Chapter 154, the war against the Central Plains, the war against India.
"The bandits have been tossing in Guanzhong for almost a year, and they are not satisfied with only one Guanzhong..."
Fukangan was on horseback and was inspecting the barracks with a group of Green Flag officers.
More than 70,000 local gentry from Shandong and Anhui organized green flag soldiers rushed to Shaanzhou at once.
Qianlong also ordered the local authorities in Henan to support the grain and grass of more than 70,000 people, and also to recruit 100,000 men to work as coolies.
This Henan has now become the front line of the confrontation between the Qing court and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
Here is the poor military discipline of the Qing army, or the deliberate indulgence of Fukangan and other high-level Qing army leaders to plunder the arson looting that occurs from time to time.
This is the army of the heavenly kingdom that may break through at any time and sweep everything that is rolling north to Beijing.
It seems that the suffering of the people of Henan will not be able to stop for a while.
At this time, 100,000 people were in full swing to build fortifications.
If the army of heaven comes out of the customs, this is the place to pass.
Relying on fortifications, the army of heaven can be stopped.
Opposite.
If you want to attack the pass.
There must also be a safe place to store food.
The fortifications had to be built strong.
"It's a pity that I was busy fighting against Ming last year, which made this bandit a climate!" Fukangan said with a sigh.
"Now that the bandits have divided the land in Guanzhong, they can be regarded as having a firm foothold in Guanzhong, and it is even more difficult to deal with!" Zhang Ruowei said with a frown.
"There's nothing hard to deal with, it's better than them running around!"
Fukangan waved his hand and said.
After fighting with the Ming army for two years, he is suddenly facing a group of "normal" opponents.
Even those Heavenly Kingdom soldiers who have divided the land are very difficult to deal with, and their will to fight is very tenacious, and the equipment that these rich government soldiers buy by themselves is usually very sophisticated.
Whether it is a flintlock pistol or a variety of cold weapons, the materials are quite solid.
But that's about it.
No matter how solid the equipment is.
Do they have the same firepower as the Ming Army?
No matter how fine the armor is.
If you lift the gun, you will be pierced.
Although the equipment of the Green Flag soldiers under Fukangan is not very good.
But compared with the soldiers of the Heavenly Kingdom, there is no essential gap.
Such a war seems to be in line with all the previous war experience of Fukangan...
"The Green Flag soldiers have to be reorganized, tell everyone that after entering Guanzhong, you can let go of the robbery and let go of the fishing!"
Fukangan said.
These Green Flag soldiers are essentially regimental training organized by the township and blood ties.
It is similar to the Hunan army and the Huai army in later generations.
Compared to the Green Battalion.
This kind of army, which is linked by the villagers, and even fathers and sons and brothers serve together, has very obvious advantages.
For example, when the Green Battalion fights, they often "fail to save each other when they are defeated, and they are jealous when they win." Even though the whole army was destroyed, no one came to the rescue."
However, the Hunan army of later generations was often able to rescue each other in battle.
With a little training, it is indeed stronger than the Green Battalion soldiers.
But again, the impetus for this kind of army to fight comes from the spoils of war.
These local regimental training from Anhui and Shandong, and the fellow soldiers under the leadership of some landlords and gentry, basically came to seek money-because even if they died in battle, there were reliable people to help bring money back to the township.
In later generations, Hunan produced so many talents in modern times.
In fact, it has nothing to do with the fact that the Hunan army fought abroad and made a fortune - those poor children in Hunan who had no opportunity to receive education had the opportunity to study and progress because their elders had made a fortune by fighting (looting) abroad, and some Hunan army officers who had made a fortune returned to their hometowns to run schools.
After coming into contact with these Green Flag soldiers.
Fukangan knew how to motivate these soldiers from other provinces to fight.
As long as there is a chance to make a fortune, these Green Flag soldiers are useful.
Therefore, he made a promise to "go to the rich Guanzhong to fish for special fishing".
Anyway, on the one hand, Guanzhong is already the territory of the bandits, and the land has already been divided, and to rob the Guanzhong is to rob the bandits.
On the other hand...
Fukangan himself must know that Guanzhong is now a poor place.
Aren't those poor and crazy green battalion soldiers in the Ganshan Green Battalion from this place?
But I can't stand those old hats in Anhui and Shandong, I don't know.
After all, this bandit doesn't want to let Sichuan in the country of abundance, and he has to take Guanzhong as his home, which makes Fukangan's statement look quite ... Convincing.
Therefore, the interest of the Green Flag soldiers is quite high now.
Just wait for Lord Fukang Anfu to lead everyone to break through Tongguan and go to Guanzhong to make a fortune.
"The movement of Tongguan is not small, it seems that it is possible for the bandits to enter Henan, the bandits are good at coercing and fighting, this Shaanzhou and Henan Prefecture must be strong and clear, and all the people and grain will be collected into the pass city!"
"In addition, arrange good people in all the cities where grain is stored, and once the bandits break the city, they must sweep away everything that can be eaten! Poison the water! This official wants to let the bandits starve to death and die of thirst! ”
Fukangan asked the officials and defenders of Shaanzhou and Henan Prefecture to prepare for the fortification and clearing of the wilderness.
As long as the army of Heaven cannot be supplied on the spot, they will have to fight with long supply lines, so the bandit has nothing to fear.
........
"Hooray! Banzai! ”
Tongguan.
The Celestial Army Barracks.
More than 12,000 soldiers from the various prefectures were gathered in a neat phalanx, chanting slogans with great enthusiasm and being inspected by the Heavenly King.
These soldiers all got the grange one by one, and it was the time when they were full of ambition and at the same time extremely eager to make progress.
