The four hundred and ninetieth chapter of the direction of the use of soldiers
Liu Elang's words are said to be the voice of all people. Now Blind Gong and Zhang Lexing have too many tricks to play. They neither talk about war nor peace. What are they selling in the gourd!
Su Tianfu immediately asked, "President Zhang, if you don't tell the truth, I can only ask the woman in your room. Even if Mrs. Ma doesn't tell me, I will also go to find Jinchan!"
Su Tianfu and Liu Elang can be said to be the most important one, and Zhang Lexing has already said the truth: "Isn't we Zhang Lexing just to everyone have a golden road, with money, food and women, of course... don't forget that we should restore the great man!"
This is all true. Being rich, food and women is the highest target of the Nian Army. They don’t even have the concept of a base. In the early days, they avoided the decisive battle when they met the main force of the Qing army, and retreated as soon as they met a strong city. Moreover, even if they took down several county towns, they did not have the concept of doing a good job.
It was only last year that the Sanhejian victory changed the concept of the Nian Army, but it changed from absolute guerrillaism to absolute schemingism. There was no concept of mobile troops. One after another, one dock after another made plans to stick to it. Now Zhang Lexing stood up and waved his hands to everyone: "Everyone, everyone, today I, Zhang, want to make a big vote. After making this vote, it will be fine if I squat at home for three or five years and don't go out, and there are countless benefits!"
"Hezhou Chaohu Lake is a good place!" Zhang Long had already understood Zhang Lexing's thoughts: "But Zhang Da, there are only a thousand red barbarians?"
Although I heard that the Hong Barbarians had a strong combat power and defeated the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Qing army, in the hearts of Zhang Long and other nicknames, no matter how strong the Hong Barbarians were, they only had those skills. These two Huai were the home of Nianzi, and they let Nianzi go back and forth. What’s more, there were only a thousand people, and they all joined forces to unite their heads. They could produce 200,000 troops, and there were 10,000 or 20,000 horses alone. It was not just a game to destroy them.
Zhang Long's idea represents most of the ideas of twisting the head, but Zhang Lexing smiled and said, "Chaohu and the prefecture are both good places, but our goal is not there. In the past, we could not defeat the hard villages in big cities, but the key is that the equipment was not good. There were too few foreign guns and cannons. We could only fight by life, but now there is a change!"
Zhang Lexing asked Gong Deshu, the military advisor, to speak, and Gong Deshu, blind men's eyes lit up: "This time I went to Hezhou myself and saw the skills of those red barbarians. From my perspective, the skills are also very loose. The oldest soldiers have only been fighting on the battlefield for a year. Some soldiers have only been in the army for three or five months, but why can they win Hezhou? The key is that other people's equipment is dozens of times stronger than us. What are the Minni rifles, flintlock rifles, and firing guns, which are many times stronger than our earth guns and earth cannons. Not to mention that their small cannons are comparable to our thousands of kilograms of cannons. Our cannons are not as good as our tens of thousands of kilograms of cannons!"
"In addition to equipment, I think the skills of these red barbarians are just ordinary. We should have a chance of winning. More importantly, they are all southern barbarians who can't ride horses or fight how to fight!"
In Chinese history, the two Huaihe Rivers can be said to be a place where cavalry was released. The Southern Dynasties have always used the cavalry here to fight against the North’s equipped cavalry. In modern times, the Nian Army had powerful cavalry known as tens of thousands of elite cavalry. During the Anti-Japanese War, there was also Peng Xuefeng’s fourth division cavalry regiment. Therefore, the words of Blind Gun have boosted everyone’s confidence.
"A thousand red barbarians can take it! You can take it!" Liu Elang shouted loudly: "Brothers, pull out a few small flags and rush south, and make sure to take back all their foreign guns and cannons!"
"It's open to Hezhou, and everyone has a better year this year!"
"That's right, these two Huai are ours, not their Red Barbarians!"
The shouts of the crowd of twitters were really full of fighting spirit, but Zhang Lexing had his own ideas. As soon as he raised his eyes, the little king of hell behind him, Zhang Zongyu glared at him. The crowd of twitters suddenly calmed down, and Zhang Lexing continued: "A mere Chaohu and Prefecture is enough for the New Year!"
"Then fight against Hefei! Fight against Hefei!"
The interest in the stern head is getting higher and higher. In recent times, the Hongjun has attracted too much attention in Jiangnan, so they can't find their position at all. However, Zhang Lexing is quite strategic: "I think it's not Hefei, but... Yangzhou!"
"Yangzhou?" The twig present was stunned for a moment, then pressed over, and each of them held Zhang Lexing's hand: "Leader, you can plan!"
"You can't forget me when you hit Yangzhou!"
"I didn't expect that I could enter the world of Yangzhou!"
"First take down Hezhou Chaohu Lake, then fight against Hefei, and then sweep Yangzhou!"
"That's great! Lexing, let's follow you!"
The rise of the Nian Army was originally a combination of rogues and rogues. The combination of local tyrants and some lower-level officials. It is rare for tyrants like Zhang Lexing, who have thousands of acres of family, and most of them are combinations of proletarians, and even the case of Nianshou. They have no vision and do not know the base for management. According to the Qing side, they believed that they had neither land nor people, but were just bandits. Although their combat effectiveness was stronger than the Taiping Army, they were much easier to deal with than the Taiping Army.
