Chapter 236: Stealing the Empress Dowager! One-sided slaughter!
(It's been reviewed again, I'll revise it)
Su Yu was talking with Zuo Zongtang.
This Jin Liang is extremely excited, since Su Yu announced that he would abolish the Eight Banners Army and form the Imperial Army, his whole person has been in a state of excitement.
He knew that Su Yu would make a big move after entering the center, but he didn't expect the action to be so big.
I can't imagine that Su Yu has just entered the center, and he has chosen such a difficult challenge.
So, he immediately went to meet with various Hunan army bigwigs and asked a series of feudal officials such as Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang, Li Xubin, and Luo Bingzhang to officially play the chapter and support Su Yu's new policy.
But without exception, all of them were rejected.
This made him very angry.
When the Hunan army stopped the battle of Anqing before, he was very dissatisfied.
And now this dissatisfaction has reached the limit.
After knowing that Su Yu was going south, he immediately left Luzhou and came to talk with Su Yu.
At this time, Su Yu's new army was being assembled.
At this time, he had 20,000 troops in the capital, including 4,000 new troops.
Now, once again, he has gathered 6,000 troops and is constantly boarding ships.
Looking at the dense new army boarding the ship, Zuo Zongtang said: "Su Xiang, after your 6,000 new army enters Beijing, there are even fewer troops left in the south. ”
Su Yu said: "Now the situation in the north is more critical. ”
Zuo Zongtang suddenly said: "Su Xiang, not necessarily." ”
Su Yu said: "Is there any rumor about Mr. Ji Gao?" ”
Zuo Zongtang said: "After all, I am a high-level of the Hunan army, and I vaguely know that there are people in the capital who secretly interact with the Hunan army, I think the purpose is self-evident." ”
"When you entered the center, there was harmony on the surface, but many people were watching, and the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces was still on your side."
"But there will still be many people who are dissatisfied, right, there are not a few people who want to knock you off the stage, do you know which people are people or ghosts?"
"So Su Xiang, you belong to the extreme minority now, it's just that your prestige is too ruthless, and people are just dormant for the time being."
Su Yu smiled: "Thank you Mr. Ji Gao for reminding me." ”
Zuo Zongtang said: "Su Xiang, you already have 20,000 troops in the capital, including 4,000 new troops. What is the name of transferring another 6,000 new troops into Beijing? ”
Su Yu said: "Prevent the Russians from attacking Shengjing." ”
Zuo Zongtang said: "Actually? ”
Su Yu said: "Just in case." ”
Zuo Zongtang said: "Suppress the Eight Banners who may cause chaos? ”
Su Yu said: "Yes." ”
Zuo Zongtang sighed: "This group of Eight Banner soldiers, if they fight in a group, they have no combat effectiveness. But if you break it into pieces and start sabotaging and resisting the new deal in the capital, the destructive power will be extremely great, and the power of the Eight Banners in the capital is too big and too deep. So in case of a drastic change, there will really be more troops to maintain law and order in the capital. ”
That's it.
This new policy, Su Yu will implement it no matter what, and it is obvious that it will encounter huge resistance.
After all, cutting off people's financial means is like killing their parents, and if this group of people secretly engage in sabotage, or even carry out large-scale assassinations and terrorist attacks, it will be impossible to prevent it.
Therefore, Su Yao needs to lay out in advance and continue to increase the number of troops in the capital to ensure that at the critical moment, even if the worst happens, Su Yao can fully control the capital.
Zuo Zongtang said: "Su Xiang, your handwriting is shocking, Zuo admires it very much. But I actually don't understand one thing, is it too urgent for you to dismantle such a big reform as the Eight Banners? Why not postpone it for a year or two? ”
Su Yu said: "Mr. Ji Gao thinks, where is the most dangerous place in our country now? ”
Zuo Zongtang said: "Many places are very dangerous, and you are very dangerous in the capital, because you are a minority, and you don't know how many of your enemies are lurking, they are in the dark." The sea was dangerous because the Qing Dynasty did not have any coastal defenses. If you want to start a full-scale war on the Westernization Movement next, you will definitely be in the cities along the Yangtze River, but with the strength of our sailors, we will not be able to resist the fleet of foreigners. ”
"But...... The most dangerous, I feel is the Northwest. ”
"The entire northwest accounts for more than one-third of the territory of the Qing Dynasty, but the population that is interested in the Qing Dynasty is now a minority."
"Now there are many factions over there, and tens of millions of people are separated from the Qing Dynasty. This large piece of land belongs to our country, and it is only a hundred years. Because of race and religion, it was already in jeopardy. ”
"Your imperial court is weak now, so the power of the center in the northwest is getting weaker and weaker, and the collapse over there is only a matter of time."
"What's more, now there is one more Russian, constantly infiltrating, constantly increasing troops, and full of absolute hostility and greed towards our Qing Dynasty."
"The entire situation in the northwest is already in danger, and now I feel sleepless when I think about it, but few people in the imperial court care about the northwest."
