Lord of Ming Dynasty

In short, the Huaxia Army has encountered units that are good at using firearms that they cannot encounter. The gap between the Huaxia Army and the enemy has narrowed to the point where my weapons are a little more advanced than yours.

Chapter 835 It's not a loss

Nalan Mingzhu is now a bachelor and minister of military affairs. He said to Kangxi: "Your Majesty, Bumbleshan is currently at home. It is better to let him lead the army, let Yao Qisheng Yao be the deputy commander, Duolong command the Han army flag, Zhang Peng He commanded the Goguryeo soldiers and horses, Kadarhan commanded the Mongolian cavalry, and let Shang Kexi and Wu Sangui both sides support them, and together they attacked Shaanxi-Gansu Prefecture and recovered Shaanxi-Gansu Prefecture."

Suo'etu stood up, "Your Majesty, why don't you let the veteran lead the army, let Zhou Peigong be the veteran's deputy commander, and let the monk Wu Sangui support our army."

Kangxi caressed the two night pearls in his hand, and glanced at Nalan Mingzhu and Suo'etu. Ever since they helped him bring down Oboi, they had been at each other's throats. The fight below was very fierce, which gave him a headache.

At this time, Duolong came out to solve his troubles. He went out, and all the military officers and civil servants watched him go out, and they all turned their heads to look at him. He is a clan member and a Manchu, but he is not a member of the Obai Party, nor is he a very noble clan member. What's more, he fought several battles that almost cost the Qing army heavy losses.

Therefore, he has always been a general, because he is a clan member, and he still holds the official position of a fifth-rank guard in the royal palace. He has no title. The reason why he can participate in today's court meeting is because he is a guard, a fifth-rank guard. Suo'etu felt that he, a general who had fought with the Huaxia Army many times, should be brought here, so that he could provide some suggestions for the emperor.

Duolong looked at the important ministers of the Qing Dynasty, the prince, Baylor, the county king, and many Hanchens. He was a little scared, but he was also a veteran who led 10,000+ troops and fought in the war. He was still calm and calmed down a little. After a while, he said: "Your Majesty, I think it is possible to combine the opinions of the two adults. Lord Suo will lead some soldiers and horses to bypass the front and attack a place in Gansu in Shanxi-Gansu Prefecture from the outside of the Great Wall. There are still many people who are angry with me." In the Qing Dynasty, there were still many Mongolian tribes, and they could be assembled, and the main force of the Mongolian cavalry plus some infantry and artillery would attack, and then fight from Gansu Prefecture to the interior of Shanxi-Gansu Prefecture."

He slightly raised his head to look at the young Kangxi who was silent but nodded his chin slightly, glanced at the ministers on both sides who were lucky enough to participate in this collegiate meeting before the emperor, and continued: "Master Yao led the main force from Shanxi Wu Sangui and Shang Kexi's troops were there to help them cross the Yellow River to attack the interior of Shaanxi-Gansu Prefecture. They have spent a lot of time in Shaanxi-Gansu Prefecture, so they should be familiar with the local customs. As the vanguard, they opened a way for the army to cover The army crossed the Yellow River."

"Okay, okay, this is fine." Kangxi said happily.

He looked at several princes and Hanchens, "Let's do this, Suo'etu, Yao Aiqing, you immediately raise military funds and mobilize troops, and three months later, launch an attack on the soldiers and horses of Shaanxi and Ganzhou in the Kingdom of China. Do not disappoint me."

"Yes, Your Majesty." A group of ministers respectfully sent Kangxi up and left with the help of eunuchs. Don't see that Kangxi is still young, only in his twenties, but his posture is like an emperor. No wonder there are so many people in later generations. The crops of the Han people are admired by the beasts, and the patriots of the Han nationality are in mixed feelings, because if you don’t recognize it, it is a dynasty that is actually embedded in your long history, it is a part of your history, it is Humiliation, you admit him, this big Han nation is too aggrieved.

Many descendants of the Han nationality are the descendants of the high officials of this dynasty. They are relatively united, and they only want to build the Han nation and want to break it into pieces. As long as I have something to eat, the rest of the Han nation is free. It’s all to curry favor with the descendants of these high-ranking officials and hold them high. They say that morality is not suitable for Han people, so the morality of Han people begins to deteriorate. They say that the West is good, and there is nothing good about Han people, so Han people feel inferior up.

