Chapter 410 Takes the Place
"All the soldiers listen to the order, the overseas outcasts don't know what to do, and dare to offend Tianwei, we will ......"
Bang~~~
The military general of the green battalion, who was speaking in front of the station, flew into the beautiful sky without waiting for the words to be finished......
"My God, the cannon on the other side is so far, it's too powerful!"
"This ...... It's thunder! Dozens of times more powerful than our red-coated cannon! ”
"Otherwise, let's surrender, anyway, the man on the other side is also a man from the Han family......"
……
It was not the artillery of the Han Empire that fired 100 shots, but because the range of the Manchu red-coated cannons was extremely poor, and the range was really bad, the artillery of the Han Vanguard Army simply approached and approached, aiming and aiming before firing the artillery......
Anyway, the opposite side can't hit itself, and how expensive is it to go to the 75mm howitzer shell, so naturally you have to save aiming!
As a result, the first artillery got off to a good start, and the pioneer commander, who was standing at the top and dressed many times more gorgeous than the soldiers of the green battalion, was suddenly bombarded into scum......
This cannon not only caused panic among the soldiers of the Green Battalion on the front line, but also caused confusion in their command system!
shouted that the Manchu front-line commander who was in the middle of the day, was a member of the fifth grade, and it was simply that he died, but what should these green battalion soldiers do?
What's more, the artillery shells of the Han army hit so accurately, and the general soldiers who were holding monoculars imported from the West in the back to look out, who dared to go to the front line in person?
In this way, the soldiers of the green battalion, who had been absent from the battle formation for a long time, had a break in the front and rear, and the men and horses in the rear were at a loss, and the main general was still immersed in the coquettishness of that cannon...... Oh no, it should be the power of that shot......
The soldiers of the green battalion in front of them did not get the order of the new general for a long time, and they fled back and forth in a mess, and some of them were loyal to their duties, and they knew that they were tinkering with the huge and bulky red-coated cannon, or shooting at the enemy troops hundreds of meters away with their bird guns......
All of a sudden, the Manchu batteries crackled, and the roaring counterattack was very happy, and the fight was called an earth-shattering, that was called a fierce and mighty ......
Don't say it, I can't help but look at the white smoke of the incomplete burning of the black powder on the Manchu Fort, and it really has the meaning of a fierce battle, coupled with the sound of the crackling birds one after another, the Manchu Green Battalion army is still fighting quite seriously!
Anyway, the senior officer who was watching the battle with a monocular in the rear was the head of the coastal defense shotgun battalion of Zheng Sanpin, and he was also regarded as a military officer in the Manchu Empire, which was equivalent to the brigade-level commander of China in later generations!
The military system of the Manchu Empire is roughly divided into two systems, the green battalion and the Eight Banners, and the majority of the number is naturally the green battalion system all over the country, and the Eight Banners are the national capital of the ruling class of the Manchu Empire.
Therefore, before the Opium War, even if the soldiers of the Eight Banners were corrupt and degenerate, because they rarely really went to the battlefield to fight, they rarely lost, and they always maintained the prestige of the Manchu Eight Banners during the period of entering the customs, and firmly suppressed the stability of the Manchu Empire!
Because of the prestige of the Eight Banners Army, every time they went out to fight as the overseer of the battle, the driven Green Battalion soldiers dared not disobey, and they were still more desperate in battle!
The Eight Banners Army acted as a supervising team, and it was easy to kill deserters, and they were not merciless!
Therefore, the combat effectiveness of the Green Battalion soldiers and the individual Green Battalion soldiers who were suppressed by the Eight Banners Army can be said to be one in the sky and one underground......
This is also the reason why in the Second Opium War, at the Battle of Bali Bridge, the Green Battalion Army, which was rotten to the roots, was able to shoot at the British and French forces for most of the day!
It's a pity that when the myth of the Eight Banners Army was shattered, the soldiers of the Green Battalion had less fear, and their fighting courage plummeted, all the way down to the point where even the bandits couldn't defeat them......
It can be said that the combat effectiveness of the Green Battalion has decreased dramatically due to the Opium War and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom......
The Opium War shattered the myth of the Eight Banners of the Manchu Dynasty, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom wiped out the last possible foundation of the Green Camp system......
However, in Zhao Dutian's world, although the green camp system is corrupt, it has not completely degenerated, and the main border guards, garrison troops, city defense armies and even the 'urban management troops' of the Manchu Empire are actually soldiers of the green camp system!
Of course, the Green Battalion system is also hierarchical, and when the Green Battalion needs to replenish new soldiers, it will select recruits from the Han Epitek youth and organize training, and this kind of recruits is called 'Yu Ding' by the Manchu Empire. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
The reason why it is called Yu Ding is mainly because in the land of China, conscription of soldiers is often not recruited from a family with only one man, and the male is the pillar of the family in feudal society.
If there are no men, will it not be possible for a group of women to plough the fields?
Cultivation in the Manchu Qing Dynasty was not driven by modern machinery, it all relied on manpower, and women's cultivation would seriously reduce production!
Therefore, the recruits are all families with several males in the family, and as long as they are not too ruthless, they will avoid the eldest son of the direct line, and recruit those side lines and even younger brothers as recruits, this kind of people were called Yu Ding in ancient times, that is, the remaining Ding Kou......
It can be seen that in ancient times, except for the boss, the status of other men was still very low......
The eldest is tasked with passing on the lineage, and the younger brothers have to join the family or become soldiers......
Well, in ancient times, it was even more humiliating than being a soldier!
If a man enters his mother's house, it means that this man will never want to raise his head for the rest of his life, be bullied by his mother-in-law at home, be called by his wife as a cow and horse in bed, and be poked in the backbone by neighbors outside, saying that a big man even enters a woman's house and becomes a dog......
No matter how rich that woman's family is, the reputation of this wealthy man will be completely stinky......
Of course, for men from poor families, as long as they can be fed, clothed, and dignified, they can throw it away......
Interestingly, this kind of atmosphere in ancient times is just the opposite of the popularity of men who eat soft rice in the 21st century, I have to say that this is a kind of 'progress' of the times, heheda~~~
It is naturally impossible to be a group of Yu Ding who can serve as soldiers on the Tianjin border, but a soldier who is one level higher than Yu Ding's recruits in the green battalion system, and is called a guard by the Manchu Empire!
It is basically equivalent to the armed police force used for law and order in later generations!