"Su Xiang, once the northwest is cracked, then my country's land will be reduced by one-third, and it will be a complete disaster for my Huaxia."
The northwest mentioned by Zuo Zongtang is not only Xinjiang, but also Gansu, Ningxia, Qinghai and other regions.
In fact, the current situation is even more critical than Zuo Zongtang said.
Today, the Han Chinese in the northwest are facing massive attrition.
And soon there will be a terrible slaughter, and in the next few years, the entire Han people of the Northwest will be slaughtered by an astronomical amount. At present, the number is about 20 million.
Even in less than a year, millions of people were slaughtered.
And the date of this massacre is getting closer and closer.
Su Yu said: "Mr. Ji Gao is right, my Daqing Sea air defense is weak, and the northwest land defense is even more precarious. ”
"Therefore, after I enter the center, I must not only develop coastal defense, but also develop northwest land defense."
"I have sent people to London to negotiate, and I plan to build a truly advanced navy, which will cost about 40 million taels in the next eight years, including shipyards, warships, weapons, personnel training, etc."
Hearing forty million taels, Zuo Zongtang suddenly gasped.
"So much? Is it necessary? Zuo Zongtang trembled and said: "My country's urgency for coastal defense is not so high. ”
In history, Li Hongzhang was a coastal defense faction, and Zuo Zongtang was a land defense faction, and the two of them fought happily.
Su Yu said: "Zuo Gong, do you know how much the factory we will develop in the next ten years, etc., will be worth?" ”
Zuo Zongtang said: "Tell me about it." ”
Su Yu said: "It's about ten times the Jiujiang Economic Experimental Zone, and it will get bigger and bigger." And such an astronomical amount of wealth can be coveted by anyone, including the British who are now supporting us, and they are pirates, and once we have astronomical wealth, but we don't have enough strength to protect it, they will rob it directly. ”
"In order to protect this astronomical wealth in the future, it is necessary to develop the navy, because all the robbers come from the sea."
"And the navy is different from the army, an army of tens of thousands of people can become an army in one or two years. The speed at which the navy is built is much slower, and we must not wait until the economy is fully developed to develop the navy, because it will be too late. ”
"And the Navy can make money."
Zuo Zongtang said: "Make money, where to make money?" ”
Su Yu said: "Japan." ”
Su Yu pointed to Japan on the map and said, "There is an astronomical amount of silver here, and with the navy, you can grab it once or twice, and when the time comes, you can snatch back all the money for building the navy." ”
Then, Su Yu pointed to Vietnam and said, "This is our vassal state, and the French began to invade Vietnam four years ago. They asked for help several times, but there was nothing we could do. ”
"Now that the interests of the British in our country are getting bigger and bigger, France is becoming more and more dissatisfied, and the contradictions between it and our country will become bigger and bigger."
"So in the future, we and the French will also fight in Vietnam."
"We have three big battles to fight in the future."
"In the first game, in order to stabilize the northwest and regain the hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land that were ceded from the north, it is necessary to fight a big war with the Russians."
"This war will officially announce the rejuvenation of our country and enter the mainstream ranks of the world."
"And once you start a fight with the Russians, it's not a petty fight. In the Crimean battlefield, both sides committed millions of troops. And once we have a big war with the Russians, it will grow from small to big, and eventually it will evolve into a full-scale war. ”
According to Su Yu's judgment, the next war between China and Tsarist Russia will definitely not reach the scale of the Russo-Japanese War, after all, it will also be a war of millions of troops.
However, if you want to regain those hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land, it is certainly not enough to rely on one big war, at least two big wars.
One thing is for sure, the number of troops invested by Tsarist Russia will definitely exceed 100,000.
So, this will be the first time that the country is facing a real full-scale war.
Zuo Zongtang said: "According to your judgment, when will the war between us and the Russians break out." ”
Su Yu said: "The scale of the first game will be smaller, but it should also break out in two or three years. ”
"And the invasion of Japan by our navy, according to my plan, should be within ten years."
"The big war between us and the French in Vietnam should take place within fifteen years."
"After these wars, we will not only be able to return to the mainstream sequence of the world, but also become one of the world's great powers, become the absolute hegemon of East Asia, and restore the previous tributary system."
These words made Zuo Zongtang enthusiastic.
Su Yu continued: "In the next eight years, the navy will invest about 40 million taels. ”
"And the army will invest more than 40 million taels in the next five years."
"The pace of war in the northwest is getting closer and closer. The pace of war with the Russians in the north is also getting closer and closer. ”
"And the 200,000 Eighth Banner Army consumes more than 10 million taels a year, and the 800,000 Green Battalion soldiers also consume more than 10 million taels a year."
"This more than 1 million troops consume more than 20 million yuan of national funds every year, but they are of little use."
"So Mr. Ji Gao, how do you say I'm not in a hurry?"
Even with Zuo Zongtang's gaze, he can't see the future.
Only Su Yu clearly saw what would happen next year and what would happen the year after.
Therefore, the reduction of the Eight Banners is extremely urgent, and time is running out.
Next year will be preceded by an invaluable period of peace.