Now Zhang Lexing is going to take them to break through Yangzhou. There are a hundred willingness in their hearts. Who doesn’t know the colorful world of Yangzhou? The fireworks in Yangzhou are already planning how to plan after opening Yangzhou.
You should know that the greatest success in history was when the Nian Army broke the Qingjiangpu near Huai'an a few years later and took down the Heguan Yamen there. This Heguan Yamen is much inferior to Yangzhou, but after all, it was the Heguan Yamen, and a large number of salt merchants were stationed here. These poor Nianzi robbed the Qingjiangpu in a major event and pulled back truckloads of property to Jiheji. In the 1950s, scholars went to conduct interviews with the Nian Army, and the descendants of the Nian Army still talked about this time, which was the most worthy of boasting about them.
Zhang Lexing's clothes were torn to pieces by the people who rushed up. He said with all his strength: "We will destroy the Hongrenzi of Hezhou and Chaohu, seize their foreign guns and cannons, then arm them with their guns and cannons, and then take Yangzhou back along the river. As long as Yangzhou is in hand, our brothers can be happy and happy. Even if we negotiate with Hongrenzi, we have the capital!"
"I wish to share wealth and honor with Brother Zhang!"
"I wish to fight for such a great fortune with Alliance Leader Zhang!"
"Old Zhang, after conquering Yangzhou, we will find dozens of Yangzhou thin horses!"
Joy thunderously.
The joy and thunder of the zhiheji gathering was immediately passed to Feng Sixian, who was managing southern Anhui. He was a veteran of strategy. He had both been the chief officer of the army, experienced many wars, and was a local official. Therefore, everything had its own rules and specialized in several chess pieces in the Huai area, and his arrangement was rewarded immediately.
There is only one and a half-infantry battalions of the Hong Army in Jiangbei, and half-infantry battalions in this half-infantry battalion was the force that Liu Chang deliberately increased. But even so, this force was really not enough to fight against the Nian Army that swept across the Huai River, so he immediately plundered the troops and reinforced them to Jiangbei.
However, Feng Sixian's troops were too limited. The troops he had was only one infantry brigade and one cavalry brigade. It seemed very tight to control the southern Anhui region with millions of people. Fortunately, the Second Army of Jiangxi sent an infantry brigade to support the battle. However, although the Second Army entered Hunan to fight smoothly in the early stage, after controlling more than 20 counties, the troops were suspected of being tight. He was preparing to open a new front in Hubei, and the overall strength seemed tight, so he was preparing to transfer the sent infantry brigade back to Jiangxi for combat.
Under this situation, Feng Sixian's troops were getting tighter. However, in order to better manage the southern Anhui region and develop it into a solid base for the Hong Army, the entire Feng Sixian's infantry brigade and half of the cavalry brigade have been scattered within dozens of counties in the southern Anhui region. Only half of the main force of the cavalry brigade is used as mobile forces, and half of the cavalry brigade is already the limit of mobile forces in southern Anhui. We must also consider the defense zone left by the Jiangxi side to withdraw defense.
Therefore, as soon as he obtained the news that the Nian Army might launch a large-scale attack on the south, Feng Sixian found that he had no troops to adjust, especially the reinforcements sent by the Second Army were preparing to return to Jiangxi. He could only hastily strengthen the defense of Jiangbei. First, he ordered the Hezhou Detachment to take Chaohu as soon as possible and have a stable foothold. At the same time, he formed a reinforcement company and sent some of the wounded members of the returnees to the Hezhou Detachment to reinforce. At the same time, he searched everywhere to prepare for reinforcement of half a battalion to the northeast, but this was Feng Sixian's limit.
In this urgent report, Feng Sixian retelled the situation in southern Anhui: "South of southern Anhui requires a reinforcement division and a cavalry brigade at the lowest point, and when it is opened to Jiangbei, there must be a reinforcement regiment, at least four infantry battalions and an artillery battalion. Today, the military strength in Anhui is far lower than this number, and the First Brigade of the Second Army is preparing to withdraw from southern Anhui, and the situation in Anhui is on the verge of extreme deterioration!"
"In view of this reality, please ask the 1st Brigade of the Second Army to temporarily suspend the transfer from southern Anhui. At the lowest level, an infantry regiment is required to be left! At the same time, an infantry brigade is transferred from the Jiangsu and Zhejiang direction to support Anhui Province. If the Jiangsu and Zhejiang direction are unable to be transferred, you can form a brigade from the old Taiping Army to enter Anhui for combat! One hundred thousand is urgent, please be sure to send troops to help!"
After reading Feng Sixian's suggestion, Zhu Jinlei had already said: "King Yan, you can't transfer the old Taiping Army to Anhui Central now, Hong Xiuquan is in Jiangbei!"
In any case, these Taiping Army were only forced to join the Hong Army due to the situation. Even though many people could no longer look back, many people still cared about the Kingdom of Heaven. Therefore, Feng Sixian's suggestions were inappropriate to some extent, and Liu Chang agreed with this view: "The old Taiping Army could not go to southern Anhui, but it was not good to stay all in Jiangsu. Where do you think it is better to go?"
