Lord of Ming Dynasty

The North and South are attacking the Huaxia Army. Of course, he knows the current situation in Guilin Mansion. He has been walking all the way, and the battle in Guilin Mansion has been reported to him. He thinks that it is better to let Mang Gurtai return to the army than to fight against the Nanming Army and Yongli Army. , The Huaxia Army was flanked by two groups, and the Huaxia Army was killed. The siege of Guilin Mansion was resolved without a fight.

However, he didn't know Mangurtai's current predicament. The entire Guilin Mansion had been surrounded. How could he break out of the encirclement? Because the two places were too far away, hundreds of kilometers, even if he sent a message quickly, it would take a few days. The news was already seven or eight days ago. Seven or eight days ago, the Nanming Army and the Li Dingguo Army of Yongli Daming had not completely besieged Guilin Mansion, and some small roads could still pass through the army. In other words, he could escape.

At this moment Li Dingguo has surrounded the Guilin Mansion. He is not a little bit angry with Kong Youde, but full of anger. Kong Youde has done a lot of damage to Yunnan Prefecture, which has been built for several years, and the people in many places have died.

During the siege period, Li Dingguo handed over some border areas to the Nanming army, and the Nanming army was very happy that Li Dingguo was so trustworthy, so they sent troops to take over the southern territory occupied by the Qing army laid down by Li Dingguo, and cleaned up those who surrendered to the Qing army. The landlords, gentry, and killed many people who fell to the Qing army.

Vigorously hunted down the spies and secret agents of the Qing army, and arranged [-] soldiers and horses, [-] defensive and patrol troops composed of Nanming Township Yongjun, plus some important strongholds guarded by Li Dingguo's elite troops, so at this moment, the reckless Gurtai wants to escape, unless he is smarter, has the ability to turn the tide, and has hundreds of thousands of troops, otherwise, he can only sigh.

4 Chapter Fifty

It was Oboi's intention to deal with the Huaxia Army's invasion of Huguang at one time after completing the First World War. He didn't have the patience to pursue a fleeing army, it was too strenuous.

With full of anticipation and determination once and for all, Oboi waited for another week, but what he waited for was the sad news that Guilin Mansion was heavily surrounded and was at stake.

Aobai knew that there was no chance, if the fight was not started, the Huaxia Army would become stronger and stronger.

After all, Huguang is flanked by Jiangxi Prefecture, the enemy's lair, and the enemy's forces are pouring into the south of Huguang continuously. If the fight is not started, the enemy's forces will only become stronger and stronger.

Aobai quickly mobilized [-] elite soldiers from the rear, gathered [-] elite soldiers, [-] auxiliary soldiers, and even [-] civilian men were sent to defend the city wall, and then led [-] elite soldiers to fight.

He was greeted by Merlin Yu's 21st Field Brigade and Zhu Ge's [-]th Field Brigade, both of which were strengthened, super powerful large field brigades with [-] troops.

Of course there is also Xiao Fei with [-] cavalry.

And Zhang Qiang took 19 guard brigade cavalry to defend the city. The remaining guard brigade new army musketeers and artillery brigade were strengthened by Zhang Qiang to Wang Yuqun's No.[-] field brigade, and Tong Dawei's with only [-] cavalry. Fifth Cavalry Brigade.

Zhang Qiang didn't need to go to the battlefield in person, because he had a war eagle to look down on the battlefield, and no movement within a radius of fifty miles above the battlefield could escape the war eagle's detection.

Because of the start of the war, the Huaxia Army's flintlock guns have not been fully equipped with all the field brigades. The field brigade is equipped with troops from the center, starting with the three guard brigades. Due to production capacity constraints, there are also François and Sebastian Because Stian often has new ideas, even the three guard brigades are mostly equipped with smoothbore flintlocks. Only the first guard brigade is equipped with rifled flintlocks, and some rifled flintlocks are only equipped with One of the elite battalions of the first five field brigades, as well as the general's dragoon guards, so the 21th to 2st field brigades, which are now ranked lower, still hold Jinkai [-] matchlock guns in their hands.