As the year 1863 passed, great wars ensued.
Military reform is not carried out in peacetime, is it carried out in wartime?
Zuo Zongtang trembled and said: "Su Xiang, after your analysis, the time left for us to implement military reform is extremely short, and there is not even a half-year window, only a few months." ”
Su Yu said: "Yes, only a few months. ”
"No wonder, no wonder ......" Zuo Zongtang said: "It's really urgent, much more urgent than I imagined." ”
"But in this way, the next year will be our most dangerous and most vulnerable."
Su Yu said: "The moment before breaking the cocoon into a butterfly, it is the most dangerous. I don't know how many of them are suffocated in the chrysalis. ”
"In the next year, because of the reduction of the Eight Banners, it will cause extremely violent turmoil, and at that time, the new imperial army has not yet been built, and the hidden enemy will continue to attack, and the slightest carelessness will turn the world upside down."
Then, Su Yu stretched out his hand towards Zuo Zongtang and said, "Mr. Ji Gao, I officially invite you to join the future War Department and become an assistant minister, are you willing?" ”
Now there is no shadow of the War Department, and Zuo Zongtang is the backbone of the Hunan Army and the political envoy of Anhui.
Zuo Zongtang said: "Su Xiang, in order to implement this military reform, what can you do at the highest limit?" ”
Su Yu said: "Carry out bloody suppression, even if the blood is like a river." ”
Zuo Zongtang said: "In that case, you are afraid that you will really become Dong Zhuo." ”
Su Yu said: "Of course, I hope that it will not develop to that point. ”
Carrying out military reform is the core and most basic policy of the Soviet Union.
It even determines the fate of the country for the next dozen years.
In order to achieve this goal, Su Yu did not hesitate to pay any price, even if people block and kill, and Buddha blocks and kills Buddha.
Zuo Zongtang said: "After the Eight Banners are abolished, will the Green Battalion Army be abolished?" ”
Su Yu said: "Yes, of course it will." ”
Zuo Zongtang said: "So, will the Hunan army be dismantled in the future?" ”
Su Yu said: "Of course. ”
"In the future, all the armies in the country will be returned to the center."
Suddenly, Zuo Zongtang was stunned by Su Yu's big stroke, this is what the hell is doing big things.
And what's even more ruthless is that Su Yu's new deal directly starts with the Eight Banners.
Then, Zuo Zongtang stretched out his hand and said: "Zuo, I am willing to follow Su Xiang and complete an unprecedented cause." ”
"For the rejuvenation of China!"
Next, Zuo Zongtang wrote the music directly on the desk.
Officially asked the imperial court to resign from the position of political envoy of Anhui.
Anyway, he and the Hunan army also had a very unpleasant quarrel, and the War Department in Su Yu's mouth was the place where he fulfilled his lifelong dream.
……………………………………
Next, Su Yu was waiting for the arrival of a batch of munitions.
Su's Bead Rifle!
In fact, the prototype was the Spencer serial gun, which was a revolution in world weapons.
Previously, even the most advanced Enfield 1853 rifle was able to shoot three rounds in one minute for a soldier.
The new serial rifle is capable of firing at least 16 rounds a minute.
And this rifle design drawing, which was provided by Su To, was slightly improved on the basis of the Spencer serial gun.
But sadly, he had drawings, but he could not produce them, so he had to hand them over to the British arsenal for production.
Therefore, the establishment of the manufacturing bureau is extremely urgent.
As a result, he did not wait for this batch of new rifles, but waited for the decree of the Queen Mother.
Let Su Yu enter Beijing immediately to solve the crisis.
"Is it critical?" Su Yu asked.
Eunuch Cheng Shou said: "It is very critical, the Eight Banners soldiers gathered outside the palace have exceeded 20,000 people, the emperor has been scared and cried several times, the queen mother of the two palaces is also unable to sleep, and Lord Ronglu's army has entered the palace." ”
Su Yu said: "What are those banner ministers doing?" Can't you persuade you to leave? ”
These banner ministers had a close relationship with the Eight Banners Army, either as a master and servant, or as relatives.
Eunuch Cheng Shou said: "Su Xiang, we have a friendship of life and death." ”
It is indeed a friendship of life and death, and after the relationship between the emperor and Su Yu deteriorated, Zenglu and Chengshou were also sent far away and worked as coolies in the palace for several years.
Su Yu said: "Of course. ”
The eunuch Cheng Shou said: "Then let's talk to Su Xiang about a heart-to-heart word, the ministers in Beijing do not support the abolition of the Eight Banners, but it is not good to oppose it clearly." But the 20,000 Eight Banner soldiers surrounding the palace, I don't know how many ministers secretly contributed to the trouble. ”
"And let's tell you the truth, the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces has already released a rumor that she does not support the abolition of the Eight Banners."
Su Yu said: "What do you think? ”
"Cut!" Eunuch Cheng Shou said: "This group of people can't fight, but they oppress the good." ”
Then, Cheng Shou said worriedly: "Su Xiang, in our hearts, you are also half of our master, to put it bluntly, we are really worried." ”
Su Yu didn't speak, but patted Cheng Shou on the shoulder.
