Qianlong: Qing Dynasty?What about my Daqing?

Chapter 171 All have Ming-style equipment

"Commander! Commander! The vanguard suffered setbacks, the three green flag battalions were in distress, and the bandit brigade crossed the river!"

Several Gorshhas from Eredengbao rushed into Fukan'an's big tent.

Fukang'an was shocked when he heard the words: "What's going on? It's only been how long, why did you let them cross the river?!"

"The bandit vanguard didn't rest up after crossing the river, and went straight to the formation. It only took one blow. Three green flag infantry battalions couldn't stand it!"

"What? Can't stand it anymore?!" Fukan'an's deputy stood up with a bright sound.

"How many people have come to teach the bandit vanguard, how can they destroy three infantry battalions with one blow?"

"Just one thousand."

Hear this answer.

Fukang'an frowned.

The vanguard army led by Ereden has more than 500 people and [-] cavalry.

The bandits were defeated with one blow!
If the elite of the Ming army came, it would not be surprising for Fukang'an.

But this is a bandit from the White Lotus Sect.

It's not the Ming army's elite who are extremely well-equipped.

Eredenbao is not a rookie who has never fought.

How could he collapse when he encountered a thousand bandits?
"After the bandits crossed the river, they wanted to line up. Lord Dengbao asked people to pull up the cannons and prepare to bombard the bandits who crossed the river without cannons. As a result, those bandits suddenly charged in a horizontal line."

Fukang'an frowned even tighter.

This sounds so unreal.

A group of soldiers who had just crossed the river immediately launched a hand-to-hand charge without stopping, and defeated the opponent with fewer enemies and more enemies.

That doesn't sound like a bandit.

It looks like a heavenly soldier and a general.

Oh.

The ancestors of the past probably could have done this.

Now the soldiers of the entire Qing Dynasty who can do this are probably those Saurons who are especially able to endure hardships captured from the old forests in the northeast.

Fukang'an took a deep breath: "Let the bandit cross the river if he wants to cross it! Order Dengbao to retreat and recuperate, and the army will line up to respond!"

At this time, Shanzhou and Henan prefectures can basically be regarded as solid walls and clear fields.

It is difficult to find a grain of food here.

So although Fukang'an was very puzzled that Eredengbao was defeated by only a thousand Taiping infantry.

However, no rash decision was made.

"Good fight! Good fight!"

Opposite Jianhe.

Liu Zhixie held up his binoculars and applauded loudly.

Liu Sanhuai, Marquis of Dazhou beside him, reminded: "Heavenly King, Qing Da is retreating, it seems that Qing Da doesn't plan to fight us on the bank of Jianhe!"

"They're scared!" Liu Zhixie put down the binoculars and said with a sneer.

"Fukan'an set up a tortoise formation, waiting for us to attack."

"Heavenly King, Qingtar's camp is very strong, do we have to storm the camp?"

"Cross the river first."

Liu Zhixie frowned.

There is no magic weapon for coercing and fleeing to fight.

Now the food and grass of the army must be supported by the rear.

But Guan Zhongyuan is not as prosperous as Liu Zhixie imagined.

So after dividing up the land and raising nearly [-] government soldiers.

On this day, the palace will not receive any taxes.

Because in order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the government soldiers, the entire kingdom of heaven basically suppressed all other means of making profits.

Make a hole.

Only military exploits can get land, rewards, and official positions.

In such cases.

Liu Zhixie, the king of heaven, is also poor.

Although I have hundreds of thousands of acres of land under my name.

But these lands will also be used to raise his immediate subordinate guards.

There are 2 guards under his command, and more than [-] soldiers who he can directly mobilize and manage.

In addition, these supporting auxiliary soldiers and servants of Suweimen.

The power controlled by Liu Zhixie was the only reason why he was able to suppress the other leaders of Bailian, called the king of heaven, and became the champion.

Just that way.

It would be unrealistic for Liu Zhixie to have a nightly party like Emperor Zhu, and to have an industry like the Royal Consortium that was comparable to the revenue of the Ming treasury.

