defeat and no victory. At this time, it is also time to see the true ability of each person, the mountain people are pressing step by step, Zhang Bilu is directing the militia and the old soldiers to retreat, and he leads more than 10,000 elite people, who are alive and blocked, the attack on the mountain and under the mountain.
He Changling didn't have the ability of Zhang Bilu anymore, and when he saw the mountain people fighting, he didn't hesitate, commanding the superintendent and Fu Biao to go up, chasing the mountain people's buttocks and beating them.
The more fierce He Changling's side fought, the greater the pressure on Zhang Bilu who was caught in the center, and within two hours of the war, more than a thousand Qing soldiers were lying on the mountainside, but the losses of the mountain people were not large, only three or four hundred people died.
The combat power of the mountain people is too strong, and Zhang Bilu himself is timid. Although He Changling's side fought well, it was for the entire battle situation. It can only add to the chaos. It was easy to support the militia and the green battalion soldiers who left first, leaving within the attack range of the mountain people. Zhang Bilu retreated this time with the elite who almost collapsed.
The mountain people took advantage of the situation to go to the cottage, but Zhang Bilu came to He Changling's military tent with an anxious face.
"Your Excellency, don't fight the mountain people! Huang Baba's house has already fled from the road, and then started a war with the mountain people, just afraid that the thief will take advantage of the situation! ”
"Don't talk about this yet, you're here to calm the chaos, how do you get along with this mountain people?"
This battle was thrilling, but fortunately, the mountain people entered the cottage. did not continue to fight with the Qing army, otherwise the losses on both sides would be large, and this matter would be difficult to solve.
"This ......"
He Changling's cold questioning made Zhang Bilu embarrassed, this matter is helpless!
"Say! The rebellion has already entered the heart of heaven, and if it provokes the mountain people to make rebellion, no one can afford this responsibility, you and me! ”
He Changling also told the truth, the mountain people must not be in chaos. They don't seem to go back, these mountain people in Yunnan are unruly and untamable, and the year is slightly unsatisfactory, and the scale is huge. With the strength of Yunnan alone, it is absolutely impossible to suppress the rebellion of the mountain people.
"Alas...... The green camp is in ruins, and Pei Zhai did not feel the bottom when he first came to Yunnan. Rush to battle. I really didn't expect the military discipline of the Yunnan Green Battalion to be so unbearable. These soldiers did not obey the orders and ransacked the left side of Yongchang day and night. first hated the militia in Yongchang, and then provoked a large number of rebellious people to vote for Huangbaba, and then it was the village on the mountain!
At first, I wanted to train the available more than 10,000 people, and then rectify the military discipline after sweeping away the Huang Baba's generation, but I didn't expect these old soldiers to be so bold and actually provoke the rebellion of the mountain people, this time it was the crime of Pei Zhai! ”
Speaking of this counterinsurgency, Zhang Bilu also had a bitter stomach, but it was not clean, and he was confused and disgusted by the Yongchang militia, and was stunned by Huang Baba's attack on the camp, and this time the rebellion was beaten.
In other words, it is a Sichuan monkey who has been trained well before, and it doesn't take 3,000 people to destroy Huang Baba in a change of hands, but the green camp in Yunnan is really not suitable, and he has great ability, and he can't use it!
"Pei Zhai! This mountain people are in chaos, what good ideas do you have? ”
What the Yunnan Green Camp looks like, He Changling knows very well, but the military is not what he is good at, so he can only let it go. Now that the catastrophe is coming, the mountain people are not easy to soothe themselves, but they are afraid that they and the Yunnan governor will lose their heads.
"My lord! Dozens of cannons in the green battalion, all of which were snatched by the mountain people of the three villages, once the big war started, we were defeated and invincible, and the mountain people in the previous battle did not lose much, and spent some money, which should be able to appease them. ”
Speaking of the missing gun, Zhang Bilu also looked ugly, who would have thought that!
