Jiujiang.

Su Yu and Ba Xia Li conducted the final military exercises.

Even this deduction, Su Yu has been carried out many times in the group.

For this reason, Su Yu even made a sand table model.

The military strength of both sides is also completely clear at a glance.

There were more than 100,000 troops on the Changzhou battlefield, and Su Yu did not make a sand table, and he did not even go to the scene.

But he put all his energy on the battlefield in Dagukou.

Because of the second battle of Dagukou in history, the Qing court was victorious, and it was a big victory.

In this world, the situation has undergone a series of changes.

In the second battle of Dagukou in history, there were 4,000 Qing troops and more than 1,000 marines from the British and French coalition forces.

And in this world, the Qing army was 14,000 people, and the British and French forces were 3,700 marines.

Historically, the Dagukou Fort had a total of 141 artillery pieces, including 11 heavy guns of more than 10,000 catties.

In this world, Dagukou Fort has 189 artillery pieces and 19 heavy artillery pieces of more than 10,000 catties. And also add three artillery battalions of the Tianjin New Army, a total of 93 artillery pieces.

In this battle in history, there were only 13 warships of the British and French forces.

And in this world, there are twenty-seven coalition warships.

The power of both sides has changed so much that the outcome has become somewhat difficult to judge.

Compared to history, the number of warships of the Anglo-French forces was twice as large, and the number of marines was twice as large.

However, the artillery strength of the Qing army was more than doubled, and the defenders were more than three or four times larger.

Su Yu had done seven deductions before.

And today is the last deduction, there must be a result, and according to this result, the layout is made.

Of course, a few months ago, or even half a year ago, it was already the first deduction and layout in the group.

Shen Baozhen said: "According to the calculation of time, the second battle of Dagukou may break out either tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. We have to make a decision. ”

Su Yu said: "Sir Basha, this last deduction, you judge the final result." ”

Ba Xia Li stood up and said: "In this war, Count Ergin is too underestimated by the enemy, and even if he gets comprehensive information, he completely underestimates the Qing court's will to fight, and even underestimates the Qing court's combat effectiveness this time. ”

"This time he dispatched 27 warships, which is barely enough, but after attacking Dalian and Yantai, he left four warships to garrison the two places, which is the so-called blockade of Bohai Bay, so there are only 23 warships that really participated in the battle of Dagukou."

"In the last battle of Dagukou, the Qing army learned a lesson, upgraded most of its artillery, and increased the range, so it was no longer passively beaten, but still able to fight back at the warships of the coalition forces."

"The most critical Marine Corps is only 3,700 men. Although this number was 1,700 more than in the last battle of Dagukou, it was still because of Dalian and Yantai, he sent 800 men to stay in the two places, so only 2,900 people were actually used for landing operations. ”

"On the side of the Qing army, Ronglu's 7,000 new army, although its combat effectiveness is not as good as Su Lu's new army, but it is also stronger than the other armies of the Qing court, plus Seng Lingqin's high will to fight, a total of 14,000 defenders, which is about five times that of the British and French marines."

"So, I'm not optimistic about the outcome of this fight."

"I think this battle, the Qing Dynasty will win for the first time in history."

Then, Basha saluted: "Count Ergin is too light on the enemy, he should wait until the coalition forces are all assembled, and the total strength exceeds 30,000 men." Then the troops were divided into two places, the navy surrounded Dagukou, and the army landed directly in Beitang, flanking Dagukou in front and back, and then attacking Tianjin, so as to achieve the greatest results. ”

"However, because the previous war was too smooth, he was full of contempt for the Qing army."

In this way, regarding the second battle of Dagukou, the last military exercise ended.

Judging that it will still be like in history, the Qing court won this battle.

However, it will probably be a bit more disastrous.

Half a year ago, Su Yu had discussed in the group, should he find a way to change the result of the second battle of Dagukou?

The final resolution is passed and cannot be changed.

Because, once Count Ergin won the Second Battle of Dagukou, then the Qing court would directly kneel and fully recognize the Tianjin Treaty and directly fulfill it.

In that case, the next Battle of Bali Bridge, when the British and French forces attacked the capital, may not happen.

In this way, the emperor will not flee north, nor will he die, and Su Yao's plan to enter the center will be stranded.

However, when the Earl of Elgin was in the English Parliament, he was shouting that he would attack the capital, that he would break through the palace, and that he would force the emperor to personally recognize and fulfill these treaties.

However, looking at the posture, he only brought 3,700 troops, and even the army that actually landed at Dagukou was only 2,900 troops.

It's not like a posture to storm Beijing.

Only when the second Battle of Dagukou fails, will Count Ergin be more sober and gather an army of 20,000 or 30,000, which will lead to the collapse of the Qing court.

Moreover, in this battle, it is best to achieve one effect, that is, to cripple Ronglu's Tianjin New Army.

In this way, Su Yu will enter the center in the future, and there will be no military opponents.

And according to Su Yu's plan, the British and French forces attacked the capital, Su Yu completed the bet with the British, Prince Albert successfully held the 1860 World Exposition, and then Su Yu came forward to save the sky and enter the center.

This series has to be interlocked.

