Bury the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 75 Recruiting?

Fu Huan didn't know whether Zhu Ni could use spells, but Fu Huan knew that Agui, the imperial envoy, had been frightened out of his wits, and could be frightened into a quail at the slightest sign of trouble.

This can't work, Fukang'an is still waiting for our rescue, and Long Live God is still waiting for the news of our victory in the capital. If you abolish the imperial envoy first, how should you fight the next battle?
Just thinking of the word "war", Fu Huan couldn't help but start to have a headache.

Just relying on the fighting power of our Tatar Qing army...

After struggling again for a while, Fu Huan said, "What are you going to do about the desertion?"

Ah Gui felt that Fu Huan was poking his heart.

If this imperial envoy knows what to do, why should I call you to discuss it together?Isn't it because this imperial envoy has no good solution, that's why he asked you to discuss it together!

After thinking about it secretly, Ah Gui tentatively asked: "Or, shall we ask Lord Long Live to call Sauron's soldiers over?"

But Fu Huan shook his head and said: "Even though Sauron's soldiers are powerful, they should be transferred here, but the distant water cannot save the near fire. Right now, Fu Kang'an is in Zhu Ni's hands. When the Sauron's soldiers arrive..."

I'm afraid that Fukang'an has been cold for a long time.

When that time really came, Agui, the imperial envoy, would definitely be unlucky, and himself, a bachelor, would also be in trouble.

After all, no one in my Tartar Qing Dynasty knows that Fukang'an is the heart of the old dog Qian Deaf. If he was not born outside the palace and his biological mother was not a noble person in the palace, it is estimated that the crown prince must belong to Fukang'an .

Thinking of this, Fu Huan and Ah Gui couldn't help sighing at the same time, and then stared wide-eyed.

After being silent for a while, Ah Gui sighed helplessly: "The only way out now is to drink poison to quench my thirst."

Fu Huan didn't understand why, so he asked, "How can drinking poison quench thirst?"

Agui said: "When there were no deserters, I thought we should be more stable along the way, march twenty miles a day, try our best to ensure the physical strength of the soldiers, and guard against Zhu Ni's ambush by the way."

"But now it seems that when we arrive at Zichuan, most of the 12 troops under our command will disperse, and then we will really have no way to recover."

"So, let's give them high-ranking officials and generous salaries, and at the same time speed up the march. If we can reduce one deserter, it counts as one. If the situation is not too bad, when we arrive in Zichuan, we may still have about [-] soldiers in our hands." army."

"At that time, we will force Zhu Ni's army back to Zichuan County, and then surround them without attacking."

"Just besiege the city, not attack the city. Even if it is hard work, we can still kill Zhu Ni's army."

"If we are ambushed by Zhu Ni on the way, there is nothing we can do. I really can't think of any other way except to die in danger and report to the king."

Fu Huan nodded, which was considered to have approved Agui's proposal.

There is really no way to do this. After all, the combat effectiveness of our Taqing army lies there, and the speed of the increase of deserters also lies there. If we do this, there may be a chance of survival. If we don’t do this, we can only wait The army dispersed and was beheaded by the Long Live Lord.

Thinking of this, Fu Huan began to discuss with Agui about promising a high salary for high officials, such as how much reward money he would give for saving Fukang'an, or how much reward money he would give for killing a rebel, and for example How to get promoted after meritorious service.

In short, it is within the authority of the two of them, promise more money, and promise more official positions.

But before the two of them discussed the reason, Agui's soldiers who were waiting outside the big tent rushed into the big tent, knelt down and shouted: "Master, our brothers who are on guard at the back suddenly I was attacked by Zhu Ni bandits!"

Agui got up from the chair in a jerk, and asked repeatedly: "How is the battle going? Have you ever captured Zhu Ni?"

Asked by Agui, the soldier didn't know what to say.

Also captured Zhu Ni?Our army of the Qing Dynasty, especially the Green Battalion, who is in charge of guarding the mission, has a lot of hips. Don't you know, master?

After curling his lips secretly, the soldier replied: "Back to the master, by the time the slave got the news, Zhu Ni had already retreated, and the brothers were not seriously injured, but, just before Zhu Ni left, he had put down his words, Say……"

Ah Gui's heart trembled, and he asked, "Then what did Zhu Ni say?"

