"Qianlong really led the troops to Shengmidu!"

Zhu Daohua, who got the news, showed excitement on his face.

If Qianlong retreats on Jilong Mountain, there will be dangerous fortifications, and the Ganjiang River will be a transportation channel.

Zhu Daohua really can't help the other party - unless he is willing to spare tens of thousands of casualties.

But Boss Zhu has always been more picky, and he is reluctant to die so many people - the death of an ordinary soldier is guaranteed to be forty acres of paddy fields, and then he has to arrange the living and pension of the families of the fallen soldiers, which is conservatively estimated to cost more than ten yuan a year.

So the cost of the dead is very high.

Like the White Lotus Sect's combat method of disregarding human life, it was changed to the Ming army.

I'm afraid it's a battle.

Don't say anything else.

The Guangzhou court of the Ming Dynasty is about to go bankrupt first.

"Your Majesty, Qianlong is planning to use cavalry to attack the army in my movement, and the cavalry comes and goes like the wind, if one is not careful, he may be taken advantage of." Tao Biquan said.

Zhu Daohua frowned and turned to look at Napoleon.

"How are the ponies in Japan doing?"

"Barely qualified, at least the endurance is good, similar to the mules in southern China, the speed is not fast, but the food is less, the endurance is good, if it is only used for marching and rushing, it is not bad."

Napoleon said.

Zhu Daohua nodded.

"In this way, it is possible to form some mounted infantry, and you don't need many good horses, just ride and maneuver, dismount and fight on foot." Zhu Daohua said.

"That's right, now the attack power of the infantry is enough, and the role of the horse will be more reflected in the ability to maneuver." Napoleon agreed.

War horses are one of Zhu Daohua's most concerned things.

The horse farm in Qiongzhou Prefecture and went to India to buy good horses.

It could not support an army of cavalry in a short period of time.

However, Zhu Daohua has another source of large-scale acquisition of horses.

It's trade with Japan.

But....

Because of the evolutionary trend of species miniaturization on islands.

This Japanese creature, whether it is an animal or a human.

They are much smaller than the continental species.

For example, Japanese horses.

Genetically, Japanese horses and Mongolian horses are actually homologous, even of the same species.

But even compared to the not very tall Mongolian horses.

Japanese horses are also too short.

It's about the same as a mule or a donkey.

The shoulder height is generally only 1.2 or 1.3 meters.

Therefore, it is not suitable for use as a war horse for shock cavalry.

Therefore, these Japanese horses were only supplemented by the huntsman companies or reconnaissance companies of the brigades and battalions, and were used as reconnaissance and light cavalry sentries.

However, in the process, these hunters on small Japanese horses achieved good results.

The tactical role of mounted infantry, armed with rifled guns and Japanese horses, began to be discussed at the Ming Army Staff Headquarters.

Some veteran officers of the Ming army did not think much of the Japanese horse, which looked like a donkey, and thought that riding such a horse to fight would simply damage the honor of the soldiers.

Most of these veteran officers were "three hundred veterans" who received military education in Europe.

They don't say it's a Japanese horse.

Even Mongolian horses are not very attractive.

After all, the horses on the European side are tall and look very powerful.

However, the new generation of staff officers who have not received any "European orthodox military education" in Europe thinks.

On the premise of being able to acquire Japanese horses on a large scale.

This kind of horse can also be quite tactical.

First of all, it is possible to train the establishment of cavalry units in advance, so that the Ming army can solve the problem of "whether there is or not" tactical cavalry.

Secondly.

If you do not take into account the case of horseback impact fighting.

Riding a Mongolian horse, a Japanese horse, or a mule, or even a donkey.

Actually, the difference is not too big.

Anyway, they all ride war horses to save physical strength, maneuver quickly, dismount and fight with muskets.

It makes no difference.

With a Japanese horse that eats less and pulls less, the super durable horse is also quite low in cost.

The debate has been going on for some time.

Because the influence of the "three hundred old ministers" is still much greater than that of these new staff officers.

Therefore, the Ming army did not form a special cavalry infantry formation.