Therefore, in this second battle of Dagukou, the defeat of the British side is more in line with the interests of Su Yu.

In this way, Su Yu will have to complete the final deployment.

………………………………

At this time, Hong Renli was negotiating with Lin Shaozhang.

"Even now, you still want to fight?" Hong Renli said speechlessly: "As long as the battle starts on the battlefield in Changzhou, the tens of thousands of troops on Zeng Guofan's side will enter northern Anhui and officially attack Anqing." ”

"You go and ask Hong Xiuquan, you go and ask Hong Renji, is Changzhou important, or Anqing is important."

Of course, Anqing is important, the Taiping Army occupied most of Anhui, and completely became Tianjing's food base, living material base, and has been in business for a long time.

In Changzhou, Danyang, Wuxi and other places, it has changed hands repeatedly in the past six months, and the Taiping Army has no time to operate.

Whether it is Su Yu or Hong Renli, they don't want to fight the battle of Changzhou.

However, Hong Renji, Li Xiucheng, and Chen Yucheng are enthusiastic.

Lin Shaozhang said helplessly: "Tianjing, I was angered by you. ”

When Hong Xiuquan and Hong Renji heard that in just three days, Danyang had fallen, Wuxi had fallen, and Changzhou had fallen, they were completely incredulous and shocked.

Wasn't Su Yu's army in Zhoushan? Isn't it a war with foreigners?

Why did they return to Changzhou in just a few days, can they fly?

Moreover, Changzhou and Danyang fell so quickly, Tianjing had not yet reacted, and the fastest cavalry was still halfway there, and these two cities fell.

After being shocked, it is to be enraged.

Su Shao, you deceived people too much, and the sailors who attacked our heavenly kingdom were just that, and they also secretly occupied the three cities of Changzhou, Danyang, and Wuxi.

After the anger, the Taiping army was clamoring for a decisive battle.

Lin Shaozhang said: "According to their intentions, unless you unconditionally cede Changzhou, you can only fight a decisive battle to the end." ”

Hong Renli has no words to express the anger in his heart.

Is this, is this brain-dead?

Our Jiujiang and the Taiping Army are half enemies and half friends, and in the past two years, cooperation has been greater than struggle.

The Qing court is your mortal enemy, and Zeng Guofan is your mortal enemy.

You're going to have a fart with us.

You and I are fighting here, leaving northern Anhui empty, so that the Hunan army will attack your core town of Anqing?

Lin Shaozhang said hoarsely: "I, I can't stop them." ”

After the loss of Yang Xiuqing, although the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had fierce generals, the military strategic deployment was really a mess.

Shi Dakai shouted for a decisive battle because he had ill intentions.

Hong Renji clamored for a decisive battle because they wanted to defeat southern Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

However, as long as Su Yu is in charge of the Seven Provinces Covenant, the markets of the entire southern Jiangsu and Zhejiang can also be opened to you.

Can't you fight well towards the north?

Hong Renli said slowly: "If you want to fight, then fight, you fools, you should have died a long time ago!" ”

Then, Hong Renli left directly.

On the Yangtze River, Su's boats and Hong Renli converged.

"The negotiations failed." Hong Ren said: "My lord, after Tianjing is destroyed in the future, Chen Yucheng and Li Xiucheng are two wastes, don't stay." ”

"If it weren't for these two fools, Tianjing wouldn't have torn up the secret contract and started the Eastern Crusade."

"If it weren't for these two idiots, we would definitely fight for a victory, the battle situation in Changzhou would be resolved peacefully, and our tens of thousands of troops would be able to get out of trouble and do other things."

In this war, the culprits are really Hong Renji, Li Xiucheng, and Chen Yucheng.

Hong Renji is just that, Su Yu has never felt much about this person, but he still has a historical beauty for Li Xiucheng and Chen Yucheng.

He cherished the talents of both of them.

As a result, these two young people were too reckless.

Hong Renli suddenly said: "My lord, Chen Yucheng and Li Xiucheng are probably jealous of you, because you are young, because you are famous." Moreover, countless women and countless brothers in Tianjing have come to Jiujiang to seek refuge in you, and even I have followed you, they want to prove themselves, so they desperately want to defeat you. ”

Su Yu said: "You and they are not the same generation, and they dare to covet you?" ”

Hong Ren said: "Don't you understand the thoughts of young people? A lot of hostility, just a thought is enough. ”

Su Yu said: "Then let's fight, hit them hard." ”

"It's a pity that I don't have any extra troops in my hands anymore, otherwise I can attack Zhenjiang!"

At this time, the main forces of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom were all gathered on the battlefield of Changzhou, and Zhenjiang became empty.

And once Zhenjiang is taken, it is equivalent to asking for the lifeblood of the Taiping army.

Hong Ren left and said: "Xu Youren, Zhang Guoliang, Feng Zicai, Wang Shiqing, and Lin Li are all on the battlefield in Changzhou, are you really not going to preside over this battle?" ”

Su Yu said: "The big battle with the Taiping Army, usually there is not much skill, I don't need me anymore, I have more important things." ”

Hong Renli gently snuggled in Su Yu's arms and said, "Do you have to go north?" ”

Su Yu said: "Yes, I want to compete with the imperial court for righteousness, without righteousness, it will be difficult to take charge of the center in the future." ”

Hong Ren said: "Is this the last time?" ”

Su Yu said: "Yes, this is the last time, in a few months, the court will be finished, and the emperor will be finished." ”

Hong Renli said: "It's really difficult to do things, there are still a bunch of fools in our Taiping Army who will hold you back." ”

"Hold it for a while, it's three minutes, it's three minutes!"