Not to mention comparing with Emperor Zhu.

Even compared with Qianlong.

Liu Zhixie is also quite poor—at least Qianlong has collected many rare paintings and calligraphy from past dynasties.

But now Liu Zhixie is actually in a dilemma.

on the one hand.

This Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is extremely poor.

On the other hand, it is necessary to support an army of 10,000+ to fight in Henan.

thought here.

Liu Zhixie sighed inwardly.

When the army was raised in Xiangyang.

But I have never considered any logistics, food, grass, money and food.

No matter what, the Guanzhong area is king.

Are you still worried about these things now?
"Cross the river! Cross the river!"

Liu Zhixie shook his head.

Get rid of the miscellaneous thoughts in your mind.

He himself is very clear.

Now the whole of China is divided into three stalls.

Western Heaven in Northern Qing Dynasty and Southern Ming Dynasty.

Both the Northern Qing Dynasty and the Southern Ming Dynasty have considerable heritage, but this heavenly kingdom is the kingdom of sudden rise.

If you don't want to make progress at this time, stay in Guanzhong and enjoy the blessings.

I'm afraid it will die every two years.

Now is the time to get pumped up.

As long as they can defeat the enemy in front of them and break through Luoyang, the army of the Tian Kingdom can go north to Yanyun, engulf the people of the Central Plains, slaughter the Manchus, occupy Beijing, and gain righteousness.

It can also use the power of the Central Plains to resist Nanming.

Even if it fails to unify the world, there may be a situation of the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

Think here. ,
Liu Zhixie's heart was burning.

A thousand government soldiers broke through the formation of more than 2000 Qing troops before.

In other words, using the farm to raise soldiers can produce absolutely loyal, brave and capable soldiers!

Guanzhong can support more than 2 government soldiers.

Wait for the Central Plains to be taken.

I'm afraid I can raise 20?
There are 20 fierce soldiers and horses.

Why should Nanming be afraid?

At this moment.

Liu Laoba and other government soldiers who crossed the river first had been fighting for a while, and they were sitting on the ground to rest.

Liu Laoba took out naan bread from his bosom and ate it with cold water.

The hard naan bread was easily chewed and swallowed whole.

Even an elite soldier like Liu Laoba couldn't stand it for a while.

After crossing the river, without waiting for repairs, they directly launched a melee charge.

Now it's really exhausting.

But the effect is obviously very good.

The large group of Qing troops apparently did not expect that the enemy who had just crossed the river could immediately launch a hand-to-hand combat.

So he was messed up all of a sudden, after winning this round.

Liu Laoba's department also completed the task and successfully covered the large army to cross Jianhe.

And they did not continue to pursue alone.

After Eledenbao retreated and collected the rout, he found that he had lost nearly 300 people in this round.

Fortunately, one of the advantages of the army organized by the Green Banner Soldiers based on their hometown and blood ties is that it is easy to gather after they are broken up.

Unlike the previous green battalion, once it collapsed, it would be difficult to gather it up again.

After counting troops.

Eledenbao's dispirited leader returned to the front line.

And right now.

Shouts of mountains and tsunamis came from the banks of the Jianhe River.

Teams of Heavenly Kingdom Army coming across several pontoon bridges rumbled over like tides.

They were densely arranged on the open plain of the Qing army camp.

These soldiers have different weapons and equipment.

But there are also quite cavalry.

Mansion soldiers like Liu Laoba who prepared their own horses were naturally sent to the cavalry.

Most of the heavenly warriors without horses were organized into infantry brigades.

According to the equipment, it is divided into spear team, musketeer team and rattan team.

The equipment is very ordinary.

It cannot be compared with the army of the Ming army at all.

Armored and horse-armed soldiers like Liu Laoba must be among the elite.

But the vast majority of soldiers do not have iron armor.

It's leather armor, shields, and spears.

Or a shotgun seized from the Sichuan Luying arsenal.

The current Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's ability to produce its own weapons is not strong.

Of course, cold weapons such as knives and spears can be produced by themselves.

But weapons like muskets, although there are a small number of craftsmen who can make them.