After receiving the order, Su Yu did not enter Beijing immediately, and was still waiting for this new Lianzhu rifle.
But it won't be long, only a day or two at most.
Once these 20,000 Eight Banner soldiers really began to storm the palace, the consequences would be unimaginable.
And although Yehenara is very tough, she is still soft in her bones, and when the pressure reaches a certain level, she may really compromise.
Once the Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces really publicly announced that she would never dismantle the Eight Banners Army, it would be really troublesome.
In the end, in Su Yu's anticipation, thirty-seven hours later.
The cargo ship finally arrived, bringing with it a brand new Bead rifle, albeit only five hundred.
But for Su Yu, it's completely enough.
Next, Su Yu selected the most elite 300 people in the new army, equipped with a new type of Lianzhu rifle.
"Time is very short, there is no time for you to train shooting on land." Su Yu said: "We need to enter Beijing immediately, you need to complete the training shooting on the ship in just a few days." ”
"Yes!" The three hundred guards broke off in unison.
Then, with Su Yu's order.
A huge fleet of ships set off in a mighty way.
The new army of 6,300 men, plus all kinds of weapons, loaded hundreds of ships.
And Zuo Zongtang, the political envoy of Anhui, didn't care that his resignation had not been approved, and went directly to Su Yu's boat.
At this point, this Jin Liang officially broke away from the Hunan army.
When Zeng Guofan heard this, he was extremely angry and smashed the cup in his hand.
Su Yu's large fleet marched eastward along the Yangtze River, and arrived at the mouth of the Yangtze River in two or three days.
At this time, Bashali had not yet returned to Shanghai.
And the one-month period before Su Yu and Minister Bruce discussed, it was only ten days away.
Therefore, the risk of war at the mouth of the Yangtze River is getting higher and higher.
The United Fleet and the Yangtze River Fleet of Su Wei were already in tension.
Seeing the appearance of Su Lu's large fleet, the combined fleet of foreigners was suddenly taken aback.
This, is this a troop increase?
The British minister, Bruce, once again boarded the Su Troll's ship.
"It's only nine days, and it's only nine days before the deadline." Minister Bruce said: "Where is the order from London?" ”
Then, he was surprised: "Where are you going with so many troops?" ”
Su Yu said: "Go to the capital." ”
Minister Bruce said, "What are you going to do?" ”
Su Yu said: "Promote military reform. ”
Minister Bruce trembled and said, "You, you plan to suppress those Eight Banners by force? ”
Su Yu said: "I hope it doesn't come to this point. ”
Minister Bruce said, "You are crazy, this will lead to a civil war." ”
Su Yu said: "Believe me, it won't." ”
Minister Bruce said, "I don't care about your business. But what about the Yangtze River estuary? The Russians, the Americans, and even the French want war every day, and they want to remove you from power. ”
The British and the Soviet Union cooperated so closely that the British had a dominant interest in China, which caused strong dissatisfaction among the other three countries.
Su Yu said: "Minister Bruce, do you know what Bashali is doing in London? ”
Bruce said: "Lobby Prince Albert, lobby Congress, and cancel the right of passage to the Yangtze River for the British Imperial fleet." But I'm telling you, it can't be successful. ”
Su Yu said: "Then do you know what my quid pro quo is?" ”
Bruce said, "You say." ”
Su Yu said: "I have entrusted Britain to help me build a new navy, and in eight years, I have purchased more than 40 million taels of equipment, warships, weapons, and personnel training from your country. ”
Suddenly, Minister Bruce was stunned.
Su Yu said: "Do you think such a big benefit can be exchanged for you giving up the Yangtze River waterway?" ”
Minister Bruce thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, "No. ”
Su Yu said: "Can you postpone it for a few years?" ”
Minister Bruce said, "That...... It should be ok. ”
Su Yu said: "So, you have to be consistent with London, for our common interests, you should be at the mouth of the Yangtze River and desperately prevent the war from happening." ”
Minister Bruce said: "Duke Suyu, I can stop the British fleet, and even very reluctantly stop the French fleet. But I certainly can't stop the United States and Russia. ”
"When the deadline comes, they'll still open fire."
Su Yu said: "As long as the British fleet and the French fleet withdraw, it is enough." Two countries remain......"
………………………………
At the mouth of the Yangtze River, where the battle clouds were thick, Su Lu's huge fleet stayed for two hours, and then went directly to sea.
The brothers of the Yangtze River Fleet trembled slightly in their hearts when they saw the dense army on the Su Trolling fleet.
Did something big happen in the capital? Aren't there already 20,000 troops there?
And more troops?
After leaving the mouth of the Yangtze River, the Su towing fleet entered the sea and headed directly north.
Three days later, we rushed to Tianjin Wharf.
Su Yu led the three hundred guards to disembark at the fastest speed, and more than a few hundred war horses here had already been prepared.
Turned over and got on the horse, without any stop, and rushed directly towards the capital.
The remaining 6,000 troops continued to land, and they would first assemble at the Tianjin military station.
