Chapter 363: The Prime Minister is here for real

"Young Master, are you really here?"

Watching the young master issue military orders one after another, Yang Zhi was quite shocked.

The same question was also asked by Guotai, the governor of Shandong, and the answer given by Jia Liu was the same - he came for real.

There's no way, although Linqing has a fart income of a few hundred yuan, it is still a small amount compared to the treasures in the Holy Grandfather's underground palace.

If calculated in terms of GDP, there are billions at most on the Linqing side, and there may be hundreds of billions below Jingling.

How to choose, Jia Liu still knows how to trade-off.

continued to carry out the appeasement policy in Linqing, and his position as director of the Tanglin Management Committee was taken up by others if he did not get it right.

The use of soldiers is the use of money, and the same is true of rebellion.

If you don't make a lot of money, what can you do against the corrupt Eight Banners group headed by Qianlong?

Without banknotes, how can you build a new army, buy foreign guns and cannons, bring the red-haired devils over, and open the eyes of heaven for Qianlong?

The Qing Dynasty survived and fought here.

The meaning of the dog-headed military master Fan Wei is that if the ghost family is really ambitious, he can secretly release water to induce Wang Lun to lead the Changsheng army out of Linqing, and then drive them all the way north. Then, by pursuing the nominal troops to Beijing, the core of the Qing regime was replaced at the lowest cost and at the fastest speed.

Yang Zhi agreed with this proposal because he was worried about burning the Old Summer Palace.

Jia Liu was also moved, but after thinking about it, this plan can indeed fight big with a small one, and win Alaska with ten yuan, but this plan has one of the most fatal weaknesses.

That is, he, Lord Jia Jia, does not have a descendant force in his hand now, and he can fight wherever he wants.

Without the support of a gun, no matter how good the plan is, in the end it will be a wedding dress for others, and if you don't get it right, you will expose yourself in advance, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Therefore, it is better to be down-to-earth and follow the steps.

The siege deployment was quickly communicated to the ministries.

Wan Chaoxing, the general of Zhili, and Ma Erqing'a, the deputy general, led 1,500 troops to attack the east gate of the old city of the Qing Dynasty; The Eight Banners Army was led by the Counsellor Yingjitu to attack the East Gate in a coordinated manner.

Wang Zhen, the deputy general of the river, led 1,600 troops to attack the north gate of the old city of the Qing Dynasty.

The Shandong soldiers were led by the generals Ye Qing and Yang Zhaoli to attack the south gate of the old city of the Qing Dynasty.

Simon was handed over to the soldiers of Sauron.

The Mongolian horse team was mobile, and Chang Weijun was the general reserve.

According to the confessions of the Yan Jiren brothers, Liu Huan, and Yan Fengyuan, who surrendered, there were still thousands of victorious troops in the old city of Linqing, and the leader was the generalissimo Wang Jinglong, except for a few hundred Qingshui disciples, and the rest were mostly rabble.

The rabble is so bad that they don't even know how the prime minister will let them live, and it is purely a muddy existence.

The armament is mainly short knives and long spears, with a maximum of twenty or thirty muskets, but it is equipped with four hundred-year-old Hongyi cannons.

It was left in Linqing when Prince Yu went on a southern expedition, and it is said that it was removed from the head of Ningyuan City.

It's hard to say whether it can be started or not.

The defensive strategy of the victorious army is the new main and the old secondary, that is, most of the main elite are concentrated in the new city, and the old city is not guarded.

When Chang Sheng's army attacked Linqing, Qin Zhenjun also knew that the old city could not be defended, so he withdrew the ferries, moved hundreds of thousands of taels of Linqing tariff silver to the new city for military supplies, and recruited more than 800 people to garrison.

Due to the lack of siege equipment of the victorious army, they were not able to break through to the new city immediately after capturing the old city. After the Qing army attacked Linqing with several large armies, the Chang Sheng army broke the enemy in one fell swoop under the command of Fan Wei, seeing this situation, those people in the new city were brave and fearful, and secretly opened the city, which allowed the Chang Sheng army to occupy the new city.