But overall.

Most of the firearms of the Heavenly Kingdom Army were seized from the Qing army.

This time the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

The total force was dispatched close to [-].

Among them, the most elite are of course the five thousand guards and ten thousand soldiers under Liu Zhixie.

Besides.

Several other kings and masters from all walks of life also have to make do together to send troops.

A total of more than [-] soldiers were counted on the register.

In addition, there are more than 6 auxiliary soldiers.

The number of soldiers dispatched this time reached about [-].

The remaining tens of thousands of people stayed in the camp as a reserve team, and at the same time, they were ready to bypass the [-] green flag soldiers led by Fukang'an and attack Luoyang at any time.

And it was the clamor of these 3 horses shouting together.

It's like thunder in the sky, it's soul-stirring.

Every green flag of the Qing army who heard this earth-shattering cry became dignified.

They all know.

A battle of life and death.

It's about to start.

Liu Zhixie crossed the river on horseback.

The Tianwang flag flutters high above the Jianhe River.

"Long live! Long live! Long live the king of heaven!"

The shouts made Liu Zhixie laugh out loud.

"Good! Very energetic!"

This level of morale has already suppressed the green flag of the Qing army on the opposite side.

I heard that the green flag on the opposite side will have the same hard-core crops as the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty in the future.

But now they are all painted cakes.

How can it compare to these heavenly warriors who have really divided the land under their own command?
this battle.

Heaven will win!

"Heavenly King, the Qing Tartars are starting to line up!"

Next to Liu Zhixie.

It was a general named Luo Siju.

In history, Luo Siju was an outlaw in Sichuan, and later joined Xiangyong in Sichuan and became a general of the Qing army who suppressed the White Lotus Rebellion.

But now, Luo Siju followed Liu Zhixie and became the commander of Liu Zhixie's old guard.

"Dare to go out to form a camp. It seems that this group of Qing Da is still an elite compared with the wretches of the Sichuan Green Camp."

Liu Zhixie laughed.

"But it's still no match for us! In this battle, we will destroy it in one fell swoop!"

"Your Majesty, let me lead the fusiliers to take the lead in this battle!"

Roth had under his command a musketry armed with flintlocks and bayonets.

These flintlock guns were obtained by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom through various channels.

Because there is no arms control in Ming Dynasty, especially equipment like flintlock muskets.

That is even more open to sell.

The military bases in Borneo, Liaodong, and Vladivostok need a lot of equipment.

In addition, sailors who go to sea will be issued gun licenses as long as they are registered.

Although there is still a ban on muskets in Ming Dynasty, as long as you pass the musket shooting test, you can get a legal license to hold a gun.

In addition, one of the imperial examinations in Ming Dynasty is to shoot muskets.

So now the scholars of Ming Dynasty also have a musket in their hands.

In addition, other vassal states will also go to Foshan to buy Foshan brand flintlock guns.

So many outlets.

It is not surprising that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom can buy some.

Let alone the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Some regiments of the Qing army could also buy muskets made in Foshan through various means.

And this "Ming-style enhanced brigade" of 5000 people is Liu Zhixie's darling.

Equipped with flintlock guns, bayonets, and field smoothbore guns, he also bought the "Daming Army Drill Code" from the black market, and conducted strict training in accordance with the drill code.

Liu Zhixie didn't answer, but stood on the horse and began to observe the situation of the Qing army with a telescope.

The Qing army is also the same as the Heavenly Kingdom Army.

There are also a large number of old shotguns, and there are also many phalanxes of spears, swords and shields, and archers with various cold weapons.

But what attracted Liu Zhixie's attention the most was that in the middle of the Qing army's formation, there were also thousands of soldiers equipped with flintlock guns, and the dazzling bayonets made their eyes hurt.

There is also a heavy cannon, which was dragged out by horses, and the black and deep hole pointed forward.

Put down the telescope.

Liu Zhixie turned his head and said to Luo Siju: "Okay! Let the guards do the first battle! The artillery team will also be pulled up, let's bombard his mother for a while!"