As soon as the order is given, he will enter Beijing immediately.
Running all the way without stopping.
Next!
Su Yu led the three hundred guards and quickly entered the capital.
……………………………………
At this time, the entire capital was already in the news.
No one even dared to watch the excitement anymore, and the people in the outer city, the doors were closed.
The bannermen in the inner city were full of people, and countless people went to support the Eight Banners of the palace.
Su Yu has been away from Beijing for nearly a month, and the situation in the entire capital has been in danger.
Once a conflict breaks out, it will be another military disaster, and I don't know how many people will suffer.
The tragic situation two years ago is vividly remembered by everyone.
Su Yu walked through the outer city, through the inner city, and came directly to the palace.
And the 4,000 new troops who stayed in the capital immediately split up and followed behind Su Yu.
At this time, the palace did not have such a large square, so it was crowded with people everywhere.
Far away, I heard an earth-shattering cry.
"Oust Su Yu!"
"The Queen Mother comes out!"
"The Queen Mother comes out!"
"Taizu, Taizong, Holy Ancestor, you manifest your spirit, the Qing Dynasty is coming to an end."
When it got closer, the black and black pressed and densely packed.
I don't know how many people are gathered here.
Rong Lu's Tianjin New Army was deployed in the palace, as if facing a great enemy.
"Su Yu is here, Su Yu is here!"
Suddenly, someone shouted, and suddenly countless Eight Banner soldiers rushed towards him like a tide.
Su Yao's 300 guards, and the 2,000 new troops behind him, were immediately deployed on the spot.
At a glance, he saw the most conspicuous in the crowd, Prince Yi.
This rough man, in history, also gave Cixi a headache.
This time against military reform, Yi, Su Shun and others were unwilling to take the lead, so everyone elected him to take the lead.
And this so-called chivalrous and courageous prince is also unyielding.
Of course, in a sense, it is fortunate that he is there, so these two or thirty thousand Eight Banner soldiers can still maintain order and there is no chaos.
Su Yu shouted loudly: "Prince Xuan, come and talk." ”
Prince Yi said: "Okay, Su Yu, we just want to talk to you, you come up." ”
Outside the palace, a wooden platform was erected.
Soon, dozens of people were dispatched from the Yi side and dozens of people from the Su Yu side were dispatched to arm around the high platform and block the human wall.
Then, Su Yu ascended to the high platform to negotiate with Yi Cheng.
"Su Yu, what do you want to do? The Eight Banners Army is the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, and if you want to abolish the Eight Banners Army, are you going to break the foundation of the Qing Dynasty? ”
Su Yu said: "When the rebellion was in chaos, where was the Eight Banners Army? When the Anglo-French army entered the capital, where was the Eight Banners Army? ”
Yi Cheng said: "Then the innovation is it, why should it be abolished?" ”
Su Yu said: "Innovation, Prince Xuan, these 100,000 Beijing Camp Eight Banners will be handed over to you for innovation, and you will be given 10 million taels of silver, can you let them be reborn, even if they have half of the combat effectiveness of my new army?" ”
"In the season of national crisis, there are more than 200,000 wastes, which are useless."
"The last time I fought with Britain and France, there were a total of 60,000 or 70,000 people, and less than 10,000 people were beaten, and how many foreigners were killed and wounded by the Eight Banners Army? Less than ten, less than ten! ”
"The only casualties of the foreigners were all fought by the Tianjin New Army."
"And in that battle, how many casualties did the Eight Banners and the Mongolian horse team suffer? Four or five thousand people. ”
Yi said: "The Eight Banners Army is the symbol of the Qing Dynasty, if you want to cut it, do you also want to subvert the Qing Dynasty, and say that you are not Dong Zhuo, not Cao Cao?" ”
Su Yu said: "I said that the establishment of the new army of the empire is not a banner man?" On the contrary, half of the people in it are flag men. ”
"The Eight Banners Army will be cut down first, and then selected to enter the Imperial Army."
"Besides, in the War Department I have planned, aren't Ronglu, Monk Greenqin, and Jingshou all banner people?"
"Is it my army alone?"
Yi Cheng's tone softened slightly: "Su Yu, the big defeat you said was already two years ago, and after being ashamed, in the past two years, the Eight Banners Army has been training hard, and this king can see it clearly." ”
Su Yu said: "Prince Xuan, our kind of negotiation is useless for a few days and nights. Didn't you say that the Eight Banners Army was brave and had been trained very elite? Let's not talk about white teeth, how about seeing the real chapter on the battlefield? ”
Prince Tan said, "What do you mean?" ”
Su Yu said: "I am in my new army, and ten people are named on the spot. You also named a hundred people in the Eight Banners Army on the scene. Let's go to Nanyuan School to fight a battle, no matter life or death, we will fight a battle. ”
"There are ten people in our new army, and one hundred people in the battle against the Eight Banners."
"With such a disparity in proportion, if the new army wins, it proves everything, and proves that the Eight Banners are rotten to the point that they have to change."
As soon as these words came out, Prince Xuan's face changed.