This matchlock gun is much more advanced than Jinkai 1 matchlock gun, with lighter weight, better bayonet, longer range, greater power, and faster rate of fire. Can the prisoners of the army, as well as the soldiers reorganized from the garrison and militia, the surrendered soldiers of He Jin and Liu Liangzuo, be able to use them proficiently?

And those grassroots officers on the battlefield are no longer the first batch of elite professional officers trained by Zhang Qiang. Most of these are the experience of the battle in the third batch of recruits trained by the second batch of elite soldiers trained by professional officers. The officers who have passed the assessment of the Huaxia Army at various levels, can they cooperate with the command of the upper-level officers, adjust the rhythm well in time, and play the tactical level that the commander wants.

The soldiers trained by the old batch of Zhang Qiang were discharged due to injuries, or were promoted, or transferred to senior commanders of other troops. The lowest was a general. Most of them served in the three brigades of the Guards Brigade The most elite guard brigade is the first guard brigade, followed by the second guard brigade, and the third guard brigade. The guard brigade is composed of elite soldiers and excellent officers from other field brigades. Field brigades with insufficient officers and elite soldiers are a detriment.

But Zhang Qiang has no choice. There is a lack of civil servants, especially those who can stand alone. There are too few senior civil servants who can understand Zhang Qiang’s new policy that is different from this era. They move around and many people hold several positions, so that the Huaxia Army can operate. .

Although more and more civil servants have been trained to take office, it is still a drop in the bucket for the increasingly large territory of the Huaxia Army. Many places have to be equipped with a low-level civil servant to assist those Ming scholars to manage the place. It is good at the top, but when it is passed to the bottom for execution, it is still unavoidable to be executed crookedly, and the Ministry of Supervision and the Ministry of People's Affairs can't reverse this situation even if they are exhausted.

This is also the reason why Zhang Qiang is not in a hurry to expand the territory. If the occupied territory is still as chaotic as Daming's and the people are in dire straits, he would rather not, because it will definitely be a headache to deal with in the future.

The No.19 field brigade was formed early, and it was okay, so he handed over the arquebus soldiers of his guard brigade to them, and the cooperation was very good.

The No.20 and 21 field brigades were previously stationed in Ningbo, Shaoxing, and even Baozhong in Baodao. They had not experienced too much battle, so Zhang Qiang dispatched Xiao Fei and asked him to command these two armies. Help Commander Zhu, who was only the Commander of Fu Brigade before, but did not actually command the arquebus soldiers, and Commander Merlin, who used to be his own guard in the Guards Brigade. These two are cavalry officers. Let them Commanding field brigades is also training them.

Fortunately, this unit of the Qing army is only a cold-armed unit, and there are a small number of new army firearms units, but Zhang Qiang is sure that a guy like Oboi who thinks that the Qing army is powerful will definitely not use the new army well. , Therefore, sending two and a half bottles of infantry commanders to command two field brigades of infantry, in Zhang Qiang's view, is nothing.

The war eagle soars in the sky, overlooking the battlefield.

The troops on both sides are constantly approaching, and the Qing army is unscrupulous. Maybe they have never really suffered from the firearms of the Huaxia Army, and this time will teach them a good lesson.

At this time, Zhang Qiang received the battle situation of Guilin Mansion.

Three days ago, Li Dingguo attacked crazily, bombarded with cannons, and the matchlock guns pressed the formation. The soldiers behind him rushed desperately into the gap in the enemy's collapsed city wall. The Qing army fell into a bitter battle. However, they faced Li Dingguo, who had just learned how to fight the war in the era of firearms, but they were beaten terribly.