Three minutes later, the two separated.

Hong Renli sailed south to the Changzhou battlefield.

"Ah Li." Su Yu said: "After this war, it is a scourge for us to find a way to let Hong Renda and Hong Renfa do their work, drive away Hong Renji, and even kill him." ”

Hong Ren said: "Okay, kill him!" ”

Then, Su Yu sighed again, it would be nice if there was another army.

And at this time, a huge fleet of ships came in the west.

Two flags flew over the flotilla.

Huai, left!

Su Yu couldn't help but tremble, this ...... Could this be Zuo Zongtang?

When they got closer, on the bow of the boat, who was Zuo Zongtang?

Su Yu was immediately overjoyed and boarded Zuo Zongtang's big ship.

"Marshal, I am ordered by the Seven Provinces Covenant to lead an army of 7,000 to support."

Seven thousand?! So much? Where did you get your army?

Su Yu was speechless for a moment.

Zeng Guofan had an army of nearly 100,000 in his hands and sent 1,300 men.

You Zuo Zongtang served as the prefect of Luzhou, it's only been more than half a year, when did you have 7,000 troops?

Now Anhui governor Li Xubin, political envoy Li Hongzhang, Luzhou prefect Zuo Zongtang.

The relationship between the three people is very complicated, Zuo Zongtang has the lowest official position, but he is the most domineering and the most tough.

At this time, the relationship between him and Li Hongzhang was already on the same page.

This time, Su Yu asked Zeng Guofan for help, and the Hunan army sent more than 1,000 people to search and search, and it was determined that after Su Yu's army completely occupied Changzhou, more than 1,000 people rushed to Changzhou slowly.

Even secretly Zeng Guoquan and the British reached some kind of secret agreement.

Zuo Zongtang was very angry, pointed at Zeng Guofan and said, don't you have your share in the covenant of the seven provinces?

Su Yu, Xu Youren, Wang Youling, and Tian Yugong have all done their best, is the Xiang army just sitting on the sidelines here?

The decisive battle in Changzhou is about to break out, once the hundreds of thousands of troops on both sides start, who will be the biggest beneficiary?

Isn't it the Hunan Army? Isn't that you, Zeng Guofan?

As the biggest beneficiary, why did you stand by and send more than a thousand reinforcements? People are dispatching tens of thousands.

Sharing a bed and having different dreams, should it be so obvious?

Zeng Guofan wanted to defend very much, and wanted to say that the Hunan army could join the Seven Provinces Alliance, which was already the greatest support, and the interests of the two sides were not completely identical, and so on.

However, these words really can't be said to Zuo Zongtang.

Because of the fanciful words, it can't change the fact that Su Yu, the leader of the alliance, has done his best for the seven southern provinces.

It can't be changed that the biggest beneficiary of the Changzhou War was the Hunan Army.

People are working hard for you, how are you embarrassed to watch from the sidelines?

In the past six months or so since he served as the prefect of Luzhou, Zuo Zongtang trained three or four thousand soldiers by himself, and took three thousand people from Li Xubin and Li Hongzhang, a total of 7,000 people, to support Su Yu's Changzhou battlefield.

Xiang Jun had different dreams in the same bed, but Zuo Zongtang was desperate.

Su Yu suddenly bowed deeply to Zuo Zongtang.

Zuo Zongtang bowed lower towards Su Yu and sighed: "There are also many insects in the Hunan army, which makes the big marshal smile." ”

Then, he said, "Where are you going?" Don't you go to the Changzhou battlefield? Shall we go together? ”

Su Yu said: "I want to go north, the emperor's will is coming, the court wants to start a war with foreigners, and I am ordered to lead the army north to support." ”

Zuo Zongtang was stunned and said, "You, are you really going to go?" ”

Su Yu said: "The reason why the alliance of the seven southern provinces of our country can be established is because of the great righteousness, against the unequal treaty, to protect the Yangtze River, and to protect the people. We attacked the imperial court, so that the other party had no place to fight back, and it was also because of the righteousness that Yishan and Guiliang lost their power and humiliated the country, betrayed the country, and betrayed the people. Now the imperial court decided to start a war with the foreigners, negating the Treaty of Aihui and the Treaty of Tianjin. ”

"My seven southern provinces, if you don't send troops to help, you will lose your righteousness!"

Zuo Zongtang said: "However, we are also in the south of the country, and the two sides will send hundreds of thousands of troops, which is also Kuang Fu Sheji." ”

Su Yu said: "Mr. Ji Gao, all the people in the world don't look at this, you didn't go, you just didn't go." ”

"And I, as the leader of the Seven Southern Provinces Alliance, once I go, it is enough to prove everything."

More importantly, after repeated deductions, Su Yu felt that the Qing court should be able to win the second battle of Dagukou.