Ten people, one hundred people against eight banners?
Who is this looking down on?
10,000 people may indeed be able to win 100,000 people.
But ten people, want to win a hundred people, dream?
Yi Cheng said: "The abolition of the Eight Banners Army is a big thing, isn't it child's play? ”
Su Yu said: "Winning or losing this battle does not determine whether to dismantle the Eight Banners Army, but if the new army wins, you two or thirty thousand Eight Banners soldiers will immediately withdraw for me, what is the matter with making noise around the palace all day long?" This is disrespectful to the Queen Mother and disrespectful to the Emperor. ”
"Doesn't it mean that the training has been very hard in the past two years, and the combat effectiveness has improved a lot? A hundred people, against ten people of the new army, don't you dare? ”
"You people, not only are your combat effectiveness wasted, but also your backbone?"
Su Yu's roar resounded throughout the sky.
The flag man has the best face, and he can't stand the excitement the most.
When the British and French forces were about to fight, he kept saying that he was going to fight with a knife, and he wanted the emperor to go to the expedition in person.
"Good! It's going to be a fight with you. ”
"This king wants to see if your new army is really so powerful, and whether the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty are really so unbearable."
Next, Su Yu said directly: "This official guard, select ten people and come out of the ranks!" ”
"No......" Suddenly, Su Yu said: "Prince Xuan, you can come and point out ten people from my three-hundred-person guard." ”
Prince Yi was slightly stunned, and then he was not polite at all, and directly stepped forward and randomly ordered ten people to come out.
Su Yu said: "One hundred Eight Banner soldiers, Prince Xuan is also up to you." ”
Suddenly, Yi Cheng's face was a little unsightly, and the momentum of everyone around him was suddenly suppressed.
Originally, there were ten people in the Su Tuo New Army, and one hundred people in the Eight Banners Soldiers, which was already very different.
Now, even let Yi Cheng point soldiers?
How despise people?
However, Prince Yi was not polite, and immediately pointed out one hundred of the most elite Eight Banners elites.
These 100 elites of the Eight Banners, 50 cavalry, 50 infantry.
Half of them were armed with bows and arrows, and half with carbines.
Su Yu said: "The army that is ordered now will immediately enter the palace and accept the supervision of the new army of Ronglu Tianjin. ”
Suddenly, one hundred elite Eight Banner Elite Cavalry, ten elites of the Su Drag New Army, entered the palace.
They each entered the guards' barracks, had a good rest, and went to the Nanyuan school to fight tomorrow.
After everything was over, Prince Yi Yi reacted.
How did things come to this?
Isn't it negotiating? Isn't it a crusade against Su Yu?
How did it become a real combat exercise?
Rong Lu and the others sighed inside, and as soon as Su Yu appeared, he immediately mastered the rhythm.
And the request he put forward, the face-loving Eight Banners disciples couldn't refuse at all.
A hundred people, against ten people don't dare?
Don't even have the guts to make trouble, and have the face to make trouble?
And actual combat is the best test of combat effectiveness, if the 108 Banners elite can't defeat the 10 Su Yu New Army at that time, doesn't that just prove that the Eight Banners Army has been rotten to the extreme?
…………………………………………
In the palace, the queen mother of the two palaces was slightly stunned when she heard this plan.
Is Su Yu so bold?
A hundred, to ten?
It's too disparity.
However, this method is indeed justified, and these Eight Banners soldiers cannot refuse.
"Minister Su Yu, see the Queen Mother."
Su dragged the wind and dust into the hall.
"Humph!" The Empress Dowager Cixi reprimanded angrily: "Su Yu, look at you to provoke this big mess. ”
The Empress Dowager Ci'an next to her said: "Okay, Su Yu is also anxious. His method is very good, so that these banner men have nothing to say. ”
Empress Dowager Cixi said: "It's too risky, what if you lose?" How does it end? ”
Then, Yehenala said: "Su Yu, this palace also has a sincere word with you. ”
Suddenly, the Empress Dowager Ci'an got up directly and was about to leave, saying, "You speak." ”
Yehenara couldn't help but say, "Sister, what are you leaving?" ”
You're really walking like we're not seeing anyone.
Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "The emperor hasn't slept well for the past few days, and he was woken up in the middle of the night. ”
Then, the Empress Dowager Ci'an left without saying anything.
In the entire Sanxi Hall, only Su Yu and Yehenara were left.
It's just that the palace gate is open.
Su Yu said: "Queen Mother, look, the minister said before, once I leave Beijing, this group of Eight Banners soldiers will definitely gain an inch." ”
Yehenara said: "This palace hasn't asked you yet, what's going on at the mouth of the Yangtze River in the south?" Russians in the north, what are you going to do? With so many events, why do you have to propose this military reform that subverts the foundation? ”
Su Yu stepped forward, hugged the waist of the glamorous Queen Mother, and said softly: "Queen Mother, after leaving for a month, I miss death." ”
"You, you're crazy......" The Empress Dowager said in a low voice: "People come and go, if someone suddenly breaks in, it's over." ”
"Let go of me, you let go of me quickly."