They say what the Han people are doing. The patriots among the Han people are called patriotic thieves, and the Han people are called narrow-minded in order to maintain the Han tradition.

Although it is said that the Huaxia Kingdom and the Han people have risen, Kangxi is not worried about it at all, because it occupies Shanxi Prefecture, Hebei Prefecture, Yanjing, Beizhili Prefecture, and Goguryeo. His territory is already several times larger than before. Yes, it's not a loss.

If Shaanxi-Gansu Prefecture can be taken back from the Han people, they will not lose money and make money, so they are not in a hurry.

What is anxious is that Zhang Qiang, who wants to unify China as soon as possible, is the Han government.

Although many troops will be dispatched this time, who are those troops?

Goguryeo people, Mongols, Han army flags, Han army flags, these are the descendants of the Han people who usually bear the names of Manchu bannermen, and the soldiers and horses of Monk Wu Sangui. The soldiers and horses of these two people sound like soldiers and horses of the Qing Dynasty. In fact, they were all from Sishan Prefecture and Shaanxi-Gansu Prefecture, the chieftain soldiers of Sishan Prefecture and soldiers of various ethnic minorities, as well as some soldiers and horses of Han descendants who were loyal to them. Soldiers, Semu soldiers, Lama soldiers of Tibetan Buddhism, mixed blood soldiers of Han and indigenous blood, and of course a small number of Han soldiers from Shaanxi who served as soldiers in Shadahan, Shaanxi Prefecture for a meal.

There are also Manchu soldiers, but these people are all led by their masters to monitor the soldiers and horses of various ministries.

Those people were old soldiers, descendants of declining Manchu aristocrats, and some were even descendants of naturalized enslaved slaves who had been captured by the Jurchens for decades.

Even if these people are all dead, it will only solve some redundant population for the Qing Dynasty and reduce the food consumption of the Qing Dynasty. Although these people will cost some money and food, they can be sent to fight the Chinese Han people, so that both sides will work hard Yes, I watched the excitement by myself, and the Manchu princes and clansmen could drink tea in the Yanjing Teahouse while talking about the battle ahead, just as a joke.

Yao Qisheng and Suo'etu received the imperial decree and have already started preparing for the battle with all their strength, mobilizing troops and horses.

In the early days, Suo'etu mobilized 2000 soldiers each from the Shenji Battalion and the five admirals, as well as [-] Manchu-coated servants from various prefectures. These are armed servants. Of course, these people did not go to fight. It is the soldiers and horses protecting Suo'etu.

Then a battalion of Manchu cavalry was mobilized, and there were hundreds of Manchu princes and princes who wanted to make meritorious service, and the guards from the big house joined in. Han officials also sent some of their children, so they called up [-] soldiers and horses and marched to Shanxi Prefecture In the capital of Bingzhou, another [-] soldiers and horses were mobilized from the Manchu generals to make up [-] soldiers and horses.

Duolong began to mobilize his own soldiers and horses, the Han Army Banner, and the soldiers and horses of the Han Army Banners from all over the country began to gather towards Bingzhou. He transferred [-] soldiers and horses of the Han Army Banner in charge of his old subordinates from Hebei Prefecture, and mobilized another [-] Green Battalion Soldiers and horses, [-] people.

The capital sent [-] Han army flag soldiers and horses, and [-] Mongolian cavalry soldiers and horses.

Yao Qisheng mobilized 3 soldiers from Obai's original Han banner and [-] green battalion soldiers from Shanxi Prefecture, and [-] Goguryeo and Han Chinese green battalion troops stationed near Yanjing, as well as [-] Mongolian cavalry troops. Soldiers and horses, accompanied by [-] Manchu soldiers and horses from Liaodong.

In March, [-] Japanese soldiers arrived, and after changing clothes in Bingzhou, they joined Yao Qisheng's team.

Suo'etu also got [-] Goguryeo soldiers and horses, [-] Han army banner soldiers and horses from Liaodong, [-] cavalry from Horqin Mongolia, and [-] soldiers from Khalkha Mongolia.

The Bingzhou government sent their artillery team [-] soldiers and horses, and recruited hundreds of thousands of civilians for this purpose.

