Chapter 857: Emperor Jia before the army

Who shot the cannon?

The cannon fired by the Huguang Artillery Battalion.

Since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, the artillery has been attached great importance to, as early as the Guanwai Emperor Taizong boldly put forward the establishment of the Qing Dynasty's powerful artillery force this guiding spirit, thus the establishment of the Qing Dynasty's first artillery - Wuzhen Chaoha Battalion.

Later, he spent a huge amount of money to introduce and promote artillery talents from Guannai, surrender and prisoners, and the Korean army, and finally succeeded in overpowering the decaying Ming Dynasty in terms of the quantity and quality of artillery, laying the foundation for the Qing Dynasty's successful entry into China.

After the regent Dolgon led the army into the pass, the important towns in the pass that the Qing soldiers could not conquer in the past and could only make a detour, often could not hold out for even a day under the attack of the powerful artillery troops of the Qing Dynasty.

For example, the important town of Taiyuan went down in one day, such as Tongguan in half a day, such as Yangzhou cannon that was broken, such as Nanchang fell in two days...

It can be said that as soon as the heavy artillery arrived, the fortified city was destroyed.

In view of the importance of artillery, the Qing army has formed an unwritten rule for a hundred years, that is, artillery units must be given priority over other units in terms of salary, rank, and even equipment.

That is, the preparation of a high allocation level.

Moreover, the command is also firmly in the hands of the children of the banner people, and officers who are not from the flag people cannot serve as commanders of artillery units.

The artillery battalion of the Huguang Green Battalion is from the second-rank deputy general (Xiezhen), and the rest of the troops are formed at the battalion level, and the commander is the third-grade general.

The one who served as the artillery assistant town of the Huguang Green Battalion was Erda, who was born in Manchuria with the blue flag.

This person was born as a small Franco machine gunner of the Eight Banners Forward Battalion of the Central Army, and was transferred to the artillery unit of the Huguang Green Battalion last year to serve as the commander of the Sipindu Division.

After the co-organizer of the university, Niu Lunbao and others successfully seized the military power of the Huguang Green Battalion, Yonghui, who was the general Wang, naturally wanted to purge the Huguang Green Battalion in order to firmly control this elite.

The specific method is to collectively replace the middle and high-level generals, and replace all the key posts with their own people.

Similarly, artillery has also been vigorously reorganized.

As a result of the rectification, the generals from the Han Army Banner of the former artillery battalion were all transferred, and all the important posts were replaced by officers from the Eight Banners of Manchu and Mongolia in the battalion.

The reason why artillery was not transferred from the guards and coats was that the artillery was different from other arms of the armed forces and had very strong professional skills, and sending generals who did not understand artillery to command the artillery would cause a big mess.

Moreover, the attack on Xiangyang also required the artillery to make a big effort, so it was impossible for Yonghui to transfer people to take over the Huguang artillery battalion.

The specific adjustment of the artillery battalion is Yonghui's father-in-law, that is, the soldier of the military department.

Under his finalization, Eda, who was born in Manchuria, was promoted to adjutant general and became the supreme commander of the Huguang artillery battalion.

After taking office, he also behaved quite honestly, he obeyed any orders of Xingyuan, and calmed the panicked artillery unit, and participated in the attack on Hekou with the most powerful artillery unit in Huguang, and cooperated with the main force to carry out an artillery bombardment of Niuxin Village that lasted for several days.

Although it failed to completely destroy the rebel defense line of Niuxinzhai, the effect was also significant.

After the war, the blessed monk planned to give him a one-eyed flower feather and promote him to a more important position.

The one-eyed flower feather is equivalent to the Baoding Medal of the Qing Dynasty, the double-eyed flower feather is similar to the blue sky and the white sun, and the three-eyed flower feather is equivalent to the National Light Medal.

The yellow coat is probably the Order of Yunlu.

They are all commendations for outstanding soldiers in the Qing Dynasty.

At present, the leader of the rebel army, Devil Liu, has three dazzling eyes and 16 yellow coats.

In addition to the one he was given, the owner of the other two is bright, and the other is the Fengsheng who died in the previous war.

