For the coach of Jiangning's first battle, Yi Zhixiang also took some effort to collect information and ponder in detail, what he hopes most is of course Lin Zexu, if Lin Zexu is the head coach, with the happy cooperation experience of the two in Guangzhou, he will at least have the opportunity to influence the entire battle situation, however, he estimates that Lin Zexu's chance is not too big.

Although the military generals of the imperial court are withering and not available, they are not unavailable, and there is also a military general who has won the weight of the Daoguang weapon - Yang Fang, the Marquis of Guoyong.

At the beginning of Daoguang, Xinjiang Zhang Ge rebelled, the northwest used troops on a large scale, and the military general who stood out was Yang Fang, for more than ten years, the veterans who participated in the pacification of the northwest such as Yang Yuchun, a famous general of Jiadao, and a group of Manchurian and Mongolian generals Changling, Yulin, etc., have died one after another, and now the only remaining veteran is Yang Fang.

Yang Fang, Zicheng Village, Guizhou Songtao people. When he was young, he joined the army because of repeated failures, and in his early years, he suppressed the rebellion of the Miao people in Hunan and Guizhou from Yang Yuchun and was promoted to garrison. During the Jiaqing period, he suppressed the rebellion of the White Lotus Sect in Sichuan, Chu and Shaanxi provinces with Erledeng, and suppressed the rebellion of Li Wencheng in Henan from Nayancheng, and was promoted to the governor of Gansu.

When Zhang Ge rebelled in Xinjiang, Yang Fang was the governor of Guyuan at the time, and was ordered to participate in the counterinsurgency, all the way to the battle, conquering everything, and capturing Zhang Ge in Kar Tiegai Mountain.

However, Yi Zhishu believes that although Yang Fang has made many meritorious achievements, it is not very likely that he will be in command, and it is estimated that Daoguang is very likely to use this battle to train Manchurian and Mongolian generals, with Yang Fang as the main general.

Seeing that Chen Huacheng was silent, he said tentatively: "Yang Fang, the governor of Hunan, has been in the military for a long time, has made outstanding achievements, and is known for his prestige, will the imperial court transfer the **** Marquis to come to assist Lin Butang?" ”

Chen Huacheng shook his head slowly, and said: "This large-scale attack by Yingyi means that the southeast sea frontier has been eventful since then, and now there are almost no incompetent generals in the DPRK and China, how can the imperial court not take the opportunity to train talents?" Saying that, he glanced at Yi Zhizhi and said: "Jiangnan is prosperous and rich, and it is a heavy tax area for the imperial court, if it is defeated, the consequences will be unimaginable...... Contentment, as a Shanghai Dao and the initiator of the Battle of Jiangning, can't there be no specific plan? ”

For the battle of Jiangning, Yi Zhixin can be said to be unsure, he really has no confidence in the Eight Banners Green Battalion, he does not dare to expect a big victory, can severely frustrate the arrogance of the British army, he burned high incense, listening to Chen Huacheng's words, he sighed slightly before saying: "Not in his position, not in his politics, such a big war, how can a Su Songtai soldier in the lower district be able to point fingers, besides, the specific tactics are really not in the lower division."

However, in the next steal, the disparity between the combat strength of the two sides is too great, even if the Yingyi fleet can be lured to attack Jiangning, it is difficult to besiege, and preventing the Yingyi from breaking through is the focus and key to this battle. ”

Chen Huacheng said in a deep voice: "If you are content, you don't worry about Yingyi capturing Jinling? ”

This question, Lin Zexu also asked, but Lin Zexu is a civil official, Chen Huacheng is a military general, Yi Zhizu shook his head slightly, took out a cigar and lit it, and then said: "If Yingyi really captures Jinling, it is unwanted, the street battle in the city is not conducive to Yingyi's artillery to exert its power, but our army has the advantage of geography and strength, as long as you dare to fight, a Jinling city is enough to bury tens of thousands of British soldiers." ”

Hearing this, Chen Huacheng showed a wry smile and fought with Yingyi in the streets? This is really a high view of the combat power of the Eight Banners Green Battalion, Rong Ma has been a lifelong soldier, as the governor of Jiangnan, he knows that it is no problem for the Eight Banners Green Battalion to fight against the wind, and it is no longer a matter of hope for hard fighting, bloody battles, and hand-to-hand combat.