Yesterday, the city was broken, Mang Gurtai disappeared, Kong Youde's family committed suicide, Guilin Mansion was almost blown into ruins, Li Dingguo finally took revenge, and all the strength and power of the Qing army in Guangxi Mansion were wiped out.

Li Dingguo captured [-] Qing troops, brought [-] civilians recruited from nearby, and [-] remaining troops, and returned to Yunnan Prefecture in style.

The destroyed Guilin Mansion was thrown to the Nanming Army, who completely recovered Guangxi Prefecture and expanded their territory. They now use a state and a half of the territory.

The other half of Guangdong Province is occupied by the Huaxia Army.

Zhang Qiang didn't intend to return it to Nanming Kingdom. If he wanted territory, Nanming Kingdom could only go to war with the Huaxia Army. What Zhang Qiang meant was that what you couldn't get from the battlefield, don't even try to get it from the negotiating table, even if you are an ally. OK.

After Li Dingguo suddenly went crazy and stepped in, the forces of Nanming and Yongli Daming were all over the city, completely pulling out the nails that had been inserted into the remnants of Daming. Zhang Qiang thought, if this news spread to the north, it would be even more difficult for the Qing army. I am afraid that those in the north The old and young of the Ming Dynasty, many still miss the Ming Dynasty that was destroyed only ten years ago. They will definitely set off a new round of anti-Qing trend. The year of Daqing will be even more troublesome. Internal and external troubles are precarious. They will definitely I deeply understand Chongzhen's mood at that time.

Chapter 451 Meeting Obai 3

The troops from both sides are approaching constantly, Zhang Qiang watched nervously, Xiao Fei's command is undoubtedly the best in the Huaxia Army, and Zhang Qiang admires him for his bravery and daring to take risks, but facing him, he has fought for decades. Zhang Qiang was still sweating for Xiao Fei. Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, but tigers are sometimes very shrewd. Many calves died at the mouth of tigers.

There are very few calves that successfully counterattack the tiger. The successful ones become legends, and the unsuccessful ones become food in the tiger's mouth, and most of them are like this. Calves always become food in the tiger's mouth.

Oboi is a brave tiger, and he is also a tiger with rich hunting experience. Zhang Qiang does not believe that Oboi will not know the power of the Huaxia Army's weapons in the past few years. Lengtouqing sent to death.

The 20-year-old Oboi may be really brave and stunned, but the 40-year-old Oboi has become a fine person, otherwise he would not have been among the royal family members of the Qing Dynasty where internal struggles were fierce. In the end, he became the thorn in the heart of Emperor Kangxi, which made Kangxi very headache. The elders of the four dynasties, the person who can experience the four dynasties will be a person who can get through safely only by bravery?

Could he be Cheng Yaojin of the Tang Dynasty? All the heroes of the Tang Dynasty were killed by Li Shimin, but the old Cheng survived, and his life was very nourishing, and his descendants will be hereditary Forget about, enjoy all the glory and wealth, what is this, the philosophy of survival, played by a smart man who seems to be a rough man to the culmination.

Oboi might have missed it, but in Kangxi he didn't know how to forbear and compromise, so he died.

But today's Oboi must still be in his heyday, and is about to reach the sprint stage of his heyday in the next few years, which makes people worry.

Oboi is currently in the queue, leading the Chinese army forward slowly, there are constant scouts reporting the latest news from the front, Oboi just waved his hand, and the guards around him gave orders loudly for the scouts to continue scouting. Issue further orders.

In his opinion, he does not need to personally operate the fight against the Huaxia Army. It would be good to have the Manchu generals below. When the Huaxia Army heard that his army was coming, they did not even leave any troops to defend the city, and quickly retreated. Half of Huguang gave up such a large territory, which is almost the same as He Tengjiao's Ming army in Yongli Daming, or even worse. He felt that Hong Chengchou regarded the Huaxia army too high. Maybe Hong Chengchou and his previous battles were due to The Qing army was too vulnerable.