Su Yu said: "Good Queen Mother, I miss you so much, can you bear to treat me like this?" ”
"Don't talk crazy." The Empress Dowager struggled vigorously and said, "You let go of me, do you hear?" Otherwise, I'll call someone. ”
Su Yu said: "If you let me kiss again, I will let you go." ”
"No...... the Empress Dowager said, "I warned you last time, it's the last time." ”
Su Yu said: "Last time, it was the last time last month. ”
"You, you're shameless." The Empress Dowager said in a low voice: "You let go of me, don't you hear it, otherwise this palace will be really angry." ”
"Don't let go, let me kiss hard, relieve the pain of lovesickness, I'll let you go again, and then talk about business." Su Yu said.
The glamorous Queen Mother's face was flushed, she gasped for breath, and said angrily: "If you kill this god, there will always be a palace that will not spare you." ”
"Then hurry up, this palace will be ......"
Before she finished speaking, Su Yu held her cold face and kissed her fiercely.
And this time, it's completely French.
Even, Su Yu stirred the world in her lips.
Where can the Yehnara clan withstand this, they have never had such an experience. And at this point the door is open, and someone will come in at any time.
This, this is even more exciting, and the heart seems to be about to jump out.
If at this time, someone rushes in to see this scene, is this still necessary?
The Queen Mother openly cheated, and the door was not closed, it was too explosive.
After kissing for a few minutes, before she knew it, Su Yu's paws were already rubbing her hills.
Although the size of the Yehenara clan is not as large as that of Hong Renli, it is also quite impressive.
And at this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and although very careful, it was heard.
The Empress Dowager didn't know where the strength came from, her heart trembled, and then she pushed Su Yu away and took a few steps back.
Then, Yehnara gave him a fierce look, and there was this indescribable style.
You must know that she felt Su Yu's collision just now.
Then, the glamorous Empress Dowager said: "Su Yu, this palace is already very worthy of you." The foreigners forced me to dismiss you, otherwise you would start a war, and this palace did not agree. Tens of thousands of people outside have forced the palace to depose you, forcing the palace to announce that it will never dismantle the Eight Banners Army, and the palace has not agreed. ”
"They persecuted Bengong like this, do you want to force me like this? One day, I'll be driven to death by the rest of you. ”
Su Yu said in a low voice: "Good Queen Mother, where am I willing to do it?" ”
"Humph!" The glamorous Queen Mother said: "Now here to coax me sweetly, did you force me to be less earlier?" They want to kill me. ”
Then, she frowned and said, "Su Yu, you are too reckless. It is possible for 10,000 people to win 100,000 battles. But it's too difficult for ten people to win against a hundred. You're still pretending to be a soldier of your name. ”
"This palace can tell you that all the ministers in the capital do not support you to dismiss the Eight Banners. Tomorrow in front of everyone's eyes, if your new army loses, then don't blame the palace for being ruthless. ”
Su Yu said: "What do you want?" ”
Yehenara said, "Could it be that the palace has always been surrounded like this? Just let them chant Taizu, Taizong and Holy Ancestor every day? Listening to politics is the first time that the curtain is unprecedented, and the name is not right. ”
Su Yu said: "Good Zhen'er, do you want to remove me?" ”
"Don't shout." The Empress Dowager glared at him and said: "I won't remove you, but these countless people will definitely force me to declare that I will never dismantle the Eight Banners Army, if you lose, don't blame me for announcing it in public." ”
Su Yu said: "What if you win?" ”
The Empress Dowager said: "Let's talk about it when you win." ”
Then, the Yehenara clan said: "Also, tomorrow's battle of Nanyuan, you should report to the palace first, and then make a decision, instead of cutting it first and then playing it." ”
…………………………………………
No matter how Su Yao is so understated, how to flirt with the Queen Mother.
This is an extremely important political event.
It's just that Su Yu deliberately downplayed this atmosphere, and worked hard to make state affairs as if men and women were private, and lowered the vigilance of the Yehenara clan.
However, the entire capital is like a great enemy.
Tomorrow's battle of Nanyuan spread throughout the capital in an instant.
In just one day, a huge storm was set off.
Ten people in the new army of Su Yu, one hundred elite people in the Eight Banners?
A real kill?
It instantly attracted the attention of countless people.
Could it be that this battle will decide the fate of countless Eight Banner soldiers?
It also determines whether Su Yu's new policy can be implemented?
Of course, Su Yu didn't say that, and Prince Yi Yi didn't say that.
It's just that if the elite of the Eight Banners loses, then these tens of thousands of people will have to be withdrawn, and they can't continue to knock in front of the palace.
Once you withdraw, the momentum will be gone.
In a sense, this battle is also lost.
Moreover, if these 100 Eight Banners elites really lose, what do the people of the world think?
Everyone thinks that Su Yu's new policy is reasonable, is there still a need to keep such a rotten army?
That evening!
