Chapter 766 Nian Army
"Your Majesty, there is another thing I want to say, that is, the nicks in Zhilu, Henan, Anhui, Gansu, Shaanxi. As far as the law is concerned, these nicks are all rebels, but there are quite a few people. Between the extermination and the recruitment of peace, I think the recruitment should be the main focus!"
Speaking of this rebel, the situation in Dongnuan Pavilion became tense. When he heard that Yang Meng wanted to recruit the Four-Colored Stick, his face drooped. He was obviously unhappy.
Peng Yunzhang was also shocked. If it were bandits and bandits, it would be okay to recruit people. I'm afraid it won't work!
"Brother Yang San, is the court unable to suppress the bandits?"
"Otherwise! Now there are four camps near the capital, Zhilu, Jiangnan, and southwest, with more than 400,000 troops. To wipe out Nianzi, only between the counter-pairs. If you want to suppress them, the army will siege them, and in three or two months, Nianzi will be able to be leveled!"
If Yang Meng had taken action, one month would be enough, but there were quite a few people in the nuggets, either open or secretly. Now there are 60,000 to 70,000. These are not Taiping Army, and almost all nuggets have families. Nuggets from all over the country gathered together to become the so-called Nuggets.
"Since you can suppress it, why should you recruit me?"
For the thief who rebels against the court, the Four-Color Stick is not so easy to talk about. The meaning inside and outside is very obvious, that is, you can kill but not keep.
"Number of people! Now there are 60,000 to 70,000 people. If you are convicted of treason for rebellion, you will be implicated. 60,000 to 70,000 strong men, involving 200,000 to 300,000 people, all killed will hurt the heavens!
Moreover, the court is now working on people. Instead of fighting in the internal battle, it is better to recruit Nianzi and let them fight against Britain, France, and foreign countries. Even if they are defeated, they will be a loss-win situation. If they want to be wiped out, they can be successful!"
Yang Meng also considered it for a long time. This nugget is mostly the common people. Although it is somewhat incalculable, its combat effectiveness is still somewhat. In the past two years, Nugget and Left Mule fought several times, and both sides won and lost each other, which is also an available force.
These people are similar to the Ge Laohui, and they are also considered civil society parties. When it comes to the affairs of the Association, it also involves Xiang Yong. There are many people in the Ge Laohui, and it will eventually be a disaster to keep it. The uncontrolled army is the real one that can be killed or not to be kept.
Nianzi is somewhat different from the people of Gelaohui. Although the rise of Nianzi also gained some of the glory of the Communist Party, their purpose was to make profits and survive. After seeing the Taiping Army's momentum, they became serious and opposed to the Qing Dynasty. For most of them, they were still ordinary people who were determined to survive.
With the name of this diversion of land, some peace-filled cranberries can be dispersed. As for those unruly ones, please send them to the battlefield! The future battlefield in Beijing and Tianjin will be the Hell of Blood and Fire. After seeing the real war, these people will probably not rebel again after they survive.
"Although the statement is good! Can the twig follow the court?"
The Four Color Sticks think that the same is true. Brother Yang’s words are still credible. You may be able to give this a try.
"I, go and recruit you personally. If the bandit leader Zhang Luoxing of Nianzi is unaware of the situation, I will organize a large army to strangle it on the spot!"
Nowadays, Yang Meng's temporary departure is OK. Recruiting Nianzi is also a pilot project for Yang Meng to deal with the Taiping Army. The number of Taiping Army is too large, and killing them all at once will always hurt the heavens.
"Midang, what should you do if you leave? What should I do if the defense of the capital? The British and French coalition forces in Zhangjiawan are still there!"
If the British and French coalition forces in Zhangjiawan are ignored, it will be that way. Once mentioned, they will be a threat from the Gyeonggi.
"It's okay! The main force of Nianzi is in the Zhili, Shandong, Henan and Anhui area, which is very close to the capital, and can return every night. Moreover, the British and French coalition forces in Zhangjiawan are waiting for assistance. There will be no abnormal movement in the short term. We must first stabilize the internal situation when fighting foreign countries. If Nianzi can recruit peace, it is impossible to say that the hairy thieves will be able to do it. As long as the Hong Yang bandit leader is strangled, the Taiping Army may not be the Taiping Army of the imperial court!"
