Chapter 312: The Great Fukushima Retreat
Sotnam Pensuk, this is the name of the author's ecstasy.
However, for the sake of narrative convenience, it is called Sotna.
This person is the commander of the army of my dignified Qing Dynasty who went to Dongying to quell the rebellion at the invitation of France, a world power.
In May this year, the pillar of the Qing Dynasty, the god of war on the Bali Bridge, and the last warrior monk of Mongolia, Gelinqin, was killed by Zhang Pifang, a pawn of the Twist Army, in a bud rice field in Heze, Shandong.
The death of the monk king represented the loss of the last Manchu and Mongolian generals in their hands.
At this time, although the Qing court was frightened and had to ask Zeng Guofan, the leader of the Han landlords, to go north to suppress it, it still did not relax its vigilance against the Han people in his heart.
The Qing court formed an international peacekeeping force to go to Dongying to quell the rebellion, and in desperation, it had no choice but to choose the Han green battalion in Beizhili, but the commander and the supervising team definitely could not use the Han people.
The reason why Prince Sotnam Pensuk was given high hopes was because he was the prince of Zasak and Shuodarhan, the central banner of the left wing of Korqin.
To put it simply, Sotna is the junior of Borzigit Sanglingqin.
Before Monk Grinqin was beheaded in the bud rice field, he once expressed to the imperial court that Sotna was familiar with military books and skilled in arching horses, and that he had obtained the position of the head of the Jelimu League for Sotna.
As for why, when the monk Lingqin played, their family would have a lot of Durhan's silver in the treasury, and there would be a lot of Durhan's cattle and sheep in the pasture, this is unknown.
In short, because of this incident, the court unanimously decided that Sotna's heroes were good at war, and his bravery was not under the monk king, and he was the last hope of the Qing Dynasty.

"Ahh
Lord Sotna watched the snowflakes fall on the deck and sneezed coldly.
He tightened his mink jacket tightly, and tried to curse in a low voice, but the bump from under his feet made him want to vomit as soon as he opened his mouth.
As a Mongol, if he had a stat panel, his naval combat suitability would never exceed 20 points.
After all, it is well known that although the Mongol navy was strong, it could only have seven people, and Sotna was not among them.
As soon as his chest tightened, two minions hurriedly carefully held the prepared urinal.
Thortena retched twice into the urinal, and finally only spitted sputum.
"Damn, why did it snow so early this year!"
Blown by the cold wind over the whale sea, Sotna felt that his seasickness had improved a lot.
"After a while, the foreigners came to me, and they said that this king is still seriously ill, and you will entertain this king well!"
"In addition, remember to write on the peace fold to the imperial court, this king is seriously ill, but he knows the weight of the king's life in state affairs, and he believes that he will die for the country, and goes to Fusang to earn back face for my Qing Dynasty! When I got to Dongying, I sent the fold back together! ”
After explaining a few words to the deputy commander and the others, Sotena staggered into the cabin under the service of the minions, and went to find a small charcoal stove to warm up.
This year's weather is unusually cold!
The deputy commander and others were also helpless.
The army was supposed to be drawn in July.
As a result, because the prince of Sotna said that he would train the soldiers and horses of his headquarters, so that he would promote the power of the Qing Dynasty in Dongying, and then he said that he would be filial to the old uncle of Monk Greenqin......
After a delay of more than three months, he set out on the expedition.
To say that the soldiers and horses of the headquarters are trained in battle, although this matter is outrageous, it is just that.
But this Sot Na prince is a Mongolian, Ding is worried!
According to the ancestral system, the Han ministers of the Qing Dynasty had to be satisfied with Ding Wei for 27 months, and the Manchu and Mongolian ministers did not need Ding Wei at all, or just stay at home for a month and pretend.
The reason why there is such a big difference between the Manchu and Han officials' Ding Wei system, in addition to the fact that there are indeed cultural differences, is of course to attack the Han Chen.
A quite powerful Hanchen returned to his hometown for two and a half years because of Ding Wei, of course, his career will be greatly frustrated, isn't this vacancy just enough to fill in for Manchen?
As a result, this prince of Sotna is good, if it weren't for the urging of the imperial court, he is afraid that he will really be able to stay in the nest of the Jelimu League for two or three years.
Of course, this kind of thing can't be delayed in the end.
After all, the fleet of foreigners is also hired with money, and every day, all they spend is the egg money of the Long Live Lord!
Long live the eggs are expensive, forty taels or one!
We can't save some money for our masters as slaves?
So the prince of Sotna was almost put on the ship and led 50,000 green battalions to quell the rebellion.
As for whether the French will be in a hurry, it should not.
After all, it is said that they were invited by France to go to the Japanese to quell the rebellion, and the imperial court also regarded this matter as the first martial art of the Tongzhi Dynasty, but everyone knew in their hearts that these green battalions went to Japan to work as coolies, porters and fast catchers.
This is just a method that the French came up with to control the Japanese with China.
It doesn't matter if you arrive a few days early or a few days late, as long as you can help with the aftermath.
This time, Daqing really worked hard this time.
The 50,000 green camps selected are all relatively young, good-looking, long-grown, and well-behaved peasant children.
After all, if you recruit a group of old Qiu Ba at random, they will come to kill the good and risk the merits for a while, and they will come to plunder the township for a while, I am afraid that it will not end well.
It doesn't matter if the person is gone, but if the friends are surprised and the foreigners are angry, this is a basket that stabs the sky!
Therefore, the military discipline of this green battalion is good.
Even the prince of Sotna went on the expedition, and it was rare that he did not bring his concubine Meiji, and only brought a few white-faced little ministers, which can be said to be quite self-disciplined.

Cixi originally wanted to ask the French to borrow a ship to send troops.
However, France simply did not have so many ships in the Far East.
So this time the convoy was a ship borrowed from the British by the imperial court.
The British likewise did not have so many ships in the Far East, but in India they did.
The transports from India, which were supposed to return in September, were towed to October.
But fortunately, the Qing court, which had no common sense of ocean trade at all, was paid on a daily basis, so instead of losing, they earned.
After the British sailors carried the Qing army, they not only lowered the speed of the voyage, but also chose the long route of the Whale Sea across the Ezo Strait to the east coast of the Japanese island, in order to make an extra profit.
Of course, there will always be an end to the voyage, and in mid-November, their destination, the port of Fukushima in Japan, is just around the corner.

"Land, has land finally arrived?"
Wrapped in a robe, Soltena looked at the buildings in the distance, tears in her eyes.
He swore that it was too wise that Kublai Khan's ancestors did not conquer Japan.
Otherwise, wouldn't my Great Mongolia have to preserve its naval traditions?
Is this human work?
"Master, it's land, it's land, let's go to the port of the Japanese people!"
The minions also clapped their hands, and suddenly a rabbit pointed to the distance with an orchid and said, "Hey, everyone, look!" These Japanese and foreigners, they are so enthusiastic! ”

At the same time, on the pier of the port of Fukushima.
In the past, the emperor who was mysterious and secretive, and claimed to be a god; The shogun, who wields actual authority and is high above; a samurai with a large number of land deeds; There were also about 300 French advisers and diplomats, all huddled on the narrow docks, staring wolf-hungry at the approaching fleet.
What happened in Dunkirk is now more than 70 years ahead of time, and it is about to happen.