Then, he must seek the greatest political fruits from this victory.

After hearing Su Yu's words, Zuo Zongtang also bowed deeply to Su Yu and said: "The leader of the alliance is Gao Yi, and he is bowed by Zuo. ”

Zuo Zongtang came to the battlefield in Changzhou, and Su Yu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

In this way, not only is the Changzhou battlefield more stable, but the victory rate is higher.

Moreover, Su Lu's plan to attack Zhenjiang can also be carried out.

Then, Su Yu and Zuo Zongtang separated.

Zuo Zongtang led the fleet and continued to move eastward, first going to the direction of Zhenjiang, from where he entered the canal to the south and entered the Changzhou battlefield.

Returning to his boat, Su Yu ordered: "Pass the order to Wang Shiqing and others, once the Changzhou battlefield is won, the new army will immediately get on the boat and attack Zhenjiang as quickly as possible along the canal!" ”

"Yes!" The messenger immediately took another ship and headed for the Changzhou battlefield.

At this time, the entire Yangtze River channel was densely packed with ships.

A steady stream of materials was transported to the Changzhou battlefield.

………………………………

Next, Su Yu arrived at Wuchang along the Yangtze River as fast as possible to meet Zeng Guofan.

"Zeng Gong, I think it's still necessary for me to come and see you." Su Yu said: "I want to lead the army north to support the imperial court." ”

Zeng Guofan was shocked and couldn't believe it.

Su Yu couldn't explain much to him at all, and said, "I know that you and we have different views on the covenant of the seven southern provinces. I even think that if you can join, it will be the greatest help to us. ”

"This time the Changzhou battlefield, the Zhoushan battlefield, no matter what, you dispatched 1,800 people, and I also admit it."

"Brother Ling Zeng Guoquan had a secret conversation with the British, no matter what the talks were, it didn't matter if it hurt my interests, I don't care too much."

As soon as these words came out, Zeng Guofan's face suddenly became complicated.

Of course, Zeng Guoquan's negotiations with the British were top secret, but because of Ba Xia Li and Bao Ling, Su Yu could be said to be the most abundant in information about the British.

"Zeng Gong, I understand you very well about the Changzhou battlefield and watching the tiger fight. Xu Youren and Wang Youling and I poured all our troops into Changzhou, in order to delay the main force of the rebellion and create an opportunity for you to attack Anqing. ”

"On this point, I am very happy and wish you success in attacking Anqing."

"The Covenant of the Seven Southern Provinces, as long as we are together, I will maintain the existence of this Covenant."

Su Yu's face became serious, and he said, "But the next words, please remember Zeng Gong." ”

"The Seven Provinces Covenant is very important, not only for us, but also for you, don't think about quitting at any time, really!"

"If Zeng Gong feels that the so-called Seven Provinces Alliance is just a tool for my Su Yu to seek political power, then in the near future, I can give up the position of alliance leader, and you, Zeng Disheng, will take over the position of alliance leader."

Zeng Guofan was about to refute, he didn't care about the position of the alliance leader at all.

Su Yu said: "Don't refute me, you remember my next words." ”

"The Seven Provinces Covenant is important, but I, the leader of the alliance, are not important."

"In order to keep the Seven Provinces Alliance, I took the risk of going north to support the imperial court."

"In order to keep the Seven Provinces Alliance, you Zeng Guofan can do whatever you want next."

"The position of Governor of Liangjiang, we can do our best to fight for you. For the sake of this position, you can make all statements. ”

"But you also have to do your best to preserve the unity and interests of the Seven Provinces Covenant.

"What if...... Because of you, the Seven Provinces Covenant was dismantled, so I won't let you go. ”

The rest of the words, Su Yu didn't say.

also deliberately did not say it thoroughly.

If because of the Zeng Domain, the Seven Provinces Covenant was broken and dismantled.

That Su Yu will probably go to destroy the Zeng family in the future.

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Zeng Guofan to get angry, Su Yu directly said goodbye and left.

His words were very informative, because they contained a lot of things that had not happened, so Zeng Guofan couldn't understand them at this time.

But with his political wisdom, he will definitely understand when these things happen in the future.

And now he probably only has anger.

Because Su Yu directly pierced that layer of window paper, the relationship between the two sides was a little undignified.

……………………………………

Su Yu stayed in Wuchang for only half an hour, and then boarded a ship and headed south along the Yangtze River.

When passing through Jiujiang, there was no stop.

Three armed merchant ships, two gunboats, and 800 elite recruits are waiting for Su Tuo here.

After the confluence!

The fleet headed east, not at the mouth of the Yangtze River in Shanghai, because it was too dangerous here.

Instead, after arriving at Zhenjiang, go south along the canal, enter the Jiangnan Canal, cross the Qiantang River, and reach Hangzhou Bay.

And here, Tian Yugong, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, has already led 8,000 troops and hundreds of ships to wait for a long time.

After the two sides met, they headed north along the East China Sea.

Su Yu as the leader of the Seven Provinces Alliance, Tian Yugong as the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, these two people represent the seven southern provinces to support the imperial court, isn't it enough?

Of course enough.