Most of those Qing troops were descended from the Ming army. The green battalion, the green battalion soldiers were trained by the village courageous regiment, and the Han people were the main troops. He fought a lot of Han Chinese troops. They were all greedy for life and afraid of death. There were so few brave men He admired their courage, but he thought they were all stupid and ridiculous. Even the famous Qing army, the warriors of the Manchu Qing, knew that it was impossible to fight When passing the enemy, he may choose to retreat or flee. How can there be such a stupid person who insists on rushing forward to die.

To be a warrior, or the number one warrior in the Qing Dynasty, you can't defeat the enemy with just muscle and force. You need brains and rich combat experience. He believes that the Huaxia Army is actually vulnerable.

For such an army, should he personally command it?

Those warriors under him would crush them.

If the enemy had more troops, he would have to think about whether to use his brain, but the enemy's strength was comparable to his, then the Qing army must have ravaged the Ming army on the opposite side.

He has always believed that the Huaxia Army is actually an insurgent army in the Ming Army, just a force against the Qing Army, and the Qing Army may hesitate and think about it in the face of the Ming Army. Facing these miscellaneous troops, even if No matter how regular they are, they will still be wiped out by the Qing army in the end.

So he followed the way the Qing army used to fight the Ming army, and let the Han troops go first. If those Han troops can defeat the enemy, they only need to clean up the results. Although the Qing army has been invincible over the years, its strength However, the population growth of their Manchu Qing was very weak, with 500 million people, so the population of the Manchu Qing had reached its limit, and it was impossible to grow any more.

The real Manchu army is only 30 people, which is twice the number before entering the customs. The other Manchu troops are actually the second generation of the Qing Dynasty who were bred from the Han population captured before. As a Manchu, he looks like a weak Han from the outside, lacking the brave appearance and the blood in the bones of these real Manchus. He is quite dissatisfied with such Manchus and feels that their blood is not pure.

But he has to admit that they are currently the backbone of the Manchus, with a relatively large force, reaching 60 troops. In this way, the Manchu army has a strength of 90 troops. The next step is to recruit the Han army flag from the second generation of Han people. These people grew up under the rule of the Manchus, and I think they are Manchus. In fact, the Manchus do not recognize them as Manchus from the bottom of their hearts, so they put a banner of the Han Army Banner on them, which proves that they are trusted by the Manchus. , their loyalty is commendable.

This made the Han people in the Han Army Banner feel very grateful, and wanted to reimburse the imperial court and serve the Qing Dynasty. For this purpose, they fought bravely, not even inferior to the second generation of Manchus. These Han Army Banner troops have more than 80 troops and are controlled by the Qing Dynasty. The territories occupied by the Ming Dynasty, and the backbone of most of the territories of the Qing Dynasty, are trustworthy troops.

As for the Green Battalion, it was only an auxiliary force that was compiled to cooperate with the Han army flag stationed in the place, but later it became the main cannon fodder force, and made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty's unification of the Ming Dynasty. The generals and civil servants of the Qing army occupied a dominant position in the middle reaches.

The original number was 60, but in the final formation of troops, even a general like him, Oboi, did not know how many such green battalion troops fell to the ground, working for the Manchu Qing.

At present, there are [-] Green Battalion troops in the team, and [-] troops from various places who surrendered to the Ming army, and [-] captive soldiers from the rebel army and the anyway army. Go fight.

Anyway, it’s cannon fodder, the more people die, the better it is for the Qing Dynasty. Fewer Han people and more Manchus are beneficial to the rule of the Qing Dynasty. Of course Oboi is willing to do such a thing, to test the enemy’s reality, and then The auxiliary troops and the Han army banner troops were dispatched to entangle the enemy, and finally the Manchu troops were dispatched. The Manchu troops dispatched by Hong Chengchou were not his tribe, and their death would have no effect on his strength.

He is very proud of his cleverness.