After all, the land of this kingdom of heaven is not evenly distributed, and of course the size of the land is different depending on the status.
From government soldiers to officers at all levels, as well as various marquis and grandfathers.
There is a strict hierarchy to distinguish between them.
And this grade is not solidified.
It's something you can see and touch.
For these soldiers who rebelled with the White Lotus Sect.
It seems that they just have to work harder.
You can also get 10,000 acres of fertile land, and the future of the princess Wandai.
Heavenly King Liu Zhixie took the lead, and behind him were Zhang Hanchao, the king of Wen, Yao Zhifu, the king of Wu, Sanhuai, the prince of Daguo, Xu Tiande, the prince of Ji, Zhang Zhengmo, the prince of Tao, and Nie Jieren, the prince of Qiguo. Read the full content on the iRead app
Because the king of the land, Qi Lin, was holding hands with the princesses, he didn't care about anything.
All of his subordinates now belong to the Heavenly King Liu Zhixie.
In addition, Zhang Hanchao and Yao Zhifu, the two princes of the heavenly kingdom, are also on the side of the heavenly king.
Therefore, Liu Zhixie's strength is definitely the strongest in this heavenly kingdom.
But at the same time.
Such as Wang Sanhuai, Xu Tiande and others.
The strength of his subordinates should not be underestimated.
This military parade.
In fact, it is a deterrent.
The more than 20,000 soldiers of the Heavenly Kingdom were all directly led by Liu Zhixie's Heavenly King's Mansion.
plus his Heavenly King fiefdom, as well as the soldiers and horses in the fiefdoms of the other three princes.
Liu Zhixie was able to control more than 60,000 troops.
And the sum of these other fathers is probably this number - here refers to the veterans who can go into battle to kill the enemy, not to make up the numbers.
Although this Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is known as a million soldiers.
But in fact, most of them are coerced to make up the numbers.
The total number of troops that can really be pulled into battle.
That's about 100,000.
In fact, this is already incredible.
With the destruction of Guanzhong.
It can also afford to raise 100,000 soldiers.
This kind of system is almost a militaristic system in which the whole society uses the strength of the whole society to raise the army.
It can burst out with great power in a short period of time.
But the same.
Under such a system.
But it must also be fought in four directions, otherwise it will backfire itself, and in the same way, once defeated... Such a system is also highly likely to collapse quickly!
"How, with such a strong army, can my Heavenly Kingdom directly smash the Yellow Dragon and defeat the Jingshi in one battle!"
Liu Zhixie was complacent, turned his head and smiled at several heavenly grandfathers behind him.
"How can Qing Tartar resist such a strong army!"
"That's how the Eight Banners of the Qing Tartars are, we killed thousands when we entered Chang'an!"
"Eight Banners can't do it, and neither can the Green Camp! I see that this Qing Tartar is already declining, and in the future, the world will be a dispute between our Heavenly Kingdom and Nanming! ”
Several Heavenly Kingdom Fathers saw the prosperity of the soldiers of the Heavenly Kingdom Mansion, and they also said happily.
"Hahahaha! The son of the Zhu family, although he has temporary luck, is not a hero after all! It already has Jiangnan, but I don't know the truth of this drum, then decline, and exhaustion! Soldiers in the south of the Yangtze River, wasted time, and actually let Qianlong return to Beijing, I am afraid that there is a small abacus of sandpiper and clam competing for fishermen's profits! With such calculations and such minds, it is a blessing to have half the world! ”
Liu Zhixie sneered.
looks like he doesn't take Da Ming in his eyes.
When the grandfathers looked at each other.
Zhang Hanchao continued: "The son of the Zhu family built a lot of construction in the south, overhauled palaces, ports, and railways, and accepted the daughters of the southern clans and the surrounding vassal states as concubines. At the beginning of his country, he was so unsympathetic to the people, and he was lustful as his life, I am afraid that he would have long been indulged in the gentle countryside of the weak Jiangnan and could not extricate himself! Jiangnan is not a place for heroes, as long as our heavenly kingdom gets the Central Plains, this world is heaven's! ”
Everyone nodded their heads when they heard this, and they all felt reasonable.
"Let the son of the Zhu family enjoy a few more years in Jiangnan, and when we get the Central Plains, we will go south to level Jiangnan and dominate the world!"
"Yes, yes, yes! In the future, I will arrest this son of the Zhu family to Chang'an, and seal what kind of duke, if you can't say anything, you have to say a word about the joy here, don't think about it.."
"Hahahaha..."
In the midst of all the discussions.
Liu Zhixie stretched out his hand, and everyone suddenly fell silent.
"This expedition, no matter what this Qing Tartar wants to do, we only have one goal!"
"To the north! Northward!! Go to Beijing, fight for the world, and make a fortune! ”
"Go to Beijing! Fight for the world! Make a fortune! ”
Time.
There was thunder of joy.
......
Just when the two forces of northern China were about to engage in a large-scale confrontation.
There is a large fleet.
It has also bypassed the southernmost tip of the South Asian subcontinent and entered the Bay of Bengal and sailed north.
The rice flag on the fleet indicates the identity of this fleet!
This is the British Eastern Intervention Fleet that departed from the British mainland and finally arrived in India after almost three months of sailing!!
In the flagship of the fleet, a 1st class sail battleship with a full load displacement of 3500 tons.
On the British Royal Navy battleship HMS Victory.
Vice Admiral Nelson, commander of the Eastern Intervention Fleet, and the new Viceroy of India of the British Empire, who came with George III's new India policy, was Richard Richard. Wellesley and the two sat in the top cabin with the best view, staring at the huge continent not far away.
"Three days to go before Calcutta!"
Richard. Wellesley said.
"Do you have any plans? Your Excellency, General? ”
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.