It was sentenced that Qin Zhenjun and other Linqing officials were all killed, and hundreds of thousands of taels of tax silver in the city also fell into the hands of Chang Shengjun.

Fan Wei suggested that after taking the old city, concentrate the elite troops to storm the south gate of the new city, because the defense there was relatively weak, as long as the officers and soldiers were brave enough, they could take it by climbing the city with a ladder.

This courage is the biggest problem faced by the Qing army since the rebellion in Shandong.

If it weren't for the lack of courage, the canal town would not have been occupied by gangsters.

Before the attack, Jia Liu convened a meeting.

At the meeting, the super brave prince Rawang asked where is the main attack and where is the assist? ”

This question made Jia Liu couldn't help but be a little kind, and then said: "Lord Wang, this siege, there is no main attack, all the main attack!" ”

And said that the first to enter the city is the first to work.

As soon as the military order was issued, the ministries immediately began to prepare for the siege, and thanks to the prime minister's compassion for the officers and soldiers, the morale of the Qing troops participating in the siege was very strong.

Even the Shandong soldiers, who had been defeated repeatedly with the chief soldier, said that no matter what this time, they would also raise face for the prime minister and let him go a few more shots.

......

Before the siege, Jia Liu still ordered the artillery bombardment in the same old-fashioned manner, and demanded that all the artillery be gathered together.

The mountain-splitting cannon is a cannon group, and the small Francophile machine is a cannon crew, which shoots in turns.

It is called "platoon artillery".

It's just that before the shelling began, the bill for the loss of artillery materials and medicine had already reached the hands of Yi Jiang'a, the superintendent of the household department.

Master Yi, who was praying with Master Wang for the siege officers and soldiers, didn't have the heart to look at the accounts, and continued to eat grapes there without spitting out grape skins.

"Put!"

As the pennant fell, hundreds of mountain splitting cannons and small Francophone cannons were gathered under the scorching sun, and they bombarded the old city of Linqing.

The shrill sound of the cannon was very harsh.

With a loud "boom", a cannonball hit the head of the city, and the bricks of the city were torn apart, and the bricks flew sideways, and a soldier of the Changsheng Army who was squatting behind the battlements with his ears covered was smashed by the falling bricks and his head was bleeding, and he got up in a panic to bandage himself, but a flying cannonball directly cut off his head.

The blood-spewling headless corpse frightened the companions on the side to vomit and scream, and it was a mess.

More and more shells fell on the city, more than one unlucky man was killed, and as the shelling continued, the city soon fell into disarray.

The gate building was also hit in many places, and several people were injured by the falling building.

The screams rose and fell with each other, and many unlucky Changsheng soldiers were directly hit by the cannons, and their bodies were blown up into many pieces, and their hands and feet flew all over the sky, so it was not terrifying.

Those who were not killed on the spot only wished that they could not die early, and rolled on the ground in pain, screaming miserably.

"My eyes, my eyes!"

A small leader covered his brick-struck eyes, blood flowing out of his fingers, blurring his vision, and the broken eyeballs were carried out by his fingers, so stuck to the palm of his hand, that he couldn't even tell what it was.

Looking at the Changsheng army in chaos in the city, listening to their screams, the Qing soldiers under the city were excited and thunderous, and even Asiha, who was riding on a horse by the canal, was suddenly angry, shouted loudly, and said happily with a few beards on his chin: "This cannon is well hit, and the majesty of our Qing soldiers is out, and the morale is out!" ”

"The cannonade is indeed good, and it should be rewarded."

Prince Rawang of Chaoyong also couldn't stop nodding, but he smelled a faint smell of shame in his nose.

If you sniff carefully, you can see that the smell of urine comes from Lord Du Yushi.

During the previous shelling, Ah Da's heart trembled for a moment, and then involuntarily began to drip up.

It's just that Du Yushi himself has no idea about this.