"What? All the cannons are lost? How can this be born? ”
As soon as he heard that all the cannons of the green camp had been robbed by the mountain people, He Changling's face also became extremely pale, and things were in trouble. The mountain people in Yunnan are different from those in Liangguang and Guizhou, they can play with muskets and artillery, once they ......
"This can only be covered up!"
Saying this, Zhang Bilu also spent a lot of effort, sitting on the 40,000 green battalions in Yunnan, and he was a man of great achievements, bowing his head to the mountain people and begging for mercy, but also blinding the saints, he had raised the military fierceness for most of his life, and he was lost in one battle.
"That's all I can do! You take the time to rectify the green camp, Huang Baba's house must be eliminated, and I will find a way to do the rest! ”
To tell the truth, He Changling himself really has no choice, he can only annoy Yang Shiqin in Kunming for this matter, isn't he known as a prestige among the mountain people? Let's take a look at his skills this time.
"Report to the ......, Yang Meng, the general of the epidemic prevention battalion, come to visit!"
The sound of the superintendent's announcement of the door immediately eliminated the gloomy atmosphere on He Changling's face, and said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, and as soon as Yang Laosan came, the matter of the mountain people was expected to be solved.
And Zhang Bilu on the side also showed a look of doubt on his face, a bullshit general, as for making He Changling so excited?
"Pei Zhai, Fuxing is here! This Yang Laosan has some ways to govern the army, and you will learn it later, so it won't be useful! ”
Speaking of which, He Changling also got up from the handsome position, and looked like he was going to welcome some big shot.
"Epidemic prevention camp Yang Meng, see Lord Governor!"
Yang Meng pretended to kneel and bow, but was supported by He Changling.
"Oh yes...... you came just in time, but for those people on the mountain?"
Yang Meng must have a purpose in coming to western Yunnan, eighty percent of them came for the rebellion of the mountain people, it seems that this Yang family is worthy of deep friendship.
"Exactly! My father heard that the mountain people in western Yunnan were in trouble. Just let Yang San come over and make peace. ”
Zhang Bilu, the governor of Yunnan, was in front of him, in order not to embarrass He Changling. Yang Meng's words were also very tactful.
"Hey! Pei Zhai is not an outsider, Yang Lao has a heart. When I go back, I want to thank you for your old man. Pei Zhai, let's talk about the affairs of the mountain people with the three boys! There are three of us here, and only he can solve this matter. ”
He has no tricks, and He Changling can only put his hope on Yang Meng.
"Yang Shen will be! The affairs of the mountain people must be done well, and they still have dozens of cannons from the green battalion there! ”
Zhang Bilu is a commander from the first rank, and Yang Meng is an unpopular general, although he wears a third-grade military general's hat, looking at his walking posture, he is absolutely brave. But there is a huge difference in status, and Yang Meng really can't get into the eyes of Zhang Bilu, a veteran on the battlefield.
"Lord Admiral! Yang San came with 300,000 taels of silver......"
Zhang Bilu's eyes are above the top, Yang Meng is not polite, dozens of artillery, even if he can come back, this matter must be suppressed, without artillery, the green battalion soldiers in Yunnan, in Yang Meng's eyes, are not much different from the common people.
"Uh...... General Yang. How should military discipline be rectified? ”
This blunt sentence, Zhang Bilu at the top rolled his eyes, 300,000? Just for the death of hundreds of mountain people? The method of governing the army mentioned by He Changling before is also urgently needed by Zhang Bilu. He asked more.
"Kill! The green battalion is too unbearable, and not killing is not enough to rectify military discipline. ”
"Kill? You speak simply, and thousands of Green Battalion soldiers are involved in the raid. How to kill? ”
As soon as he heard this, Zhang Bilu set Yang Meng's sex. Reckless one!
"Whoever has a share will be killed! If the whole green camp is rotten, let them dig a hole for themselves. All of them were buried alive, and there are many idlers in Yunnan, so another green camp is formed! Time is pressing, Lord Doge, I'm going up the mountain now! ”
With a slight fist hug at the two, Yang Meng left He Changling's military tent.