He didn't bother to say anything, stood up and said: "Let's prepare, tomorrow I will go with the old man to inspect the Wusong Fort, and then go up the river, carefully survey the situation along the way, and Lin Butang will draft a plan for us, and it is best to keep Jinling from losing." As he spoke, he admonished, "Wear civilian clothes." ”

Yi Zhi couldn't help but be satisfied, and hurriedly got up and said: "Chen Junmen, Xia Guan has just taken office, and things are complicated ....... ”

"The number one priority at the moment is military affairs." Chen Huacheng walked away quickly without looking back.

Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace, Xinuan Pavilion.

Daoguang sat on the kang, glanced at Mu Zhang'a and Wang Ding, the ministers of military aircraft, and Yucheng, the secretary of the military department, who were kneeling below, and said: "I have issued a secret decree to transfer soldiers and horses from Shanxi, Henan, Hunan, and Hubei provinces to Xuzhou and Jiujiang respectively to preside over the military affairs in Jiangnan. ”

Hearing this, Wang Ding's heart sank, presiding over the military affairs of Jiangnan, the most suitable person is Lin Zexu, the governor of Liangjiang who is sitting in Jiangning, Daoguang asked, obviously he doesn't like Lin Zexu, is there a suitable candidate in the court?

Mu Zhang'a was happy in his heart, what he was most worried about was that Lin Zexu presided over the military affairs of Jiangnan, no matter how strong the Yingyi fleet was, and entered the inland waterway of the Great River, it was also a short talk about the dragon's sleepiness, and the tiger fell into Pingyang.

Why doesn't Daoguang like Lin Zexu? As soon as his mind turned, he said tentatively: "Zhengbai Banner led the Minister of the Guard, the Minister of the Imperial Front, Yishan, once accompanied the Changling expedition to Kashgar, Xinjiang, and successively served as the leader of the Tarbagatai team, the counselor of Ili, and the ....... of General Ili. ”

He paused slightly, seeing that Daoguang was silent, he knew that he had guessed correctly, Daoguang was intentionally cultivating clan talents, and immediately said smoothly: "Yishan is not only a noble of the clan, but also has no lack of experience in commanding troops. ”

Listening to his recommendation of Yishan, Wang Ding realized that it was not good, but he had to argue with reason, "Weichen recommended Lin Zexu to preside over the military affairs of Jiangnan, Lin Zexu was in office in Guangdong, fought with Yingyi in many ways, and won repeatedly, this battle took Jiangning as the battlefield, Lin Zexu was the governor of Liangjiang, controlled the soldiers and horses of the two rivers and three provinces, and was the former governor of Huguang, familiar with the generals of Hunan and Hubei, and was the best candidate. ”

Daoguang looked at the two of them silently, and only after a while did he sigh lightly and said, "I am short of people, and there is a shortage of ...... of Wenchen and military generals." ”

Hearing this, Mu Zhang'a, as the chief minister of military aircraft, hurriedly kowtowed and said: "The world is so big, talents are replaced, and the court lacks people, which is a dereliction of duty by the auxiliary ministers, please punish the emperor." ”

Daoguang glanced at him and said, "This account can't be counted on your head, but you are a reference." ”

"Minions understand." Mu Zhang'a hurriedly said: "The slaves secretly think that there is no shortage of talents in the court, but they lack experience and opportunities. ”

