Qianlong: Qing Dynasty?What about my Daqing?

Chapter 210 Battle in the Central Plains, Cuirassiers!

"Heavenly King, King Wu has led the army to Fengqiu, as long as we cross the Yellow River, we will be in Kaifeng!"

Hundreds of thousands of troops marched southward.

Naturally, it is impossible to hide any traces, so the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom did not commit any strategic deception.

Instead, he headed south with all his strength, posing as if he would not give up until he broke Kaifeng.

"Is there any movement from the Ming court?"

Liu Zhixie asked.

"I haven't noticed any movement for the time being. In the past two days, I heard that the sixth son of Emperor Zhu was born, and it was born by his empress. Emperor Zhu has three sons."

"Hmph! Having so many sons is not afraid that Emperor Zhu's family will also have nine sons to seize the throne!" Liu Zhixie snorted coldly and said, "Emperor Zhu will definitely not sit back and watch Kaifeng be taken, he will definitely send troops north, and with Emperor Zhu character, this time he will definitely lead the army himself!"

Liu Zhixie guessed right.

How could Emperor Zhu be absent from the battle to regain the Central Plains?

"As long as he comes!" Liu Zhixie gritted his teeth and said, "Go and tell King Wu that he must wait until Emperor Zhu arrives in Kaifeng to fight again. This battle may be defeated but not won. It is best to lead Emperor Zhu as far north as possible." It can lead to the Daming Mansion!"

Liu Zhixie stared at the map.

Daming mansion.

That is a famous mansion in the Central Plains.

History does not know how many celebrities govern Anbang here.In the Song Dynasty alone, Kou Zhun, Wang Qinruo, Lu Yijian, Han Qi, Ouyang Xiu and other famous officials worked here one after another. In "Water Margin", Cai Jing's son-in-law Liang Shijie Liang Zhongshu guards here, and his subordinates such as Li Cheng, Yang Zhi, Suo Chao and other powerful generals are like clouds.Lu Junyi and Yan Qing were born here. Lu Junyi in "Water Margin" is the surname of Daming Mansion.

This is the place where heroes are born in large numbers, and it is also the place where heroes are buried.

Thinking of this, Liu Zhixie punched the map of Daming Mansion.

"In ancient times, there was the siege of Baideng, the emperor of the Han Dynasty. Today, this king made Emperor Zhu encounter a siege of the famous mansion!"

What to do when Emperor Zhu is surrounded?
Of course we have to negotiate terms.

As for the conditions.
Baodi is the king of Qin, if he plays well, then the annual coins of several million Ming Yuan will not be less.

Bad words.

If you can't fight well, just be the king of Pingxi honestly.

Liu Zhixie thought.

have to say.

What Liu Tianwang thinks is indeed very ideal.

If you do it well, you can extort some old coins if you become the King of Qin.

If he doesn't play well, there will still be Wu Sangui's future.

It's really drought and flood protection.

Liu Tianwang's abacus was crackling.

By the Yellow River in Chenqiao Town, Fengqiu County.

The flag of Yao Zhifu, King Wu of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom fluttered high above the Yellow River.

This Chenqiao town is the place where Song Taizu Chenqiao mutinied and the yellow robe was added.

Today is the forefront of the "military demarcation line" between the Ming Dynasty and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

So far, there has been no large-scale war between the two sides.

But now it seems.

The two armies that originally had a common enemy were about to meet each other at this time, and they fought in Kaifeng, Henan, on the banks of the Yellow River.

Soldiers with red scarves wrapped around their heads in the brigade gathered from Henan and southern Zhili to Chenqiao Town.

There are so many people, and the strength of the army is so large that it is difficult to estimate.

There are military camps everywhere along the Yellow River.

The company ran for dozens of miles.

But if you look closely at the soldiers of this huge army.

But can find out.

Except for a few elite men in battle jackets, armed with sharp knives and muskets, their faces were rosy, and the flesh on their faces was also bulging, obviously well nourished.

And most of the soldiers.

They were all disheveled, ragged, and in all kinds of clothes.

Some were wearing long gowns and mandarin jackets, some were wearing Qing army green battalion uniforms, and some were wearing ordinary clothes of ordinary people.

In Henan in winter, the temperature has already dropped below freezing.

So the soldiers were wrapped in all kinds of rags and cotton jackets.

It is simply a team of beggars.

You can't dress warmly.

Not to mention the food.

At this time, all the battalions have already started cooking.

Gnocchi soup on a stick was gurgling on the big iron pot.

But there are not many lumps, but there are quite a lot of wild grasses and vegetables. After a pot of stew, there are all kinds of flavors. If the tangy smell makes ordinary people feel sick.

But the soldiers of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had green lights in their eyes, and they waited for the order from the Shangguan to go up to receive the meal.

caused this situation.

Naturally, it is related to the poor logistics of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

By this time.

Western Henan, around Luoyang.

The people either fled to the territory controlled by the inevitable Daming, or they were wrapped up by Fukang'an in advance.

What was left to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was a piece of white land.

And going north to Zhili is similar.

There were almost no people living for thousands of miles, the villages were burned, and the people shrank into the fortresses built in dangerous places one by one. The trenches were dug deep and the walls were built high.

The small army can't fight at all.

The big troops are coming.

Only after paying heavy casualties can it be done.

But even if such a castle is broken, the supplements that can be obtained are a drop in the bucket for the Taiping Army with hundreds of thousands of people.

So now the supplies of the Taiping Army are all transshipped from Guanzhong.

But how can Guanzhong support the consumption of so many troops?
So now the Taiping Army can only give priority to ensuring the supplies of the Old Brothers Battalion.

other soldiers.

You can fish out some gnocchi on a stick in wild vegetable soup.