"What a killer! This person is not available, and the poisonous crane in his heart is not up to it! ”
Seeing that Yang Meng had gone far, Zhang Bilu said this sentence angrily, Yang Meng's method is available! But it's too poisonous! I haven't heard of Yang Meng, but his son, Yang Shiqin, is a hot man in Yunnan, and he is a first-grade admiral, and he is also a head shorter than Yang Shiqin, a third-grade copper salt ambassador.
"Pei Zhai! In troubled times, the green camp in Yunnan is in ruins, and the copper class is withering, so I can't say that the Yang family's fierce medicine can bring Yunnan back to life? The Yang family is the Yang family of the Qing Dynasty, and they can't turn the sky! The matter of rectifying the green camp should be decided, there is no need to have good thoughts, and some soldiers will do what they should do! ”
The holy oracle pressed on the governor's palace, but a sharp knife on the heads of the two people, if the matter in western Yunnan is not resolved as soon as possible, it is not impossible to ask for a knife. In the battle of Gengzi, how many members of the saint were dismissed? And how many more?
The resurgence of Yunnan copper, compared to the battle of Gengzi, is more than equal in the heart of the saint, Gengzi is just a defeat, and Yunnan copper is the source of wealth for the descendants of the shade, the sacred heart is unpredictable, and the matter of western Yunnan is solved as soon as possible.
"I'm afraid that the killing will be too much, causing a mutiny and bombing the camp!"
It's not that he doesn't want to kill, Zhang Bilu really doesn't dare to kill, in case the green camp mutinies, the sin can also lose his head.
"Pei Zhai! Those who should use it should use it, and those who should not use it ......"
He Changling smiled slightly, and gave Zhang Bilu a reply.
"Alas......"
Zhang Bilu fought this battle, and the dozens of artillery pieces in the green battalion were a big trouble, if he didn't come back, this matter could only be covered up.
Yang Meng went out of the barracks, with more than 500 knives under his command, and went to the village on the mountain.
Fortunately, Zhang Bilu is a hearted person, without this Yunnan governor, the rebellion and the rebellion of the mountain people are combined, and Yunnan is afraid that it will change hands. But now is definitely not the time for the Yang family to get into trouble, Zhang Bilu retreated, the mountain people did not pursue, Yang Meng hurriedly seized this opportunity, this time no matter what, he had to pull these mountain people down the mountain.
"Which stockade is here?"
Yang Meng didn't enter other villages, and directly entered the largest Yuntou Village, which was built no different from the barracks, and on the gatehouse made of logs, more than a dozen archers were looking at the group of people they had brought.
Fortunately, the recently recruited knife man has not changed his clothes yet, otherwise he will be shot. Yang Meng, who was riding on the horse, also saw the anger on the faces of those mountain people on the gatehouse, it seems that things are not very easy to do!
"Kunming Yang Sanlang!"
shouted at the gatehouse, Yang Meng didn't care whether they understood it or not, so he didn't answer anymore. These villages, all the heads have the final say, and I don't know if these heads have a relationship with the old man, if not, they can only smash it with silver.
"But it's from Kunming Yang Buddha's family?"
Ho! The old man's name is not small, and this archer who guards the door actually knows the reputation of the old man.
"It's the third child of the Yang family!"
Yang Meng held the handle of the knife in his hand, stood under the horse and said this, the mountain people may not all be friendly with the Yang family, the incident happened in a hurry, the bottom of these villages, Yang Meng really doesn't know very well, don't be confused by the cold arrow, wouldn't that be wronged!
"The third young master of the Yang family in Kunming is here!"
The archers on the upper floor roared angrily, but Yang Meng was startled, this shouted heartbreakingly, how could he seem to have a grudge against the Yang family? But the meaning of the obedience is with other feelings, this thing...... (To be continued......)
