"Is the pre-war propaganda done?"

"Now the vast majority of the people in the cities on the southeast coast of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, extending from Liangguang to Shandong, have heard the rumors of our Taiping Army, and also know the slogan we shouted to destroy the Qing Dynasty and restore the Han Dynasty.

It's just that the Manchu government also deduced our strategic intentions from this, and even stimulated the Kang Mazi in the Manchu Jingshi, after all, our fleet is so large, as long as Kang Mazi's court is not blind, a little people can detect our strength.

The vanguard of our army has already conquered Hainan Island, and the Qing army above is vulnerable, but this has also made the Manchus pay more attention to us, and the coastal areas of Guangdong have gathered the main forces of the green battalions of several provinces mobilized by the Manchus. ”

At the pre-war meeting of the Taiping Expeditionary Fleet, the high command headed by several division commanders was making final preparations.

Hong Tiancheng is the king of heaven, so naturally he will not go thousands of miles to take a boat to Tulai to fight, even if he wants to come, it will be the moment when the Taiping army enters Beijing and officially establishes orthodoxy in the land of China.

Therefore, the operational plans of the Taiping Army's expeditionary fleet were commanded by the headquarters established by the veteran division commanders and staff officers from these systems.

The high-ranking officials who came out of the system have no selfish intentions and are wholeheartedly fighting for the expansion of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, so there is no need to worry about the internal problems of this kind of headquarters without a supreme commander, if necessary, the commander of the Taiping Army division with the highest rank in the command department, and even willing to make self-sacrifice to achieve strategic victory!

For example, lead the people of the headquarters with a serious shortage of personnel to do bait or something.

In the naval battle in the English Channel, the division commander of the Taiping Army, who was used as a bait, was beaten into a sieve by the grape bombs of the Allied fleet, and among the officers and soldiers of the system, the ideological consciousness was quite high!

Much higher than the armies of any era and advanced system in the history of the earth!

Because they have no selfish desires, they have no fear of life and death!

If it weren't for the intelligence and fertility of normal people, these Taiping officers and soldiers would not even be considered human beings......

The expeditionary fleet was the main force of the Taiping Army, which had only three divisions, and one of the divisions also dismantled the coastal port strongholds and supply points that were arranged to occupy along the ocean voyage.

This is the lifeline of the Taiping Expeditionary Fleet, and it must not be missed, once it is cut off, the Taiping Expeditionary Fleet thousands of miles away will lose all its firepower superiority, and will even be reduced to the point where it can only fight the Qing army with bayonets......

The Taiping military's propaganda behavior allowed the Manchu people to better understand themselves and accept themselves, but the disadvantage was that it also made the Manchu court take precautions in advance.

The main forces of the Green Battalion in several provinces, counting the messy armed forces, are enough to make up more than 100,000 soldiers!

Although there is a lot of water in the soldiers of the Manchu Empire, they are also front-line regular troops in the combat sequence!

In the Kang Mazi era, the Green Battalion had not lost its combat effectiveness, and it was much more capable of fighting than the children of the Eight Banners who had become corrupt and degenerate, and many of them were even veterans who had fought against Zhunger in the three expeditions to Taiwan!

The real degeneration of the green battalion of the Qing army was not until the Qianlong period, when the prosperity of Chengping had been a long time, the veterans were old, and the green battalion could not meet the enemy of the same level, so it was gradually abolished.

To put it bluntly, no matter how well a country's military is trained, it still has to rely on actual combat to maintain combat effectiveness, and this is also applicable in the 21st century.

It's not just because of the weapons and equipment of the U.S. military, but the millions of veterans trained by the U.S. military in wars all over the world!

These veterans have all seen blood, and there is an essential difference between them and the soldiers who came out of the training camp.

Even if there is a problem with the training method of the green battalion of the Qing army, as long as the soldiers have seen the real battlefield in blood, the combat effectiveness will not be too bad.

Therefore, the main force of the 100,000 green battalion field battles is enough to attract the attention of the Taiping Army.

The Taiping Army was able to land more troops than one division, and the expeditionary fleet of three divisions, one of which was evenly distributed to various supply points and military garrisons such as the Indian Peninsula, the Strait of Malacca, and the Nanyang Islands.

The remaining two divisions still have some reserves, and the first batch to land is only a fraction of a division or a fraction more.

There are more than 13,000 people in one division, and in the face of the main force of more than 100,000 green battalions, as well as the armed forces such as young and strong people and local inspection inspectors who were organized by the Manchu court and cannot be counted, it is not an exaggeration to say that the comparison is ten to one.

To achieve such a disparity in strength, it is not difficult for the Taiping army to win, but if it wants to reduce the battle losses, it has to be carefully calculated.

This is a war on the territory of the Manchu Empire, once the 100,000 green battalion is defeated, Kang Mazi of the Manchu Empire can mobilize another 100,200,000 or even 300,000 troops!

The Manchu Empire was an internal transfer of troops, and the Taiping Army was thousands of miles away from the mainland, and the Taiping Army was one less dead, but the Manchu Empire was likely to die and transfer ten......

Therefore, the landing battle in the early stage was undoubtedly the most difficult for the Taiping expeditionary fleet.

What the Taiping army had to do was very simple, to attract the 100,000 Manchu main forces that did not know their own strength to one place, and then fight a decisive battle in the field to solve the main Manchu forces in Guangdong once and for all.

Avoid being dragged into a war of attrition.

Then, the Taiping army can quickly advance in a short period of time, taking advantage of the fact that the Manchu Empire has not gathered a new large-scale army, occupy more territory, and establish a solid strategic rear!

In order to restore order in the occupied areas as soon as possible, according to the national conditions of the Manchu Empire, Hong Tiancheng had already given clear instructions.

Therefore, the landlords and gentry who remained neutral and friendly to themselves were all given preferential treatment, and the management of the Taiping Army was only delegated to the county level at most, and the Manchu officialdom system was followed, and the interests of the landlords and gentry would not be infringed on in the slightest!

Of course, if there are landlords and gentry who are willing to serve the country loyally for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it is natural that there is no shortage of a set of dragon services for the destruction of the family......

In the Manchu Empire, even if it was the imperial court, it was only at the county level that could really be managed, and further down, it was actually a situation where the gentry and the imperial court co-governed, and the county magistrate rarely put his hand into the village or even town-level administrative units.

This determines the long-standing management system of the Central Plains Continent, even if there is no imperial court at the grassroots level, the common people will not lose order, under the leadership of the local gentry family, live in an orderly manner, although they will be exploited and oppressed, but at least there will be no chaos.

If there is no chaos, it will be enough for the Taiping army!

Hong Tiancheng wants to overthrow the Manchu Empire, not the deep-rooted gentry class on the Central Plains continent, Hong Tiancheng doesn't want to be like Hong Xiuquan in history, killing the gentry class to the cold, as a result, wave after wave of local townsmen and other troops organized by the gentry class rise, and then grind Hong Xiuquan's power alive!