Speaking of Taiping Army, the four-color stick's eyebrows also stood up. This twist may be able to attract help, but the Taiping Army that has troubled him since he ascended the throne cannot be recruited.
"Third brother, let's forget about Taiping Army!"
"Your Majesty, you are the emperor, how can you be so narrow? The reinforcements from Britain and France are coming, and we don't know how many of them are. Although there are 400,000 or 500,000 troops outside the capital, Your Majesty should not forget the number of people invested by Britain and France in the Crimean War!
Once the British and French forces attack in large numbers, no matter who it is, whether it is a thief or a commoner, as long as they can do their best to defend the empress, they will be a good person!
If the Taiping Army became a member of the court, they could have been allowed to defend the front line to the death. If the 80,000 militia in the capital were wiped out, wouldn’t the Taiping Army be wiped out?
As an emperor, you shouldn’t do things with anger!”
Brother Yang suddenly scolded him, which made the Four-color Stick a little embarrassed and aggrieved, but Brother Yang's impression was deeply embedded in the Four-color Stick's heart. When the two were together, Brother San scolded him a lot. He looked at Brother Yang with grievance, and the Four-color Stick also vomited bitterness.
"Third brother, since I ascended the throne, Hong Yang's gangster has been constantly restless. I have some resentment here, so I should be divided, right?"
"What do you say now?"
The Four Color Sticks admit that they were cowardly, but Yang Meng was still stern. It seemed that the Four Color Sticks would not give up without nodding.
"For the sake of the court and the country, of course I will listen to the third brother! After this matter is settled, the third brother will calm down, it's so scary!"
The emperor has no emperor's majesty, and no ministers' respect, but Peng Yunzhang is very interested in seeing it. Wei Zheng! A good person!
"I will set out in the next few days to suppress Nian, and I will definitely give Your Majesty a clear answer.
The capital now has poor food and grass. As I said before, Miligan bought grain to help the people spend the winter. His Majesty thinks that the capital needs to stockpile a batch of grain?”
After training the Four Color Sticks, Yang Meng naturally had to give him a chance to give orders. Spending a lot of money to buy grain is undoubtedly a good opportunity, and he is so generous!
"What do you think about Master Peng?"
Sure enough, after hearing this, the four-color stick's face also became solemn, and the country's major events have come.
"The old minister believes that for the sake of the capital, not only the capital needs to store grain, but also the Tianjing. As the ministry said, the war will be launched in the Beijing-Tianjin area, and hundreds of thousands of troops will still have to save grain for a year!"
From the people's winter food to the hundreds of thousands of troops' stockpiles, Yang Meng didn't want to bear it. Now the court's wealth is rich and the court's best.
"How much is the quantity? How much is the silver consumed?"
"According to the full supply, ten loads of grain per person a year is enough! Five hundred thousand people need five million loads of grain. According to the current price of two taels, ten million taels of cash.
If the people in the capital are protected, 10 million harbors of food is enough, and 20 million cash silver will still be obtained!"
I don’t know if I count the account, and I was shocked when I calculated it. Peng Yunzhang had never calculated it carefully before. After this calculation, the consumption of food was a very large number!
"It's not bad to have more food. I think 15 million burrows is safe, but Brother Yang thinks?"
Spending money, especially big money, can also make people excited. The four-color sticks have their eyebrows flying, but they did not forget to ask Brother Yang for his opinion. He was frightened when he heard him scolding!
"Your Majesty is wise. This is called planning ahead!"
"Well! This matter is left to Master Peng. Third brother is careful when he goes to Zhilu!"
For the Four Color Sticks, Yang San Ge is now relying on him. If he wants to find a support for a child like him, it is difficult to find a support for him, and it is even more difficult to find a support for him to have fun with him. Knowing that the Third Brother is going to travel far, the Four Color Sticks did not forget to give him a few instructions.
"Don't worry, your Majesty, I will go back!"