But in this confrontation with the Qing army in Jiangxi.

But Zhu Daohua saw the role of mounted infantry.

Even if the horse is a little shorter, it doesn't matter if it's a little frustrated.

The difference between having and not is quite big.

"Draw the huntsmen of each brigade and temporarily form a dragoon brigade..."

Zhu Daohua began to think about how to deal with the cavalry of the Qing army.

Tens of thousands of cavalry roamed around their own military formations, and once they started marching, it was indeed difficult to be vigilant at all times, but it was different if they also had cavalry to protect them.

"Your Majesty... I'm afraid it's difficult to form a temporary cavalry in a short period of time, right? And who will be the brigade commander? ”

Tao Biquan asked,

"It's okay, it's not used to fight in formations, it's just used to cover the army, and the enemy has a skirmish, who will be the brigade commander..."

This is indeed a problem.

This improvised dragoon brigade has no time to run in and train, and is about to go into battle.

Zhu Daohua paced back and forth a few steps.

"Luo Dingshan! Where is Luoding Mountain! Let him be this brigade commander! ”

"Uh.... The king, Luo Dingshan was picked up for launching an attack without an order, and now he is in the Military Horse Division as Bi Ma Wen..."

"Go and tell him, don't raise horses, the lonely king wants him to make meritorious deeds!"

.........

"Your Majesty, the anti-Ming army has moved, but the speed is not fast, and they are very cautious, according to their speed, I am afraid that it will take more than five days to reach Shengmidu!"

On a high slope, Qianlong, under the heavy escort of the Eight Banners Jianrui Battalion, used a telescope to inspect the town of Shengmidu, a few miles away.

This Shengmidu Town is said to be a town, but it is actually a larger township.

It is surrounded by two low walls.

At the front of Shengmidu, it was a defensive position built by the Ming army.

The main structure is the ditch and the breast wall.

This breastwork is an earthen wall of rammed earth with sandbags, which was built to facilitate musket shooting, and an earthen platform was erected behind the trench, and the breastwork wall was also built, which was set up to facilitate the formation of three-dimensional, cross-fire.

At this time, thousands of foot soldiers of the Ming army were already standing on the trench with muskets, and a hot air balloon had already risen into the air at dawn.

This equipment can raise the army's line of sight to the air.

Qianlong was naturally envious, and his eyes were red.

But the craftsmen of the Qing Dynasty failed to make it - it was really simple in principle, in fact, it was a large Kong Ming lantern.

But it would be too difficult to make a Kong Ming lantern to the point where it could lift at least one person into the air.

It is almost impossible to solve the problem of materials without solving the problem, unless people are treated as consumables - but the kind of talent who can observe the movement of the enemy army at high altitude, and can concisely and accurately describe the state of the enemy army through flags and letters, is not something that can be obtained casually.

At least some training.

In this way, even if the Qing army made the kind of large-sized Kong Ming lantern that took people into the air, if it could not ensure safety, it would be... Unaffordable.

This kind of talent is not a consumable, and if one dies, another one can come right away.

With this "large Kong Ming lantern".

Unless the Qing army launched a night attack, all their movements were carried out under the supervision of the Ming army.

Therefore, the Qing army is not ready for any intrigues and tricks.

Anyway, your troop movement is happening right under people's noses.

Directly on the north bank of a small stream two miles away from Shengmidu Town, he set up a village, intending to eat this Ming army by virtue of the superiority in troops.

At this time, smoke was already rising behind the two earthen walls of Shengmidu, and it seemed that these refugees who had been looted by the Qing army and shattered their homes were preparing breakfast.

You can also vaguely see strong men holding improvised spears to maintain order and patrol.

Qianlong's brows tightened.

When all these people survive, they will definitely be the mortal enemies of the Qing Dynasty.

These Jiangxi people must be the most hated by the Qing Dynasty, and may be even more than the Cantonese people - the Cantonese people were slaughtered by the Qing army more than a hundred years ago, and these Jiangxi people were driven out of their homes by the Qing army a few days ago, looting all their belongings, and many young women were robbed, and now they don't know what they have been ruined.