Prince Xuan came to the hundred Eight Banners and said slowly: "Tomorrow's battle, all the ministers will be present, and the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces will also be present." ”
"No matter how important it is, this king is not allowed to say more. It is about the face of all the Eight Banner soldiers, and it is also about the fate of countless Eight Banner soldiers. ”
"Make a statement to the king."
The elite of the Eight Banners led by him said: "Lord Wang, we are not afraid of death." Even if he dies, even if he is crushed to pieces, he will kill all the ten little cubs of Su Yu. ”
"Yes, we are not afraid of death."
"Broken bones, and all those ten people will be wiped out. Let Su Yu, this bastard, take a good look at it, our Eight Banners are not a bad breed, open his dog eyes and see clearly. ”
These 100 elites of the Eight Banners only felt their blood boiling, and they couldn't wait to go to the battlefield to fight immediately.
Prove it to the people of the world, and prove it to the queen mother of the two palaces.
On the other side, Su Yu faced the elite of the ten new troops.
Everybody also sees death as home.
In the past few days, they have been practicing this repeater all the time, and each of them has fired three or four hundred rounds.
The new gun is so good that it not only has a fast rate of fire, but it is also much better aimed at than the previous Enfield 1853.
Because Su Yu's drawings are advanced, this group of elites has been able to reach a rate of fire of about 19 rounds per minute.
"Do you have faith?" Su Yu asked.
"Yes!"
"Are you sure?" Su Yu asked.
"Yes!"
Ten new armies were elite, calm and fiery.
…………………………………………
Next!
An army of tens of thousands of people, protecting the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces, as well as hundreds of ministers, marched south, leaving the palace and heading to the Nanyuan campus.
Witness this sudden, but Su Yu has been planning a long-planned duel.
A few hours later!
The empress dowager of the two palaces, hundreds of ministers, more than a dozen Mongolian princes, and hundreds of generals of the Eight Banners all entered the school field and sat down.
About six years ago, the first appearance of Su Yu's new army was also in this Nanyuan campus.
At that time, the military parade of the new army of the Soviet Union amazed the audience.
This time, however, it was much more dangerous.
Because it was a live-fire exercise, the battlefield was far from the stands, exceeding the range of all the guns.
Moreover, the army of more than 10,000 people protected the queen mother of the two palaces and hundreds of ministers impenetrable.
More than a few dozen people, holding binoculars, looked at the battlefield six or seven hundred meters away.
By this time, both armies had all entered the room.
The distance between the two sides is 400 meters.
On the side of Su Liu's new army, there was only a chest-high low wall.
On the side of the hundred Eight Banner soldiers, it was also a low wall.
The audience was solemn and dignified!
In order to downplay the conflict, this duel was named a military drill.
Prince Zheng Duanhua once again served as the minister of military exercises.
Everyone could see clearly that there were ten people on Su Yu's new army's side, with serious expressions, but they were flat.
On the other hand, the hundred Eight Banners elites had their eyes blazing, full of anger and killing intent.
"Get on the horse!" With an order.
Fifty elite cavalrymen, turned on their horses.
These 100 Eight Banners elites, all wearing armor, looked majestic.
A hundred people, all of them are arrayed, as long as they give an order, they can rush out.
Duanhua, the minister of the military exercise, came to the queen mother of the two palaces and said, "The queen mother, the two armies have been prepared, do you want to start the exercise?" ”
All eyes widened and ears pricked up.
It's really unimaginable, is the fate of countless people decided by such a small combat exercise?
Cixi and Ci'an glanced at each other, and then said, "Let's start." ”
Prince Zheng Duanhua shouted loudly: "The drill begins, fire the cannon!" ”
"Boom!" A cannon rang out!
Suddenly, the duel begins!
One hundred Eight Banners elites, with momentum like rainbows, rushed out frantically.
Especially the fifty cavalrymen, they are really like spears and horses like dragons.
This momentum, this majesty.
It's a dream back to when the Eight Flags entered the customs.
And the ten people on the side of Su Yu's new army were neatly arranged and motionless.
Fifty cavalry of the Eight Banners entered within three hundred meters.
Ten people of Su dragged the new army, neatly raised their rifles, and began to aim.
"Three, two, one!"
"Fire!"
The ten-man commander gave the order suddenly.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang......"
Ten new armies constantly aimed, shot.
Aim, shoot,
The speed is incredibly fast, even exceeding the limits of normal training.
That's it, fifty cavalry of the Eight Banners.
Constantly falling.
They also bent their bows and arrows and constantly fought back.
They also raised their carbines and fought back in an effort.
But......
It's useless at all.
It was a completely one-sided slaughter.
These fifty Eight Banner cavalry were very brave, and even if their companions kept falling, they still charged desperately, charged, charged.
But there are fewer and fewer people, fewer and fewer.
At last......
Only three people rushed to the front of Su Yu's new army with great bravery.
"Kill, kill, kill......"
The three Eight Banner cavalrymen, brandishing their sabers, roared wildly, and rushed towards Su Yu's new army.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
After the gunshot, the last three frightened riders fell from their horses.
At this point, the fifty elite cavalry of the Eight Banners died cleanly.