Brother Yang San was in charge and the Four Color Sticks did not try to keep him. On the way back to the Military Affairs Office, Peng Yunzhang was a little worried. He had 15 million harbors of food. It seemed that Yang Laosan was a little unfavorable for the future war!
This is to recruit Nianzi and want to recruit Changmao. Is this British and French coalition so terrible?
"Budou, the war afterwards..."
Peng Yunzhang was also careful when he said these words. Now that the war is a foregone conclusion, the saying of seeking peace cannot be expressed.
"It is still hard to predict that Britain and France will have to reorganize their troops for three or two months. Even if they are divided, the number of people in the first wave will not be greater, at most 30,000 to 50,000. However, the continued combat capabilities of the two countries cannot be underestimated. It is reported that Miligan has reached an agreement with Britain and France to provide supplies to the two countries and purchase Miligan's food, which is also weakening the potential of the British and French coalition forces!"
After Yang Meng said this, Peng Yunzhang's doubts were gone. It turned out that it was for this, and buying grain was also a military strategy!
"We can't add some more?"
"In terms of the current situation, it is better to lift the soup and stop the boiling. If Britain and France do not drag down the country, there will be no way out for the Qing Dynasty. We will collect all the food at once, and this war will not be fought. This year's war will not be fought. Britain and France will come again next year. It's just that the Qing Dynasty is now a mess, so let's be in chaos!"
Miligan has a lot of grain storage and grain production. This time, Yang Meng bought grain in large quantities, not to get stocks, but to buy grain. Britain, France and Tsarist Russia have signed a contract to hire mercenaries. This matter is not a secret in Europe. Now all Yang Meng can do is to curb the number of British and French coalition forces from Miligan, and come 500,000 at a time. How to fight?
"Budou Foresight, is there a chance of winning over this twig?"
"We have the final say whether there is a chance of winning! Nianzi is a bandit in the end. Zhang Luoxing doesn't know what to do, so he will destroy him. If you change to Li Luoxing, Wang Luoxing, and Sun Luoxing, you will change to three or five. I don't believe that they will not accept the order of reunion!
Peng Zhongtang, please let me know Zuo Jigao in Anhui cooperate! After all, there is some pressure on the outside!"
Yang Meng had already made arrangements for recruiting the Nian Army. If Zhang Luoxing was not aware of the situation, Yang Meng would send someone to assassinate him. If one died, he would not be aware of the situation and die until someone accepted the order for recruiting the situation.
"Budo will not bring the troops from the capital?"
Peng Yunzhang thought that Yang Laosan wanted to mobilize the troops in the capital, but he didn't expect that what he wanted was Zuo Jigao.
"Just bring one or two thousand with you. Now the people around the capital still need to be trained and not delayed them. As for Zeng Zuo, you still have to test it before the war begins. If Zeng Zuo rebels, the problem will be big!"
Ti Zeng Zuo Yang Meng was also diverting Peng Yunzhang's attention. Peng Yunzhang's energy was not good at all, and it would take more effort to do something more. Yang Meng didn't want him to be idle during this period. This genuine military chief still had some appeal in the Qing Dynasty. He must not give him the opportunity to plot against himself secretly.
"What Budou is thinking is that things are messy during this period, and he forgot that Zeng Zuo and others are still there!"
Now the situation in Jiangnan is stable under the arrangement of Yang Meng. Zeng Zuo put enough pressure on the Taiping Army. With Feng Guifen, it is still no problem to suppress the Taiping Army. In the deadlock, there are fewer wars and fewer wars, which is not so eye-catching.
The Zuo Mule is easy to deal with, but the one who is really not easy to deal with is Zeng Disheng. Zeng Disheng's Xiang Yong has not performed well during this period. Brother Laohui's power is rising, and Yang Meng is thinking about whether to let Xiang Yong enter Beijing too?
"During this period, Yang was not in the capital, so I had to worry about Peng Zhongtang."
"What is this? It's supposed to be!"
Yang Meng chose to leave Beijing at this time, but it was not a sudden idea. Sushun is not in the capital now, and if he leaves himself, some people might jump out. Some of the Manchu and Han officials in the capital were chosen by Sushun some time ago, and the rest were the royal families. If some more royal families were killed, the Qing royal family would have withered.