The soldier trembled, and replied: "Then Zhu Ni left a message saying that Master Fu is hanging on the gate tower of Zichuan City waiting to dry, but he doesn't know when you and Grand Master Fu Huan arrive. In Zichuan, Master Fu returned, returned..."

Ah Gui sat back on the chair dejectedly, and waved her hand to signal the soldiers to go out.

Pay what?It must be that he doesn't know if Fu Kang'an will still be alive when he and Fu Huan lead the troops to Zichuan.

A good person, hanging on the gate of the city gate to wait for the air to dry, probably died in two days, and the tens of thousands of troops led by himself and Fu Huan, can they reach Zichuan within two days?
Ah Gui and Fu Huan looked at each other, and both of them saw pain in each other's eyes.

No matter how fast the march is, it will take about three days to reach Zichuan, unless the [-] vests go straight to Zichuan regardless, or abandon all the baggage of the army and rush to Zichuan in a hurry. Chuan, if this is the case, he can arrive in two days or even one day.

The problem is that even if the [-] vests can reach Zichuan in one day, it is useless, because you can't rely on cavalry to attack the city.

In the same way, if you choose to abandon all the baggage of the army, even if you arrive in Zichuan within a day, it will be useless, because without artillery and food, this battle will be impossible.

What if it is simply to speed up the march?
If it is simply to speed up the marching speed, it is actually useless, because it is calculated according to the speed of walking forty miles a day, then it will take three or even four days to reach Zichuan. It was also chilled.

At the same time, blindly speeding up the march means that the rear army will inevitably face Zhu Jinsong's harassment. Even if the green battalion in charge of breaking the rear does not collapse, the number of deserters will greatly increase.

What's even more frustrating is that even if Ah Gui is ruthless and doesn't care about Fukang'an's life or his own, it still won't solve the problem.

Because, even if the marching speed is not increased, the green battalion will still produce a large number of deserters. Maybe the soldiers of the Eight Banners battalion will be led astray by the soldiers of the green battalion.

This situation, no matter how you look at it, is a dead end.

After bowing his head and thinking about it, Ah Gui could only sigh helplessly, and said to Fu Huan: "It's better to speed up the march, drinking poison to quench thirst may not necessarily lead to death."

Fu Huan also hummed helplessly, and said, "That's the only way to go."

However, what makes Agui's egg hurt is that when the two speed up the march, Zhu Jinsong, the rebel of the Tianzi brand, will sneak attack from time to time on the green battalion in charge of the breakup. The thieves will rush to the front of the army to plant landmines.

It is simply impossible to guard against.

Ah Gui couldn't figure it out. There were tens of thousands of troops under his command. The tens of thousands of troops were moving together, and the distance between the head and the tail was two or three miles. How did Zhu Ni manage to attack the broken green camp behind him and then run away? To lay mines in front of the rider?

What's even more hateful is that Zhu Jinsong, the anti-thief leader, really doesn't talk about martial ethics.

If you say he bury mines, he can bury mines. Anyway, Ah Gui can't control Zhu Ni's whereabouts, but Zhu Jinsong, the anti-thief leader who doesn't talk about martial arts, still doesn't forget to put up a piece to remind Ah Gui that there are landmines after every mine. brand.

And this brand is usually close to the direction of Zichuan.

That is to say, only after being bombed once and passing through the minefield can the spies sent by Agui see the reminder board that Zhu Jinsong put up in advance.

It's really deceiving!
Later, Ah Gui and Fu Huan simply decided to let the civilian men who transported the luggage in the army act as spies, and let the green battalion soldiers transport the luggage and food that needed to be transported.

Anyway, it doesn't hurt to blow up a few civilian husbands, and it can also appease the green battalion by the way, and slow down the speed of the green battalion soldiers dinging as deserters.

As soon as this method of forcing civilian husbands to explore the way ahead came out, Zhu Jinsong, who didn't talk about martial arts, really stopped laying landmines, but he changed the way of playing again, and began to lead people to fight sneeringly from a distance.