Yonghui was also very satisfied with the excellent performance of the Manchurian and Mongolian artillery generals headed by Eda.

It's just that due to the rush of time, the file materials of the artillery officer are on the side of Devil Six, so the fourth elder brother didn't have time to learn more about Eda's personal resume.

This person was born as a horse armor gunner in the forward battalion, and was ordered to carry several small Franco machine guns, and obeyed the orders of Jia Jiashikai, the prime minister of Shandong, and the minister of military affairs, to go south to quell the rebellion in Shandong.

After the Shandong bandits were pacified, Eda was transferred to the Changwei Army, which belonged to the Yamen, the commander of the infantry army, as the captain of the artillery team (the level was the five-grade defense of the guard), and later went south to Huguang with the troops.

At the same time, he is also one of the Manchurian members of the Huguang Green Camp of the Communist Association.

He is a first-class Manchurian warrior loyal to Prince Rui.

It was also Prince Rui who personally promoted him from a non-grade vest to a fourth-grade commander.

In addition to receiving the capital division, he also enjoys a special allowance of 300 taels per year.

After discovering that the higher-ups seemed to be under control, Eda planned to launch a mutiny.

However, as the mutiny was about to take place, the staff of the Secret Service secretly conveyed to him the supreme instructions from the Honorary President.

Since then, Eda has been waiting for the dawn to come.

What time does dawn come?

Now is the time.

In accordance with the supreme directive, Eda gave the artillery members an order to act.

After that, hundreds of cannons adjusted the muzzle height and adjusted the firing direction.

directly paralyzed the command center of the puppet army.

One after another, the cannonballs smashed into the place where the puppet general Wang Qi was located with a roar, and the people shouted and neighed, and the frightened war horses scurried everywhere in their sight, and the people and horses hit by the cannonballs were all smashed on the spot.

The fall of the general Wang Qi made the officers and men of the artillery battalion cheer, and also made the friendly troops in the distance let out a roar all over the mountains.

Eda, who had completed the mission, excitedly picked up the clairvoyant mirror, and in the lens, Prince Rui had turned over from the white horse and walked to the cheering officers and soldiers of the Green Battalion surrounded by countless personal guards.

Wherever the young Qing heroes went, patches of officers and soldiers lifted their spears into the sky.

Especially those officers and soldiers from Jinchuan Town, everyone burst into tears.

Many people are even blaming themselves in grief!

Because, they don't know that Devil Six is Prince Rui, their Admiral!

Otherwise, how could they have listened to the lies above and shot their beloved Admiral!

Jia Liu, who was dressed in a red robe, continued to go deeper under the crowd, he waved enthusiastically, kept greeting his loyal soldiers, and even broke through the barriers of his personal guards several times and shook hands with the officers and soldiers cordially.

Looking at the Qing Dynasty, who else loves soldiers like sons more than him.

It's just that this puts a lot of pressure on the guards who protect the prince, especially the captain of the security bureau, who doesn't dare to leave the prince for a moment, lest there are bad people hidden in these thousands of people.

"Lord Admiral!"

A distinctive shout attracted Jia Liu's attention, and following the sound, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy was looking at him with a flushed face.

He wanted to get closer, but was squeezed to the left and right by his equally excited companions.

finally squeezed out, but was stopped by the Admiral's own soldiers who were holding hands to isolate the crowd.

"It's the big tiger! Quick, let him come, let him come! ”

Jia Liu recognized this young man at a glance, wasn't it Cui Hu, the son of Cui San, who he personally came to visit in Chongqing back then.

Good guy, I haven't seen him for a few years, but the half-grown child has become a teenager taller than himself.

Hearing the prince's order, the guards hurriedly loosened a gap and let the young man run to the prince's side.

"Big Tiger, good boy, you've grown so tall!"

Jia Liuzhong slapped Cui Hu, he remembered that he arranged for Cui Hu to study in the Xiaozhai Martial Arts Academy, but he didn't expect Cui Hu to be assigned to the Huguang Green Camp.