Nodding slightly, Daoguang said: "At the beginning of my imperial pole, the northwest used troops on a large scale, first the Zhanger Rebellion, and then the Kokand Army rebellion, which lasted ten years, and only a few years later?" With the withering of a group of veterans, the court has no available generals ....... With a sigh, he continued: "The northwest is not quiet, the southeast is not peaceful, and the imperial court has to train a group of young generals, so as not to have a talent gap in the future." ”

How much younger is Yishan than Lin Zexu? Wang Ding was slanderous in his heart, but he didn't say much, after all, he couldn't intervene in such a major matter as the nobles of the clan, so he had to kowtow and say: "The emperor's wisdom is far-reaching, beyond the reach of Weichen and others." ”

"Lin Zexu controls the two rivers, is familiar with Yingyi, and is in charge of his counselor's military affairs." Daoguang said slowly: "The first-class Guoyong Marquis, Yang Fang, the governor of Hunan, has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he is also in charge of his counselor's military affairs. ”

"The emperor is thoughtful." Mu Zhang'a flattered, and then said: "Since it is to cultivate young generals, the slaves earnestly pray that a few people will be selected from among the children of the clan to accompany the expedition." ”

Such a good opportunity to sell favors, Shangshu Yucheng of the Ministry of War naturally did not want to miss it, and immediately bowed down and said: "The slave recommends the king of Zasak County, the white flag of Manchuria, and the monk Greenqin." ”

"There's no urgency." Daoguang said slowly: "The top priority is to lure the Yingyi fleet into the inland river, and it is necessary to strictly prevent leakage of news, the children of the clan, and we will talk about it later." Kneel down. ”

The three of them retreated, Daoguang raised his legs and got off the kang, pacing back and forth in the warm pavilion, Yishan and Yijing are all candidates for his preferred supervisor Jiang Ning, not only for the experience of cultivating the generals of the clan, but also for the sake of outsiders, Yuanqi group training, the five thousand yuan Qi group training that came to Jiangning this time are all elite, he wants to take this opportunity to exhaust the Yuanqi group training, so that it will be much easier to dismiss the five thousand in Guangzhou in the future.

Monk Grinqin? He pondered for a long time before he instructed the outside world: "Come here, summon Yishan and Monk Greenqin to meet you." ”

Just thirty years old, burly, bearded monk Lingqin walked into the Qianqing Palace, he was born in an ordinary Taiji family, the family was poor in childhood, once with his father for herding, but in the fifth year of Daoguang was extremely lucky to be selected as the heir of the king of Sotnamu Duobu Zhai County, inheriting the Horqin left wing rear banner Zasak County King. In December of the same year, he was ordered to walk in front of the emperor and enjoy the three-eyed flower.

Daoguang six years, reward Zhu Yan. In the ninth year of Daoguang, he wore a yellow coat. In February of the same year, Guan Shangyu was ready to deal with things. In September, the firearms camp was held.

In the fourteenth year of Daoguang, he was awarded the former minister of the emperor and the minister of the white flag guard.

In the first month of the fifteenth year of Daoguang, the Red Flag Mongolian Capital was signed. In February, he supervised the Tiger Gun Battalion. In July, the Prime Minister set up camp. In December, he was the Minister of Military Parade. In the sixteenth year of Daoguang, he was awarded the white flag of Manchuria.

In just ten years, his whole life has undergone earth-shaking changes, and now it can be described as a spring breeze, he doesn't know why Daoguang suddenly summoned him, but it will not be a bad thing, although he is not a saint now, but he is quite important and trusting.