…………………………

At this time, the Dagukou battlefield had been fighting for several days.

It's almost the same as Su Yao's deduction.

Both sides played very hard.

After the Dagukou Fort was completely repaired and upgraded, its power and range increased greatly.

The artillery of the Combined Fleet could hit the batteries, and the heavy artillery of the Qing court could also hit the warships.

On the first day, the fight was the fiercest.

It also suffered the heaviest casualties.

Next, there are tentative attacks and fierce attacks.

The commander of the Allied fleet, Hober, organized three landings, but all ended in failure.

The three battalions of artillery of the New Army in Tianjin, full of mobility, sank the landing sampan of the Anglo-French army again and again.

For the British side, the situation was very difficult.

But they don't know that compared to the results of this battle in history, it is already good at the moment.

On the flagship, several leaders of the coalition forces met.

After a long time, Rear Admiral and War Adviser Sima Mi said: "Perhaps, Ba Xiali's opinion is correct, we should not storm Dagukou. Moreover, our military strength is limited, and we should not divide our troops into Yantai and Dalian. ”

Although it is not explicitly stated, it is pointed out that the Count of Ergin is too underestimated.

This time to attack Dagukou, the military strength is too small.

Count Ergin ordered: "Transfer back the large battleships at Yantai and Dalian, leaving four small gunboats." Transfer back most of the marines in the two places, and each of them will stay with more than 100 people! ”

……………………

With an order from Count Ergin.

Four large warships defending Yantai and Dalian left with five hundred marines and headed for the Dagukou battlefield.

At this point, the two cities of Yantai and Dalian were empty, with only three hundred French troops and four small gunboats.

First of all, the governor of Shandong did not find out at all, because the British and French evacuated at night.

And even if he found out, whether it was the Qing army on the Shandong side or the Liaoning side, they probably didn't have the courage to attack.

If they don't fight, Su Yu will be welcome.

July 3rd, 1859!

The Su Trolling fleet raided Yantai and fought fiercely for two hours.

One hundred and eighty French troops surrendered, two French gunboats were captured.

Su Yu officially recovered Yantai, and sent a messenger to rush 800 miles into Beijing to report the victory.

Two more days passed!

Su Trolling fleet, raiding Dalian Bay.

After an hour and a half of fierce fighting, a hundred French troops surrendered, and two more gunboats were captured.

Su Yu officially regained Dalian, and once again sent a messenger to rush 800 miles to Beijing to report the victory.

And he commanded the messenger to be loud and shout all the way.

It is necessary to let countless people hear the credit of Su Yu's recovery of the two cities.

At this point, the righteousness should be almost in hand.

But for Su Yu, it's not enough.

……………………

July 5, 1859.

At the insistence of Hong Renji, Shi Dakai, Chen Yucheng, and Li Xiucheng, Tianjing finally made a decision.

It was announced that the negotiations with the Su Yu side had failed.

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom used military means to recover Changzhou.

Thus, the biggest major war in the South broke out in several years.

After more than a month of assembly, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom gathered an astonishing 90,000 troops on the battlefield in Changzhou.

And the coalition army of the seven southern provinces, because of the addition of Zuo Zongtang and Xu Youren's desperate bet to lead 3,000 people to join the battlefield, the total strength has reached 50,000.

There are also two powerful fleets that help in the canal.

Chen Yucheng, Li Xiucheng, and Shi Dakai were all in command on the battlefield.

Shi Dakai led an army of 30,000 and attacked Danyang.

Chen Yucheng led 40,000 to attack Changzhou.

Li Xiucheng led an army of 20,000 and attacked Wuxi.

The ground, which stretches for more than 100 miles, is full of war.

There was a roar everywhere.

A total of 140,000 troops fought brutal siege battles and defensive battles.

More than dozens of warships of various kinds poured cannonballs towards tens of thousands of Taiping troops.

The powerful fleet of the Su Yu side is divided into two parts, and whichever battlefield is critical, it will go to support which battlefield.

July 9th!

The Hunan army messengers rushed back to Wuchang along the Yangtze River as quickly as possible.

"Dashuai, the Battle of Changzhou has officially broken out!"

Zeng Guofan said in ecstasy: "Is it irreversible? Is it irreversible? ”

The messenger said: "Yes, irreversible! ”

"Shi Dakai, Chen Yucheng, and Li Xiucheng are desperate to take Changzhou!"

So, Zeng Guofan ordered the Hunan army, divided into four routes, and marched towards Anqing!

Li Xubin, Zeng Guoquan, Bao Chao, Duolonga and other generals led more than 60,000 troops and marched towards Anqing.

The defeat of the Battle of Anqing in history basically meant the defeat of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Therefore, Su Yu and Hong Renli have been scolding the stupidity of Tianjing's high-level leaders.

At this time, what are you gathering the main force to fight with us?

Knowing that as soon as a war breaks out here, Zeng Guofan's side will definitely attack Anqing.

As a result, they still chose to start a war in Changzhou.

Probably in Tianjing's view, Anqing is farther away, and Changzhou is closer, so it is more important to lay down Changzhou.