And here Wu Sangui sent [-] Mongolian cavalry and [-] incorporated Dashun cavalry, [-] of his own Liaodong iron cavalry, and [-] Musketeer infantry. These infantry were composed of Han Chinese from Shaanxi Prefecture. Two thousand soldiers and horses, including cavalry and infantry, were there to monitor him.

It is still gratifying to send only [-] pitiful mobs, [-] chieftain soldiers, [-] Miao soldiers, [-] Dunkirk infantry, [-] cavalry, and [-] civilian husbands. Wu Sangui has been running Shaanxi-Gansu Prefecture for a long time. He is a guest army, and there are not so many soldiers and horses, and Shaanxi-Gansu Prefecture has been poor since ancient times. He went there not long ago, except for collecting thousands of strong men to supplement his soldiers and horses. The Huaxia Army was called out.

Several families are desperately gathering soldiers and horses, preparing to attack Shaanxi-Gansu Prefecture, which has just been recovered by the Huaxia Army for a few months.

Yao Qisheng came to Bingzhou Mansion, walked into the Bingzhou Palace specially built for Hauge, and visited it. The Palace covers an area of ​​[-] mu. It is modeled on the Forbidden City, combined with the unique characteristics of Shanxi Prefecture, where there are many memorial archways and small bell towers. , There are many such turrets built in the courtyard of the palace, and corners are built from time to time. A screen wall is built in front of the corner, a screen wall is built behind the corner, and a memorial archway is built before entering the courtyard. , it can be said that Shanxi people occupy all kinds of places, and they will not let you idle anywhere, which reflects the characteristics of Shanxi people who are good at making money, but are very stingy.

Yao Qisheng came to the capital of Bingzhou. He was received by Yu Chenglong and accompanied by Chen Yanjing. These two people were regarded as honest officials and capable officials in the Qing Dynasty, and they were considered Han talents in Shanxi Prefecture.

People in Shanxi are known for their patience, wit, and principles, but they are never stupid and loyal. Most of them follow the trend, jumping up when they see the wave, never act recklessly, as long as I feel that I can't win, I always submit, avoid, endure, wait for the opportunity, many people lose many opportunities, but many people succeed , and when people from other states fall one after another, they are often the tumblers in the courts of the past dynasties. Often, a family has steadily become the prime minister or important minister of the court after four emperors, and they are finally invincible in previous battles Land, good beginning and good end.

Chen Yanjing is a courtier that Kangxi valued very much. In the history of later generations, even if he finally retired from the officialdom to the private pension, he was finally called back by Kangxi and died of old age in terms of appearance. No one can do this. Trusted by an emperor.

Chapter 836 How to fight the war in Shaanxi Province?

Although Yao Qisheng was not prominent in the Chongzhen era of the Ming Dynasty, he was a capable person in the early Qing Dynasty, but the final result was not good, not as good as Chen Yanjing who was able to be an official and capable.

Yu Chenglong is also a formidable person, there are capable people in Shanxi, at least Yu Jackie is not as upright or fickle as Jiang Xiang, who is duplicitous, swaying his head and tail, surrendering to this family and which one he surrenders to, there are many changes, and people like Wu Sangui are such templates.

While raising money and food, several people summoned soldiers and horses, and at the same time, they also recited poems and painted paintings. They sat together and showed off their literati spirit, and they were very devoted.

As soldiers and horses gathered day by day, several people were in a good mood, but over there, Merlin Yu was not in a good mood. The spies sent by the Military Intelligence Department to Shanxi Prefecture and the Mongolian grassland reported that the enemy was increasing their troops day by day. Bian just finished the retreat of a brigade, and the [-]st Guards Division that was just transferred up, although they are elite soldiers and horses, are also veterans, but they are soldiers and horses from the south after all, and they are not very suitable for the north. Cold and dry climate.

They can get lost even in those ravines.

These people have to adapt to the climate of these places. Their barracks are not ready. Many people practice horseback riding while familiarizing themselves with it, because many times they have to be familiar with how to rush to another place quickly, and they have to practice climbing. Fighting in the mountains, these are familiar with the elite soldiers of the Corps.

Compared with the Second Guards Division, which has played more battles, their First Division is a bit rusty, and has not fought for several years. Although many of them were veterans of many battles before, they recuperated in the military academy for a period of time, and gradually learned some etiquette. If there is too much, if you think too much, you will lose touch with the cruelty of the battlefield.

This is why Zhang Qiang wants to release them into combat as soon as possible.