If the Ming army did not take them in.

These displaced people on the Ganbei Plain are not much of a threat.

This has been since ancient times.

Human lives in the midst of war are like mustard.

No army will spend its precious rations to collect the homeless.

And now Zhu Daohua has just done it!!

That reverse Ming wants to do this kind of thing that seems to bind his hands and feet when the two sides are fighting. He knew very well that once these Jiangxi people were organized by the Ming Dynasty, there would definitely be a large number of people joining the army, and when he thought of the Ming Dynasty, he would immediately have more than 100,000 or 200,000 people armed, and he hated the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty very much.

Qianlong couldn't help but feel a chill in his back.

It's hateful!

Don't even want to live any of these Jiangxi Yankees!

Qianlong thought viciously.

And...

Aren't you, Zhu Daohua, trying to collect the displaced people?

Then I will create more homeless people in Jiangnan, but I want to see... How are you going to feed these people!

Qianlong put down the telescope in his hand.

"After this battle, in the land of northern Jiangxi, the stone will be overstabbed, the house will be overfired, and the people will be killed!" Qianlong's voice was a little cold.

When Le Bao heard this, he was about to say something, but was stopped by Qianlong with a wave of his hand.

"Up to now, these Diao people must be extremely hateful to the Qing Dynasty, so in this battle, these people must not live! Le Bao, first order a team of elite soldiers to test it, and see how much more ability the Guangdong Zhongyong Battalion has now in this 17th Brigade against the Ming Dynasty! ”

"Minions command!"

Lebao was just about to take his orders.

Qianlong grabbed him, lowered his voice and instructed: "Use the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Battalion and the Baoyi Army to fight, and the capital of our Eight Banners can't be taken out casually and consumed." ”

Qianlong did not have the whimsy to defeat Zhu Daohua this time.

On the one hand, he wanted to win a victory to consolidate the morale of the army.

On the other hand.

I also want to see with my own eyes how this Ming army fought.

And the lives of tens of thousands of Han people in Jiangxi, he didn't care about it.

But after seeing those Jiangxi strong men carrying spears,

And he became murderous.

If these people live, they will be the scourge of the Qing Dynasty!

After the endless coma, Shi Yu suddenly got up from the bed. If you want to watch the latest chapters, please download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters for free without ads.

He took a big breath of fresh air, and his chest trembled.

Confused, incomprehensible, all kinds of emotions come to my heart.

Where is this?

Then, Shi Yu subconsciously looked around, and then became even more dazed.

A single dormitory?

Even if he had managed to be rescued, he would have been in the ward by now.

And their own bodies...... How could it be that there was no injury at all.

With doubts, Shi Yu's gaze quickly swept from the room, and finally his gaze stayed on a mirror at the head of the bed.

The mirror reflected his current appearance, about seventeen or eighteen years old, and his appearance was very handsome.

But the problem is, it's not him! Download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters ad-free and free

The previous self was a handsome young man in his twenties who had been working for a while.

And now, no matter how you look at it, this appearance is only the age of a high school student......

This change made Shi Yu stunned for a long time.

Don't tell him that the operation was a success......

The body and face have changed, and this is not a question of surgery or not surgery at all, but immortal magic.

He's a different guy altogether!

Don't...... Did you cross by yourself?

In addition to the mirror at the head of the bed, which was obviously not good in feng shui, Shi Yu also found three books next to it.

Shi Yu picked it up and looked at it, and the title of the book instantly silenced him.

"Essential Animal Breeding Manual for Novice Breeders"

Postpartum Care for Pet Animals

"Alien Beast Ear Girl Evaluation Guide"

Shi Yu: ???

The names of the first two books are quite normal, but what are you doing with the last one?

"Ahem."

Shi Yu's eyes were solemn and he stretched out his hand, but his arm quickly stiffened.

Just as he was about to open the third book to see what it was, his brain stabbed violently, and a flood of memories flooded back.

Icefield City.