After thinking about it, it is also right, the Huguang Green Camp was originally formed with Jinchuan Town, Sichuan Green Camp as the core, and the students of the Xiaozhai Martial Arts Academy were assigned to the Tianjin Water Division except for the two towns of Jinchuan and Chengdu.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Cui Hu is in Huguang Green Camp.

"The big tiger has kowtowed to Lord Admiral!"

Cui Hu was about to kneel, but was stopped by Jia Liuyi, and asked with a smile: "Your father, your mother, is your grandmother okay?" ”

"Lord Toto, my grandmother left the year before last! My father and my mother are fine, my father said that Lord Admiral is the savior of our Cui family, so that I have the opportunity to see Lord Admiral give adults a few good knocks! ”

Cui Hu said that he had to kneel, but Jia Liu couldn't stop him, so he went by the kid.

After he finished knocking, he helped the person up, and said with some emotion: "I also think about your father and them, I have been wanting to go back to see them in the past few years, but I have never had the opportunity, you bring me a letter to your father and your mother, let them pack up and go to the capital division, I, the admiral, invite them to take a walk and have a good time..."

I was afraid that I had forgotten about this, so I deliberately turned my head and ordered Zhuzhu to personally arrange it, that is, to select some representatives of the Sichuan Green Camp to enter Beijing, first, to attend his enthronement ceremony, and secondly, to let them take a good look at the beautiful country of the Qing Dynasty.

The bolt pillar must have written it down, and he was about to remind the young master that the Huguang Green Battalion had changed its banner, but there were still three major battalions in the puppet army, so it was not safe here.

Just as he was about to say that, suddenly a group of officers rushed to the young master and bowed down: "Long live, long live, long live!" ”

"Hooray?"

Jia Liu was stunned, suddenly his body warmed, and when he looked down, he didn't know who had draped an imperial robe on him.

When I turned my head, it was Baoning, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, and Cao Dahua, the chief soldier of Xinghan Town, as well as Lao Ah and a few of them.

"Your Majesty, the military heart is available!"

Lao Ah looked excited, he knew that there must be a yellow robe in the prince's suitcase, so he decisively picked the password lock on the prince's suitcase.

Sure enough, there were three sets of imperial robes stacked squarely inside.

One set is for enthronement, one is for daily use, and one is for worshipping the heavens.

What is now draped on Jia Liu's body is the imperial robe that is used daily.

"Your Majesty, the ministers dare to test the heart of heaven and earth, because of the interest of the summer, they will die of the above honorific titles. May Your Majesty save the love of Shun Yu to the public, the narrow nest by the festival of anti-correction, take the community as the business, do not take small acts first, worry about the head of Qian, and do not take concession as a matter. The upper is to comfort the temple is the bosom of Gu, and the lower is to relieve the hope of the whole world. The so-called life is prosperous in the withered wattles, the abundant muscles are in the rotten bones, and the gods and men are safe, and there is no misfortune. ”

Deputy Director Ji has already memorized the words of persuasion.

"Now the four seas return to the heart, the three armies obey the order, the mandate of heaven belongs to the prince, it is advisable to inherit the unification as soon as possible!"

The dog-headed military master Fan Wei and others knelt down together and shouted three long live.

Seeing this, the officers and soldiers present knelt down in the dark, and the sound of three shouts of long live resounded over the battlefield like a mountain call.

Jia Liuda was shocked: "No, after saying that the Hundred Officials Sect Conference was publicly promoted, why did you come to force me now?" ”

"The death of Ji Xuan also has its own son, and I have not heard of Tang and Wuchen supplementing it. It can be a turtle mirror, no doubt. The soil and position of the slaves are all subject to the Qing Dynasty. Your Majesty is not the emperor, and the slaves are gone! ”

Director A is righteous and resolute!

This righteous and awe-inspiring words made Jia Liu speechless, half loud, and looked at the bolt pillar: "According to the procedure, should I resign three times?" ”

"The Qing Dynasty of the young master is the Qing Dynasty of innovation, and all etiquette should be simple and complicated, and then the etiquette is still the same, what is the difference between the old Qing Dynasty?"

The bolt sleeves "horn" so much, "The atmosphere has reached this point, young master, you should follow the sky... No one wants to play with you anyway. ”