At this time, the [-]st Guards Division of a brigade had just switched defenses with the [-]th Field Brigade under Mei Linyu, who succeeded Xuanyuan Longfei as the commander of the corps. The garrison brigade organized by the militia brigade guarded Xijing, and that garrison brigade was moved to Tongguan County to guard Tongguan.

And a garrison brigade organized by an elite militia brigade nearby moved to the ferry in Yulin Township to guard the ferry.

These are the elite soldiers and horses of the Xuanyuan Longfei Corps who fought the offensive against Shaanxi-Gansu Prefecture. More than half of them were soldiers and horses recruited from Shaanxi Prefecture, and some were once the remnants of the Dashun Army. The veterans under his command are all from Shaanxi Prefecture. Although they haven't come back for more than ten years, they are still very popular in the countryside.

Those militiamen were called up by them, and the latest to join were the Han soldiers who were willing to resist the Qing Dynasty and were brought back because of the Xiaofei Corps and Xuanyuan Longfei Corps' attacks on Shaanxi-Gansu Province several times in the past year.

They are more familiar with the country roads, people's customs, and know more people than the soldiers and horses of the pure southerners of the First Guards Division, so their combat effectiveness is much stronger than the First Guards Division who just arrived here, the First Guards Division It’s okay to defend the city or fight in a fixed field now, but if you want to fight the enemy during the movement, you will suffer a big loss, because Shaanxi-Gansu Prefecture is not peaceful, and many people are the eyes and ears of Wu Sangui and the others or bandits. Drag the [-]st Guards Division, which is filling up, to death, because the [-]st Guards Division is too formal.

Slightly better than them is Gao Jie’s No.13 Field Brigade, which was transferred in half a year ago. After the Fengwuyu Corps was transferred back to Guangxi, his main brigade was dismantled and transferred to the Ma Sanli Corps, and Ma Sanli resigned and transferred to Baodao After Zhou took over from Bagyalu, Ma Han took over as the commander of the Masanli Corps, which is actually equivalent to a garrison regiment, because he has no field brigade under his command, only the militia brigade, the elite brigade, and half of the cavalry brigade have been transferred. The garrison brigade can be used to cooperate in operations, but the garrison brigade is not under his control.

Some of these garrison brigades were transferred to the Mahan Corps, and some were transferred to the Xuanyuan Longfei and Xiao Fei Corps. Gao Jie and the others were later transferred to the Mahan Corps. When the battle to recover Shaanxi-Gansu Province was just over, they were transferred to the Mahan Corps. In Shaanxi-Gansu Prefecture, we are working together with the elite militia brigade to wipe out bandits and bullies, as well as Wu Sangui's remnants of troops, and chasing Shang Kexi's Qing army. They are half-familiar here. Compared with the [-]st Guards Division that was just transferred So little.

They were moved to Gansu Prefecture to cooperate with the cavalry brigade to search and suppress the returned soldiers and horses. At first they belonged to the Xuanyuan Longfei Corps, and later they were assigned to the Xiaofei Corps. .

Now it is the cooperation of Bagyalu and Merlin Yu. Merlin Yu used to be a soldier of Zhang Qiang's bodyguard. Bagyalu succeeded Hu Kui as the captain of Zhang Qiang's bodyguard. The two still know each other, but it has been a long time. , I haven't seen each other for more than ten years.

After knowing the enemy's movements, Bagyaru and Merlin held several meetings, dispatched troops many times, and sent the two combat brigades and cavalry brigades who were still here to garrison in the towns behind the first line of defense. , The elite militia brigade and garrison brigade were stationed at the ferry and various crossings, and at the same time they dispatched battalion-level field battalions to help them defend and fight.

Afterwards, the ordinary brigade of the militia was reconvened to be responsible for local security and transportation of supplies.

Li Dingguo is a pragmatic person. After consulting Wei Wuji, who is the governor in Southeast Asia, he discussed with Xiao Fei of the General Staff and Xuanyuan Longfei of the Garrison Command. The Marine Corps, as well as the naval gunners and sailors mobilized 3 horses to form a navy marine unit and transfer them to Shandong Province.

Wei Wuji was still the minister of the Ministry of Defense, and Li Dingguo was the deputy prime minister and minister of the Ministry of Defense, which was equivalent to being the deputy minister, performing Wei Wuji's duties in the court.