At the beginning, Agui and Fu Huan still thought about sending the Eight Banners vests to chase after them. After all, there were only a few hundred people who fought coldly every time, but there were [-] people in the Manchurian vests. Heap those surnamed Zhu to death.

But Agui and Fu Huan never expected that Zhu Jinsong, the leader of the rebels, is really not good at martial arts. As long as he sees the shadow of the Manchurian vest from a distance, he will immediately run away, and he has no intention of fighting the Manchurian vest. .

As a result, the number of Agui's Green Battalion soldiers running away with buckets increased again. After all, no one wants to be beaten to death while walking.

Therefore, when Agui led his troops to the west bank of the Xiaofu River, only more than 12 but less than 5 of the original [-] army remained.

However, the plot that really made Agui and Fu Huan desperate has just begun.

At the beginning, Ah Gui and Fu Huan thought that since they had already reached the Xiaofu River, they had to kill the rebels on the other side no matter what. After all, they had hundreds of cannons in their hands, so it was only one cannon. A cannonball kills a rebel, and the cannonball in one's own hand can almost smash the rebel on the opposite side.

But after the real fight, Ah Gui and Fu Huan realized that this was not the case at all.

The number of artillery in their hands is indeed large, and the number of artillery displayed by the rebels on the opposite side is indeed not large. In terms of quantity, their side does have a great advantage.

But artillery is about power rather than quantity.

In terms of range, the artillery made by Meng Lianggu is a little farther than the artillery in the hands of Agui and Fu Huan; in terms of power, the artillery in the hands of Agui and Fu Huan uses solid bullets, while Meng Lianggu uses flowering bullets. The shells were mixed with a lot of iron nails and gravel, and their lethality was a little bit stronger than the artillery in the hands of Agui and Fu Huan.

Even if the range and power were increased by a little bit, Agui and Fu Huan suffered losses one after another when they were superior in numbers, and the number of deserters from the green battalion increased linearly.

After just two days of confrontation with the rebels on the east bank of the Xiaofu River, Agui and Fu Huan had less than 3 horses left.

Among the 3 horses, the Eight Banners vests accounted for [-], the Eight Banners infantrymen accounted for [-], the Green Battalion soldiers only had [-], and the remaining few thousand were civilian husbands.

Ah Gui, the imperial envoy, was worried, and Fu Huan, Fu Kang'an's nominal father, was also worried. What both of them were worried about was pulling their hair out in handfuls.

Of course, there is another piece of good news that can comfort Agui and Fu Huan who are worried, that is, Fukang'an was not hung on the city gate to dry as Zhu Jinsong said.

This means that Fukang'an is probably still alive.

Just worrying, a very bold idea suddenly popped up in Ah Gui's mind, and after careful consideration, Ah Gui felt that his idea was very reliable.

After organizing his speech in his mind, Ah Gui said, "Brother Fu Huan, tell me, are we all thinking wrong?"

Fu Huan was taken aback for a moment, and asked inexplicably, "What's wrong with your thinking?"

Agui said: "Tell me, why did Zhu Ni kill officials and rebel? Is it really just because of those mud legs? Do you believe this?"

Fu Huan shook his head and said: "Of course I don't believe such words. Isn't it written in the Water Margin that killing officials and rebelling is just to recruit peace. If it is said that Zhu Ni wants to be the emperor, I may still Mutually……"

Before the letters were produced, Fu Huan suddenly froze.

That's right, isn't it all written in the Water Margin, killing officials and rebelling, just to recruit security.

Even if Zhu Jinsong, the leader of the rebels, is so ambitious that he wants to be the emperor, but fighting a war is always risky, right?Can you, Zhu Jinsong, guarantee that you will live to the day you become the emperor?
So, as long as you, Zhu Jinsong, are willing to accept the recruitment and admit to the Qing court, then the Qing court will not have to go through all kinds of troubles to suppress the bandits, and you, Zhu, don’t need to put your head on your trouser belt. it is good?
The big deal, the Grand Scholar of this university and the Grand Scholar of Agui will make a book together, and ask Long Live Lord to make you Zhu Jinsong the King of Qi or King Lu or some other messy prince who can be hereditary, and then give you a piece of land for you to toss about yourself, I don’t know Zhu Jinsong. What does the prince think?