But you don't want to think about it, although Changzhou is closer to Tianjing, as long as Su Yu dominates the alliance of the seven southern provinces, he will not have too deep hostility towards Tianjing, and he will not be in a hurry to attack your Tianjing.

But Zeng Guofan is different, he thinks about destroying Anqing first, and then destroying Tianjing, and making this immortal achievement.

The group of people in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom did not figure out a question, who is the enemy and who is the friend.

Broke the contract with a roar, and started a war with Su Yu with a roar.

If you are stupid, you can't stop it.

However, the Battle of Anqing in history was fought for two years, and the Taiping Army also had a lot of troops in Anqing, and it is believed that it could contain Zeng Guofan for a long time.

…………………………

Here, the Changzhou War broke out.

The Anqing War in the north is also about to break out.

There was a person in the middle who was empty, General Jiang Ning, and the commander of the Jiangbei battalion, Tuo Ming'a.

During the whole process, he had been very worried that Su Yu would send Shen Baozhen over again to force him to send troops and join Su Yu's army.

Last time, Shen Baozhen came to threaten him to come forward and transfer Wang Shixin's army to Liuhe to avoid directly facing the imperial envoys.

He was terrified every day, lest Shen Baozhen suddenly appear in front of him one day and say that Lord Su Yu asked you to send troops.

In this way, he Tuo Minga has to fight against the court and the emperor.

He never wanted that.

But, from beginning to end, Su Yu never sent a messenger again.

Until the outbreak of the Changzhou War, Su Yu did not send half a messenger.

Tomin rejoiced, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

However, it was suddenly lost.

It was as if he had been forgotten.

He'd had many chances, but this was the last time.

This time, Su Yao is very short of troops in the southern battlefield, and if you send seven or eight thousand troops, it will be a charcoal in the snow.

And fighting against the Taiping army does not violate the will of the imperial court.

As a result, Tuo Ming'a did not do this, but Zuo Zongtang snatched thousands of people from Luzhou, from the Hunan army and the Huai army, and gathered 7,000 people to join the Changzhou battlefield.

Tomina lost his last chance to join the Seven Southern Provinces Alliance.

When history abandons you, it won't say a word to you.

……………………

Danyang, Changzhou, Wuxi three battlefields.

The most powerful is the Danyang battlefield, and the most critical is the Wuxi battlefield.

Therefore, most of Su Yu's fleet was on the rivers around Wuxi City, bombarding Li Xiucheng's army and helping Zhang Guoliang, the governor of Jiangnan, stabilize the situation.

And the person with the most complicated and chaotic mood is Shi Dakai.

This time, the three commanders of the Taiping Army, he has the highest qualifications, the highest prestige, and the most brilliant record.

In front of Chen Yucheng and Li Xiucheng, of course, he wants to prove himself.

Therefore, Shi Dakai was most anxious to win, and he attacked the city regardless of the cost.

Moreover, in Shi Dakai's view, Danyang guards are Wang Shiqing and Feng Zicai.

Su Yu is not there, Xu Youren is not there, just two little people guarding the city, if he can't take it down, won't he become a laughing stock?

Outcome!

Not only could they not take it, but they lost their troops.

Of the three battlefields, Shi Dakai's casualties were the heaviest, making him simply lose face.

As in history, after the Tianjing Change, the myth of Shi Da's invincibility seemed to be shattered in an instant.

Even if he didn't run away as he did in history, he would have been repeatedly frustrated on the battlefield.

On the battlefield of Changzhou, although there were not many troops, Xu Youren, the governor of Jiangsu, the governor of Zhejiang, and Zuo Zongtang, the prefect of Luzhou, were guarded.

The three of them fought against Chen Yucheng alone, and they were very stable. Wei Jun used to be a general of the Taiping Army, but at this time on the battlefield in Changzhou, he was only a junior general.

After a few days of fierce fighting, the two sides were still deadlocked.

But as long as there is a victory or defeat on one battlefield, it will also affect the other two battlefields immediately.

Now it seems that the breakthrough point is on the Danyang battlefield.

As long as Shi Dakaibu was defeated, the Taiping army would trigger a series of defeats.

comprehended Wang Shiqing and Feng Zicai, and immediately slammed them.

And Hong Renli brought two thousand new troops from Jiujiang that had not yet been fully trained, and they had already appeared on the canal.

At the critical moment, he will land on the battlefield and deal a fatal blow to Shi Dakai.

At this time, Hong Renli had no psychological pressure to eliminate the Taiping Army.

Even in her opinion, the real elite strength of the Taiping Army has been transferred to Su Yu's side, and we are orthodox.

……………………………………

At this time, the battlefield of Dagukou.

It has entered the final stage.

Admiral Rong Lu of Zhili, his mouth was bitter for a while.

Because the Anglo-French army once again discovered the bravery of the Tianjin New Army, they once again concentrated their firepower and bombarded his Tianjin New Army.

The casualties were enormous.

However, the results were also truly brilliant.

Repelled five landing battles by the Anglo-French forces.

At this time, there had been a truce for two whole days.

But the Anglo-French forces still did not withdraw, as if they were preparing for the last attack.

This time, it must be all or nothing.

And no one knew that Bashali had once again secretly appeared, and directly boarded the flagship of the coalition forces.

