progressive

I am all Yan Shenggong, where can I progress?

Kong Qingrong paused.

Then I heard Wang Dingjia stretch out his finger and break his finger to count Yan Shenggong.

"Holy Father, there are 40,000 soldiers in this Shandong regiment and 30,000 soldiers in the Zhili regiment, and they have all fought with the bandits of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, have been in battle, and have seen blood, so this can be regarded as an elite veteran."

Kong Qingrong felt that it was wrong, what kind of veteran could these 70,000 rabble be?

However, Wang Dingjia did not wait for him to question, and continued: "Now there are hundreds of thousands of people from all over the capital who have come from all over the city, and there may even be millions of people!" And a considerable part of the banner people have been transferred to the Naturalization City, so now there are many Han people in this capital and few banner people."

Isn't this since the Qing Dynasty all Han people have more Han people and fewer flag people, Kong Qingrong thought.

In addition, the Qing Tartar Emperor led the troops outside, and there were not many generals who could lead the troops to fight in the capital, at most there was a Mongolian general Delentai, but he was a Mongolian, and there was no way to pinch the banner people in Beijing."

When Wang Dingjia said this, he looked at Kong Qingrong and said: "If the Holy Father comes forward, I don't know how many Han people in this capital don't want to be coerced to go to the grassland and the Western Regions." ”

"Holy Father, don't miss the opportunity, it won't come again. If you have the merit of preserving a city in the northern capital, even if you are not a descendant of a saint, you can also have the position of a prince! ”

That's true.

If someone can leave the northern capital with all beards and tails to Emperor Zhu before Qianlong leaves, Emperor Zhu will be willing to make a prince.

"Holy Father, rest assured, there are many people in the army of the Son of Heaven who have entered the Northern Capital, you and I are not alone!" Wang Dingjia pulled Kong Qingrong and said.

Kong Qingrong took a deep breath.

The Great Tomorrow Son is pro-army, isn't that Jinyiwei.

And on the one hand, Kong Qingrong doesn't want to go to the Western Regions, and on the other hand, now that the Ming Dynasty is about to have all the world, Kong Qingrong of course has to hurry up and think about the Ming Dynasty.

Their old Confucian family is to be covered by the blind, and the fullness is to be full.

Now that Da Ming is here, of course they have to open up.

After all, Lao Kong's family eats this bowl of rice.

And this bowl of rice can be eaten in China, out of the land of China, the old Kong family is not so popular.

It's because the Ming Dynasty Jinyiwei is so famous, Fukangan plundered so many people into the capital at one time, and each of the hundreds of Jinyiwei in it is not normal.

If you can really make a contribution in this battle of "seizing the northern capital".

Kong Qingrong thought about it in his heart, on the one hand, the future of going to the Western Regions to eat yellow sand, and on the other hand, the future of Yan Shenggong, how to choose.

After some weighing, Kong Qingrong gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

For the future of Confucius.

Yan Shenggong, too, is going to fight!

Qianlong is also going to fight.

At this moment.

The dragoons led by Zhao Si caught up with Qianlong in Gaoyang County, Baoding Prefecture, and a battle ensued.

Meantime.

The scout who scattered out returned.

Emperor Zhu's guards advanced quickly.

The Guards Regiment did not carry the people who accompanied the army, and the marching speed of the whole mule and horse was extremely fast, and it had already chased into Baoding Mansion in a few days.

"Your Majesty, the five thousand mule soldiers of the Ming Rebellion Northern Expeditionary Army are ten miles east of our face, and the Reverse Ming Guards Corps will be able to feel Gaoyang in two days at most."

Eledeng Bao rode a horse to report to Qianlong.

"In two days, the Guards Regiment had 27,000 men, plus a brigade of mule soldiers from the Northern Expeditionary Corps"

Qianlong stared at the map.

After a moment, he asked, "Where is Zhao Si now?" ”

"Because the Anti-Ming Northern Expedition has a large number of soldiers and civilians, and at the same time has to protect the military rations, the speed of the march is very slow, and it is still near Wuji County, Zhengding Prefecture." An officer of the Eight Banners stood up and said.

On the northern battlefield, both sides have a large number of cavalry, so it is easy to roughly determine the approximate location of the opponent's main force.

On such an open battlefield.

The position of the main corps is difficult to hide.

"Wuji County, it will take at least fifteen days for Zhao Si to rush to the battlefield at the current speed. Even if he abandons his heavy grain and grass, it will take at least five days to travel lightly! ”

"Five days." Qianlong groaned.

"Zhu Daohua's military rations are running out." Qianlong muttered.

In Qianlong's opinion.

The grain road is Zhu Daohua's biggest weakness, or the only place where the Qing army can take advantage.

"Your Majesty, judging from the route of Zhu Daohua's march during this time, he will repair somewhere after three days of rapid marching, and the place he chooses to repair is very likely to be the place where Zhao Si hoarded some of the grain in advance, so his guard corps can most likely only carry no more than five days' worth of military rations without relying on the grain route!"

Fukangan judged.

"In other words, if I fight with him in Anyang, he can hold out for five days at most." Qianlong said.

"No, not five days." Fukangan shook his head.

"The Anti-Ming Guards set out only a day ago, and it takes two days to get here, which means that they only have two days of food. If you can block Zhao Si's passage to transport grain to the Guards Corps, and at the same time block the Guards Corps' breakthrough for three days, you only need to block it for three days, and the Guards Corps against the Ming Dynasty and the puppet emperor will be short of food! ”

Fukangan gritted his teeth and said.