It is already regarded as the high-level Taiping Army who loves soldiers like children.

But Wu Wang Yao Zhifu's Chinese army camp.

At this time, there is a big banquet, and the wine is fragrant.

King Wu's Shandong chefs served Shandong cuisine one after another.

Sixi meatballs, sweet and sour Yellow River carp, jar meat, braised sea cucumber with green onions, braised prawns in soy sauce.
Plus the Fenjiu bought from Shanxi Laokengs.

Under King Wu's command, there were officers above the commander-in-chief, Sihou Luo Siju, Yidu Hou Zhang Zhengmo, and Zhijiang Hou Niejieren, three lords gathered together, with oil dripping from the corners of their mouths and wine pouring into their intestines.

Wu Wang Yao Zhifu did not have much appetite.

He looked a little worried.

Zhang Zhengmo, the Marquis of Yidu, stood up and said with a smile, "Why bother King Wu, we have 30 troops, Emperor Zhu of the Ming court has [-] to [-] troops in Liaodong, and another [-] to [-] in Zhaosi of the Central Plains. How many soldiers and horses can the imperial court have now? It's only [-] to [-], why should we be afraid of him!"

Yao Zhifu cheered up when he heard the words.

"The King of Heaven wants to lure Emperor Zhu to go north, but Emperor Zhu hasn't moved yet. It seems that we don't have to urge him!"

"After everyone is full of wine and food, go back to the camp separately, restrain your subordinates, and cross the Yellow River early tomorrow morning!"

"First pull out the strongholds of the Ming army around Kaifeng City, and go straight to Kaifeng City! This king does not believe that Emperor Zhu can sit back and watch Kaifeng be attacked!"

Following Yao Zhifu's words, it fell.

All the generals in the tent immediately cheered.

"Yes, Emperor Zhu can do anything great. We have fought all the way here, and we are not afraid of anyone!"

"Emperor Zhu dares to lead troops here, don't think about going back!"

"It's better to break Kaifeng directly and go south to seize the bird seat of Emperor Zhu!"

"It's a pity that the king of heaven didn't come. If he came, we would also have a mutiny in Chenqiao, with a yellow robe."

mutiny?

What has changed.

A bunch of uneducated bumpkins.

Yao Zhifu shook his head inwardly, but said with a smile on his face: "When the big victory comes back, this king will drink with all the generals again!"

Now is the dry season of the Yellow River, so the river is not wide.

Even crossing the river is not a big problem.

Of course, the weather is so cold that it is easy to frostbite soldiers and generals by crossing the river.

So a simple pontoon is still needed.

Anyway, there are only twenty or thirty steps to the river surface.

Since ancient times, the Yellow River has not been a "natural danger". In the Northern Song Dynasty, the Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo had no danger to defend, and could only rely on hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops to defend Kaifeng.

So crossing the Yellow River is not difficult.

The key is how to fight after crossing the Yellow River.

Since it is to cheat.

That must be more realistic.

Emperor Zhu couldn't see the flaw.

Otherwise, how can it be considered a fraudulent defeat?

When Yao Zhifu's army arrived at the bank of the Yellow River.

1793 12 Month 27 Day.

The cavalry of the brigade is entering Xuzhou Mansion.

This is the Imperial Guard Corps led by Ming Emperor Zhu Daohua himself.

This regiment organized a guard cavalry brigade, two dragoon brigades, and an artillery brigade.

Whether it is the Guards Cavalry or Dragoons, or the Artillery Brigade.

They are all equipped with one man and two horses.

The difference is that the artillery brigade is equipped with a large number of horses that look very tall and strong, dragging a cannon and rolling forward.

The total number of Emperor Zhu's Guards was 8000.

It is Emperor Zhu's old guard army, and it is also the army that will be mobilized every time Emperor Zhu personally conquers.

Together with the Guards Corps, there was also an officer observation battalion composed of graduates from the Daming Army Academy, and the 1st Brigade of the Daming Army with the best equipment.

The total number is almost 5000 people.

Among them, the First Cavalry Brigade of the Guards Corps was the first real cavalry brigade in Ming Dynasty.

The composition of the number is to select veterans from the cavalry battalions and companies of the original brigades, and at the beginning of last year, a nationwide martial arts examination was held in the Ming Dynasty. More than 8000 martial arts talents were recruited, and 8000 martial arts talents were selected from these [-] martial arts talents. The man with excellent equestrian skills entered the first cavalry brigade of the Ming Guards.

It can be regarded as ascending to the sky in one step, becoming the subordinate and personal soldier of the Son of Heaven.

These Wu Xiucai were mixed with the old brothers selected from various brigades.

It became the initial foundation of the first cavalry brigade of the Daming Guards Regiment.

After nearly a year of training.

All 5000 members of this cavalry brigade went north with Emperor Zhu, and were about to go to the battlefield in the northern Central Plains!
Emperor Zhu was riding on a horse at this time.

Next to you is this bodyguard cuirassier with bright breastplate!

The number of people is only [-], but it is unknown how much wealth has been accumulated.

The highest standard of training, the highest standard of equipment.

The war horses are all Indian folded ear horses and Arabian horses bought from India and Arabia. At the same time, a Mongolian horse is also equipped for daily riding,

Daming now has Liaodong, so there is no shortage of horses.

The breastplate was forged in one piece with steel, and it was polished brightly.

Equipped with lances, sabers, and the newly developed 1793-style revolver 0.4-inch caliber six-shot pistol in the second year of Guangfu.

Emperor Zhu even thought so.

Just rely on this cavalry.

It can sweep the Central Plains.

But sweeping the Central Plains is not the soldiers of this elite guard cavalry.

They are going to gallop in Mobei, Western Regions, Central Asia, and Siberia.

Tsarist Russian Cossacks are their enemies!