Count Ergin was furious and said, "You still dare to come? Aren't you afraid that I will shoot you? ”

"The despicable Su Yu attacked Yantai and Dalian and captured two or three hundred of us."

Sir Bashali said: "Count Elgin, I have told you many times that you have fought too quickly, and your will to war is still not strong enough. Didn't you keep saying in London that you wanted to break into the capital? Do you want to bombard the emperor directly? As a result, only such a small number of troops were gathered, and they came to attack. ”

"You still want to take down Dagukou, and then threaten the emperor to fulfill the contract, you don't want to attack the capital of the Qing court at all, you don't want to bombard the emperor. Your will to war, not at all resolute, is not at all like your rhetoric in London. ”

Count Ergin sneered: "I bombarded the emperor, so that you can reap the profits?" ”

Ba Xia said: "Then why do you boast about Haikou in London? ”

Count Ergin sneered, "Are you here to laugh at me? ”

Ba Xia said: "Yes, I am here to laugh at you." The ridiculous Count Ergin, who wanted to grasp the heat of the war and force the Qing court to recognize the fulfillment of all the treaties, did not want to let the seven southern provinces take advantage. As a result, it was made into a pot of raw rice. ”

Count Ergin, perhaps, has such thoughts, but in the final analysis, he is still underestimating the enemy.

"Lord Earl, if I were you, I would immediately lead the army to leave, return to Hong Kong, and then gather all the troops, 20,000, 30,000!" Ba Xia said: "At least 30,000 troops, and then divide the troops into two routes, don't directly attack Dagukou." The navy threatened Dagukou, and more than 20,000 troops landed in Beitang and attacked Tianjin directly, so that they could easily win. ”

"What are you coalition forces still tossing at Dagukou at this time?"

"If I were you, I would leave this flagship, because his goal is too obvious."

"Lord Earl, put away your arrogance, just three or four thousand troops can't conquer this empire."

"You have lost this battle, think of the anger of London, think of the shaking of Europe."

"Don't keep your eyes on Jiujiang, don't keep your eyes on Su Yu, put away your extra thoughts, don't be afraid that we will take advantage."

"Do your best to deal with the emperor of the Qing court, he is your worst enemy."

"Don't worry, in the next war, we will completely sit back and watch you overthrow the emperor."

Then, the Basha Rite departed.

Count Ergin was left behind, sitting still.

Ba Xiali is right, he has always regarded Su Yu as the most hated enemy, and he thinks about not letting Su Yu take advantage of everything and enjoy the benefits of the fisherman, and always thinks about leaving the spare strength to fight Su Yu.

But now the defeat of this second battle of Dagukou once it reaches London? Spread to Europe?

What will be the consequences?

The majesty of the British Empire was swept to the ground.

At that time, there will be only one way, more troops, more troops, more troops.

Fight to the end thoroughly.

However, Count Ergin was still not reconciled, and still wanted to make a final effort and attempt.

So he ordered, the day after tomorrow to launch a final attack!

But he heeded Basha's advice and left the flagship.

…………………………

At this time, Su Yu had been observing the battlefield not far away for two days.

A conclusion was finally reached.

The result of this battle was the same as in history, and the Qing court was to win.

If the Qing court would be defeated, then Su Yu would take the victories of Yantai and Dalian to seek political reputation and interests, and step on the emperor's face.

But since it is certain that the Qing army will win, then he Su Yu will go to grab the credit.

Strive to grab the most core credit and get the biggest chips.

Next!

Su Yu led 500 elites of the new army and appeared on the battlefield of Dagukou.

Suddenly, Monk Greenqin was stunned, and Rong Lu was also stunned.

Su Yu, you ...... Are you really here?

Are you crazy?

The southern battlefield is so urgent, you actually threw it down and led the army north.

The emperor ordered you to come, but you really came?

And you have already taken Yantai, enough to explain to the court and the people of the world, and even came to the Dagukou battlefield to adventure?

In an instant, Seng Lingqin and Rong Lu felt that Su Yu was really so loyal?

The coalition forces are about to be defeated, Su Yu knows this.

But Seng Lingqin and Rong Lu didn't know it, because in the long battle in the past, the fighting was very hard.

For the defenders of Dagukou, the arrival of Su Lu's reinforcements still deeply touched them.

Lord Su Yu is really loyal and unparalleled.

Obviously, he has been removed from his official position, and he is just a regimental training officer, so he can completely disobey the emperor's will.

As a result, he really ran thousands of miles and led the army to help.

After entering the battlefield, Su Yu didn't say much, just bowed his hand to Seng Lingqin and Rong Lu.

Then, he glanced around the battlefield map and said, "How about I go to guard this place?" ”

Monk Lingqin was stunned, and the place Su Lu pointed to was the most dangerous.

Because that place is the 12,000-pound main artillery group at the mouth of Dagu, it will suffer the most fierce bombardment.

Su Yu's statement shocked the defenders even more.

Lord Su Yu is really awesome, and he will be in the most critical place as soon as he comes.

Monk Greenqin nodded and said, "Okay, then this position will be defended by you!" ”

Then, Su Yu led five hundred elites into his own position.

