Chapter 450: Defeat the prestige of the Qing Empire
"If we want to break the spirit of resistance and resistance in all parts of the land of China, we must first defeat the power center of the Manchu Empire - the New Army of the Eight Banners stationed in Shanxi Province!
The focus of our next offensive will be on the Beijing-Tianjin Field Army, the attack in the Jiangnan region, let's let it go first, the dead are the elite of the Han Empire, and we can't go on like this......"
Wang Qiming said at the operational meeting. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
This statement was immediately recognized by the following, which would have been unthinkable three months ago!
When the attack was just launched, the invincible Han army planned to fly all the regimental training armies and Qing troops all the way, no matter what armed forces you had, as long as you followed the Manchu Empire, they were all enemies!
It's a pity that three months later, the battle losses of more than 10,000 field troops are shocking, the Hunan army is only the strongest of them, although the regimental training in other areas is not as good as the Hunan army, but the use of various geographical advantages and dangers has also caused losses to the Han army in varying numbers.
Therefore, the arrogant wave of bulldozing remarks was taken away, bribed the group training, suspended the attack in the Jiangnan region, destroyed the Qianlong Emperor's lair first, and even chased the plan of beating Emperor Qianlong's ass in front of the case!
At the same time, the sound of a large number of Han New Army transfers into front-line combat units also sounded!
It was not that the Han Empire was not in a hurry to send the new Han army to the battlefield, but that the previous tentative offensive had lost the face of the new Han army......
In one battle, the field army took a hill and handed it over to the new Han army of more than 5,000 people to guard, but the Hunan army took advantage of the cover of the night and forcibly recaptured it with a surprise attack with cold weapons......
Since then, the imperial military no longer dares to let the Han New Army alone take on combat missions!
Their will to fight is simply too weak!
Of course, this is also related to the fact that the Han Empire did not invest too much financial resources and energy, and a large number of Han new armies were reorganized from the green battalion soldiers who surrendered to Chengcheng in order to achieve quick success......
The Han military also knew that most local regimental training did not want to confront the Han army, after all, their losses far exceeded that of the Han army, and those who died were all children of their hometown, who wanted?
The reason why the local regimental training did not defect on a large scale was mainly because they had hope for the Manchu regime!
After all, the Manchu regime had relaxed the rights of the local gentry and given them great freedom and convenience, and maintaining the Manchu regime was to maintain the interests of the gentry class.
Who called the Han Empire famously centralized, dictatorial politics, and no decentralization of power at all......
If you don't have a choice, you can't twist your arms or thighs, you should surrender or surrender, but the Manchu Empire's Eight Banners New Army is well-trained, no matter how you look at it, it looks like it can be continued, and the local regimental training is naturally willing to fight for the interests of the gentry!
As a result, the Beijing-Tianjin Field Army of the Han Empire no longer insisted on occupying the territory, but launched a full-scale attack on the location of the New Army of the Eight Banners in Shanxi, that is, the temporary palace of Emperor Qianlong!
Armed by the Russians, the Eight Banners New Army, which has been trained by Russian military instructors and modernized troops, stepped on the battlefield with great momentum, and then collapsed magnificently under the absolute superiority of the Han army......
It's not that the New Army of the Eight Banners doesn't work hard, it's not that even their Russian military instructors didn't expect that the artillery power of the field troops of the Han Empire was so terrifying!
Not to mention that the backward Manchu Empire is on a par with it, even in the ongoing war between the republic and the monarchy on the European continent, the artillery power of the Han army is enough to be called the first in the world!
The 75 mm field gun, which has a long range and bright explosive power, and the grenadier that is easy to carry and small in size, but not weak, have opened the eyes of the Russians.
No hearsay is as powerful as what you have seen with your own eyes!
The tens of thousands of defeated Eight Banners New Army, under the light cavalry revolvers and sabers under the field troops of the Han army, the corpses were spread all the way to Taiyuan City, the capital of Shanxi!
The powerful mobility and high efficiency of the Han army's field troops made the defeated Eight Banners New Army miserable, and they found that it was such a difficult thing to escape!
Those Manchu nobles did not have time to organize the rout of the New Army of the Eight Banners, and as soon as they gathered a group of people, they were defeated with revolvers by the Han light cavalry that followed after pursuit!
The cavalry revolver developed by the Han Empire is similar to the six-shot revolver used by the early American cowboys in the history of the earth.
Its range is not very far, the main advantage is that it is easy to carry and load, and of course, the rate of fire is also quite powerful, faster than the Han style!
After all, this is a pistol that can pull the trigger continuously!
The big man has to shoot and pull the bolt!
Emperor Qianlong naturally received the defeat report from the horse, and fled before the new army of the Eight Banners was defeated to the capital of Taiyuan......
This time, the field troops of the Han army received a strict order from above to chase Emperor Qianlong's ass to the ends of the earth......
The defeat of the New Army of the Eight Banners all the way caused a great demoralization shake to the local Qing army, the local Qing army almost surrendered, and the entire territory of Shanxi Province fell into the hands of the Han army at an astonishing speed after the Qianlong Emperor fled!
The field army in the Beijing-Tianjin area separately allocated a cavalry unit to chase after Emperor Qianlong, and only stopped after chasing him out of the Mongolian Pass!
After all, the Mongolian steppe was still the territory of the loyal hardcore younger brother of the Manchu Empire at this time, and the cavalry team was likely to be beaten to death if they entered!
However, the strategic goal of the Han Empire has been achieved, the escape of Emperor Qianlong and the destruction of the New Army of the Eight Banners have completely destroyed the pillar of hope in the hearts of the local regiments, and the emperor has fled to Guanwai Mongolia, what hope does the Manchu Empire have?
Moreover, the black soil of the three eastern provinces also fell into the hands of the Han Empire, and the Manchu Empire seems to really forget that the Han people can really turn over and be the masters!
After Emperor Qianlong fled outside the pass, Zeng Guangtou and other local regiment leaders unanimously agreed to the peace conditions proposed by the envoys sent by the Han Empire, so that the Han army lost a lot of rich areas in the Central Plains.