Walking briskly into the Xinuan Pavilion, the monk Grinqin saluted and said, "The slave respectfully invites St. Ann." Then he got up and walked to the white felt carpet in front of Daoguang and knelt down, watching him come in to salute, the corner of Daoguang's mouth brought a smile, and said: "You have been commanding the army all these years, are you willing to go to the battlefield to fight with real swords and guns?" ”

"Raise soldiers for a thousand days, use them for a while, and the servants are ready to serve the emperor at any time." Monk Greenqin said calmly: "The emperor is driven, and the slave will never give up." ”

"Okay." Daoguang said, "Go home and prepare, there will be a will for you later." ”

Monk Greenqin walked out of the gate of the Qianqing Palace, and met Yishan who came quickly, this is not a place to greet each other, the two of them staggered by, Yishan's full name is Aixin Jueluo. Yishan, he is the fourth grandson of Kangxi's fourteenth son, Yinyu, the king of Xianjun, is a pure Tianhuang noble, the clan Jueluo, however, the creation makes people, Yinyu and his eldest son Hongchun have been removed from the title, the court has a system, the prince is not allowed to inherit, Hongchun was degraded, and won the "yellow belt", so that Yishan completely lost the opportunity to obtain the knighthood, and was reduced to an idle clan without a title.

Although the bloodline is noble and pure, but Yishan is an adult is a four-grade idle clan, four taels of silver a month, and a standard for armored soldiers, after decades of hard work, he has only stepped into the position of the minister of the guard and the minister of the imperial front, and compared with those mediocre and incompetent, only know how to carry cages and birds, and indulge in the sound of dogs and horses, he is extremely outstanding.

Daoguang and Yishan, according to the generation, are uncles and nephews, seeing Yishan come in to greet him, Daoguang said kindly: "Flat, sit." After Yishan Xie En sat down, he slowly increased the British army, intending to attack on a large scale, possibly focusing on attacking Tianjin, Jiangning and Guangzhou, as well as luring the British fleet to attack Jiangning, and secretly transferring troops, and then said in detail, and then said straight to the point: "I want to appoint you as the Qincha, go south to Jiangning, and have full authority to command this battle." ”

Yishan was so excited that he even breathed a little roughly, this is not only Daoguang's trust in him, but also an opportunity, this battle is a great victory, maybe he can get a shell back, he hurriedly calmed down, got up and knelt down and said: "Even if the nephew is broken, he will also swear to annihilate Yingyi in Jiangning!" ”

"This battle is related to the national fortune of our Qing Dynasty for a hundred years, and Jingxuan must not have the slightest light enemy and luck." Daoguang said with a solemn expression: "In addition to relying on Lin Zexu and Yang Fang, there is another person who must also pay special attention to ...... Who does Jing Xuan know? ”

After a little hesitation, Yishan said tentatively: "Easy to be content? ”

"Not bad." Daoguang said: "Luring Yingyi to fight Jiangning was proposed by Yi Zhishu, and in addition, the five thousand elites of the Yuanqi regiment have already arrived in Taiping Mansion near Jiangning. After a slight pause, he continued: "For Yuanqi's group training, Jingxuan should pay great attention to it, in the battle of Dinghai, Yuanqi's five thousand regimental training can capture four thousand Yingyi, and its combat power should not be inferior to Yingyi, if you want Jiangning to win a big victory, you must make good use of Yuanqi group training." ”

Listening to the 5,000 yuan odd group practice, Yishan couldn't help but be overjoyed, and nodded again and again: "The nephew understands." ”

"There's one more thing you don't understand." Daoguang unconsciously lowered his voice and said: "This battle is not only to annihilate the Yingyi fleet, but also to fight for the Guangyuan Qi group training, as well as the newly recruited 2,000 volunteers in Shanghai County. ”

Yishan was stunned, looked at Daoguang with a puzzled face, and hesitated: "The nephew is stupid." ”

"Yuanqi's group training is called group training, but it is actually a private army, and Yuanqi plans to keep it for a long time." Daoguang's eyes flashed with a faint light, "The imperial court needs Yuan Qi, but it doesn't need Yuan Qi to practice." ”

"My nephew understands." Yishan couldn't understand it anymore in an instant, Yuan Qi with Yuan Qi group training is like a tiger, without Yuan Qi group training, Yuan Qi is purely a fat pig, but what he is worried about is that Yuan Qi group training can fulfill his wishes? Easy to know content is not stupid no matter how you look at it. (To be continued.) )