Then, Seng Lingqin sent an envoy to Beijing as fast as possible to inform the emperor that Su Yuzhen had led an army to help and participate in the Battle of Dagukou.

………………………………

In this way, many people had mixed feelings and spent the night.

Next!

Once again, the Great War broke out.

The combined fleet of foreigners approached again, and all the artillery fired in unison.

Hundreds of sampan boats went out to sea and began the craziest and final landing battle.

Not resigned to defeat, Count Ergin launched a final attack.

The defenders of Dagukou also opened heavy fire again.

Suddenly, the war raged.

Su Yu took the most elite artillery, controlled the main gun of 12,000 catties, and only hit the target.

The flagship of the Foreigners Alliance.

The commander of the coalition forces, Hober, is on this flagship.

In the fierce fighting, there were again casualties on both sides.

And this time, the landing force of the Anglo-French army did not retreat halfway through.

One sampan after another was sunk.

The Marines of the coalition forces, staring at the huge casualties, kept rushing forward, rushing forward.

Su Yu's heralds came directly to the artillery position of the new army in Tianjin and shouted: "Give us the artillery, you can't fight accurately." ”

The artillery of the Tianjin New Army was slightly stunned, and actually handed over a few artillery pieces to the Su Yu New Army.

Then, Su To's artillery maneuvered these advanced artillery pieces and began the show.

Once you get started, you will know the gap.

Although the artillery of the Tianjin New Army is good, it is still too far behind the most elite artillery of Su Yu.

These artillery pieces began to kill accurately.

"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"

The sampans and boats that the foreigners landed were sunk one after another.

Since it is certain that the foreigners will lose this battle, since they want to make a move, they must take the greatest credit.

The man next to Monk Greenqin said: "Lord Wang, look, Su Yu's artillery!" ”

Monk Greenqin looked at it with a telescope and said, "It's really fierce." ”

But even so, there are still too many landing sampans for foreigners.

In this way, more than two thousand marines, risking huge casualties, began the landing.

But by the time they actually landed, there were less than two thousand left.

Then, the land war broke out!

The new army in Tianjin and the British and French marines broke out in the fiercest battles.

The British and French armies of 1,600 men opened fire against the tens of thousands of Qing troops.

Brave.

The point is that the geographical advantage is extremely unfavorable to the Anglo-French forces.

The Qing army was in the fortifications, waiting for work.

But even so, the Qing army still paid a staggering number of casualties.

Su Yu glanced at this side and was even more sure that the foreigners had lost this battle.

Count Ergin was too light to take such a risk.

Of course, the Qing court may not know that this battle will completely cripple the most elite force in their hands, the Tianjin New Army.

It's just that in the eyes of the Qing court, the most elite force in their hands is the tens of thousands of cavalry of Seng Lingqin.

The most elite forces on both sides are being consumed so wildly.

Rong Lu's heart was dripping blood.

His Tianjin New Army fell in pieces.

It's almost time, it's almost time!

Su Trolling controlled the main gun, condensed all the spirits, and aimed at the flagship of the foreign coalition army.

Fire hard!

"Boom!"

Miss!

"Boom!"

Missed again!

"Boom!"

Third shot!

The first heavy artillery operated by Su Yu directly hit the foreigner's flagship on the distant sea.

Violently tore the largest flagship open a huge gap.

"Lord Wang, look, look!"

"The enemy's flagship, hit, hit!"

Immediately afterwards, Su Yao opened fire again.

The flagship of the foreigners was hit again.

And this time, the commander of the coalition forces, He Bo, was directly blown out and fell to the ground.

Monk Lingqin and Rong Lu were stunned.

This...... Is this Su Ling so fierce?

So far away, it directly hit the flagship of the foreigners?

Originally, this battle could not be won, but at this time the flagship was hit, the army commander was seriously injured, and his life and death were uncertain.

Although the Count of Ergin was unwilling, he had to swallow this bitter fruit.

The Basha Rite is right, I underestimated the enemy, I underestimated the enemy.

The emperor of the Qing Dynasty, you wait, you wait.

I will go back to Hong Kong and gather all the troops of the entire Asian colonies.

It won't be long before I'll be taking 20,000 people with me, and 30,000 people will be killed.

Wash away today's shame!

Then Count Ergin ordered: "The whole army retreats!" ”

Flag waving!

The Anglo-French marines on land began to re-board the sampans and retreat in small boats.

Monk Grinqin ordered: "Stop attacking, stop attacking!" ”

Then, the Qing defenders quietly watched the retreat of the Anglo-French army.

I don't know how long it took, the figure of the foreigner fleet completely disappeared from view and disappeared on the sea level.

The defenders of Dagu wept with joy.

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

Finally won, won!

Everyone could see clearly that Su Yu's last few cannons directly hit the foreigner's flagship, and even broke the mast, causing the foreigner's military flag to fall.

At this point, the second battle of Dagukou was completely over.

At the last moment, Su Yu took away the most dazzling credit.

………………………………

Note: 12,000 words were sent, and the rhythm was fast, ending the battle.

I'm more anxious than you about destroying the emperor, and I'll try to write better. If you have a monthly pass, can you give me a few? Pastry continues to work hard.