"Three days, three days!"

Qianlong took a deep breath.

He retreated all the way before, because the Ming army had been operating for more than half a year in the Daimyo Mansion and the Southwest Lu Prefecture, and a lot of grain wars had been established.

And now Qianlong has retreated all the way to Baoding Mansion, which is looking for a test to find out the law of grain transportation of the Ming army and the grain reserves of each corps itself.

Before Emperor Zhu made up for it every three days.

It can basically be judged that the military rations that Emperor Zhu's guards and battalions can carry are only five days at most.

Baoding had never been controlled by the Ming army before.

Plus a daimyo mansion.

It is impossible for the Ming army to stock up on grain in advance, so .

Emperor Zhu's current grain supply must rely on the grain routes in the rear.

Therefore, as long as Emperor Zhu is surrounded in Anyang and resisted for three or four days, then Emperor Zhu's guards will be short of food.

"Zhu Daohua has made a mistake in lightly advancing against the enemy, not to mention that our army has been practicing the art of muskets hard in recent days, such as today is the world of muskets and artillery, our army has 80,000 musketeers, and there are 90,000 iron cavalry, what is the difficulty of surrounding Zhu Daohua for three or four days? It seems that Anyang is the siege of Emperor Zhu's Baideng! My Qing Dynasty's national fortunes are coming back! ”

The Qing Dynasty was defeated along the way, and it seems that it can really see a glimmer of light.

"After this battle, my Qing Dynasty can at least keep Zhili, Shandong, Shaanxi, and threaten Henan to the south, plus the desert south and the Western Regions, my Qing Dynasty is still the country of the Celestial Empire, as long as I work hard, the Pseudo-Ming will be defeated by my Qing Dynasty sooner or later, the world, or the world of my Qing Dynasty!"

Qianlong said heroically to cheer up the Qing generals present.

The minions present also gave the lord face.

"This meeting will definitely be a mistake against the Ming Puppet Emperor!"

"If the enemy advances, he will be defeated!"

"Is there an invincible commander in the world?"

Everyone cheered themselves up, and when they shouted louder, they could relieve the phobia in their hearts a little.

Although Qianlong also had some apprehension in his heart, on the whole, he felt that there was no problem with his arrangement.

First of all, in the military, his infantry array was arranged in Anyang, and the cavalry was arranged to be a flank ambush in Anyang Mountain on the east side of Anyang and the Pig Penn Mountain on the west side, and a pocket array was arranged, just waiting for Emperor Zhu to collide head-on, and he walked into this pocket by himself, and then surrounded on all sides, trapping Emperor Zhu in the encirclement, and after a few days, the Ming army should be out of food and retreat, when the time comes. With cavalry pursuit, a great victory will be obtained.

secondly

It's that the name Pigpen Mountain is too auspicious - of course it is auspicious for the Qing Dynasty.

Pig cage.

Zhu Cage.

A cage that held Emperor Zhu.

It's so kind.

Although Qianlong is a native of the Northeast - uh, a native of the Northeast who was born in Beijing.

But the opponents in these years were mainly Cantonese and the Ming Dynasty.

He'd heard about it.

Emperor Zhu is a bit superstitious.

It seems that he can also pinch and calculate.

For example, the time when he ascended the throne and became emperor did not look at Mr. Feng Shui, but decided on October 1 of the first year of restoration.

According to himself, this day is particularly auspicious.

There is also the location of the military academy of the Ming Army, which was actually chosen in that remote place in Huangpu, and the reason is also very auspicious.

Originally, Qianlong scoffed at this.

But with the past few years, Emperor Zhu's "luck" has been getting better and better.

Qianlong felt that this kind of thing would rather be believed than not exist.

So I specially chose Anyang County, next to Pigpen Mountain.

To fight a decisive battle with Emperor Zhu.

Pigpen Mountain.

This time, see how else you Emperor Zhu can make a move!

However, these are all metaphysics, and of course Qianlong will not pin his hopes on metaphysics.

Rather, after full analysis and thinking, combined with a little bit of metaphysics.

This time.

Qianlong has regained some confidence a little.

Although the fortunes of the Qing Dynasty continued to decline under his wise leadership, they are now about to fall and are about to be forced to delist.

But this does not mean that Qianlong is an incompetent and dumb lord.

As a matter of fact.

Qianlong has also been able to cheer up very much over the years.

He continued to make changes in the military and the Eight Banners system, although most of them were expedient measures for the time being.

But it has to be said.

If it weren't for Qianlong's tossing, the Qing Dynasty would really not be able to hold on to the present.

This is the case with today's reform of the Big Eight Banners.

After touching Zhao Si a few times.

Qianlong decisively judged that the way the Mongol cavalry fought with scimitars and bows and arrows was useless in this era.

Therefore, in order to play the role of the Mongol soldiers, it is still necessary to equip them with muskets and learn from the mule soldiers of the Ming army.

Horseback maneuvering.

Dismount and line up.

And his Eight Banners have basically abandoned the ancestral tradition of "skillful archers and horses" in these years of war.

Instead, it formed a method of warfare with flintlock guns, mortar cannons, field guns and other firearms as the core, lined up to shoot, scatter ambushes, cavalry assaults, and artillery bombardment to oppose the Ming army.

I guess I haven't won much.

But such an army can be regarded as advanced in Europe - because the Great Eight Banners that entered the country are also "advanced Eastern armies" equipped with a large number of flowering bombs.
