Chapter 186: Monk Greenqin's Dagu Sunset

All the arrangements stopped, and Goxinga began to worry about the map, he didn't really understand the new enemies he was about to face, he had only heard of their invincible record of almost unifying the earth. In his previous life, Goxinga focused on weapons, and he didn't know much about the army, and his main impression of European and American armies came almost entirely from movies. However, there are not many war movies from the 40s to the 80s of the nineteenth century, and most of them are mainly about the plot, and the reaction to the army is pitiful. Gohinga had no impression of the British army in Enfeld P1853, and he did not understand the enemy's combat power or how they fought.

"Why is Dong Weng so depressed!" Pi Runmin sent a table of recent expenses, and when he saw Guo Xing'a frowning at the map, he hurriedly stepped forward to show his value. Among the trio of wanted criminals, Zou Degui Shenlong saw the head but did not see the tail, it should be reused by Guoxinga, Zheng Qifeng is also a heavyweight in the arsenal, but Pi Runmin's position in front of Guoxinga is slightly embarrassing.

"There was an official document from the imperial court, saying that Britain and France had used force again, the British occupied the Lushun area, and the French army occupied Yantai. Therefore, the Ministry of War ordered the defenders everywhere to reorganize their armaments and prepare to meet the Anglo-French forces! I don't know much about the weaponry and tactics of the British and French armies, and I'm trying to figure out a way to see if I can come up with a perfect plan. Guo Xing'a didn't shy away from it, and carefully explained the situation to Pi Runmin, after all, one more person means one more idea.

"Dong Weng doesn't have to worry, we can't see this Anglo-French-Yi people, it's rare to have time Dong Weng might as well think about how to clean up the situation in Jiangnan." The strategists' staff pay attention to their words, and the same is true for Pi Runmin, who has to get your attention when he speaks.

"Jiangnan?" Guoxinga has a golden finger, so he knows that the British and French forces are definitely going to come in, but Pi Runmin suddenly threw out Jiangnan, and he was still a little curious.

"The situation in the south of the Yangtze River is getting worse day by day, Changmao is advancing all the way, although the imperial court strictly ordered all the armies to rush to help, but it also had little effect. Jiangnan is the fundamental important place for the imperial court to pay taxes, how to lose, the imperial court will inevitably send more elite soldiers and strong generals to the south, Dong Weng became famous in Jiangnan, is the most suitable candidate. Pi Runmin's eyes have also been staring at Jiangnan.

"What about the Anglo-French forces? Zhili originally didn't have many soldiers and horses, and if I was sent south, how could I resist when the British and French forces came? "Although the Qing Dynasty is the defending side, foreigners have come to the door and sent elites to fight the civil war, Guoxinga really can't agree.

"Those who are long-haired will take the country and replace it, and those who will be drawn by the two will open the port to seek wealth, and when the country is in charge of the auxiliary, they must know the truth that the lesser of the two evils should be taken." Pi Runmin and Su Shun have the same idea.

"Endure?" Guoxing Ah Ke didn't remember that Xianfeng endured it, but in the end it started.

"It's just an ordinary thing to endure humiliation and burden, and even if the war starts in Zhili, Dong Weng is afraid that he will not have the opportunity to make contributions!" Pi Runmin really wanted to go to Gangnam, where there were many things he longed for, such as wanted warrants, which almost no one cared about.

"Zhili is at war, how can there be no business for me?" Although the Anglo-French alliance did not take the road of Gu'an, Goxinga could take the initiative to attack, and there might be no battle there.

"The people who are good at Yi people take advantage of the unpreparedness to attack, and now the monk king is stationed at the mouth of Dagu, Tianjin, how can Yangyi pass." Pi Runmin admires Monk Greenqin very much, in fact, at this time, most people put their hopes on Monk Greenqin.

"The foreigners' ships are strong and the guns are sharp, how can the Dagu Pass be defended, when the war is in the waterway around Tongzhou, relying on the more than 10,000 Mongolian iron horses of Seng Lingqin alone, it must be enough!" Guo Xing'a accidentally told the historical facts of his previous life.

"Dong Weng underestimated the heroes of the world, the monk king also defeated the British and French Yi people a few years ago, even if the Yi people make a comeback this time, they will definitely sink in the sea off Tianjin." Pi Runmin, like most scholars in this era, was very confident in Monk Greenqin.

"The Second Battle of Dagu?" China won such a battle in the Opium War, and of course Guo Xinga remembers.

"Dong Weng also knows, since Xianfeng eight years of the Yi people attacked Dagukou, the monk king's defeat of the enemy battle is indeed the second time.

"It's just a fluke, it's hard to repeat the coincidence in the world twice, the Dagukou soldiers are short of weapons, and the overall combat power is definitely not as good as Yingyi's original intention." Guo Xing'a poured two cups of tea over, and when he talked about the rout of the various departments of Zhili, Guo Xing'a was also heartbroken.

"Dong Weng is biased, and the monk king also won by lying on his salary and tasting his courage, which is not just a coincidence as Dong Weng said." Pi Runmin is a bit like a fan who has been scolded for his even type, and he categorically can't introduce Guo Xing'a's displeasure with Monk Greenqin.

"Since Yangyi captured the fort in less than an hour in the eighth year of Xianfeng, the monk king has also worked hard, and finally killed Yangyi in fear." What Pi Runmin admires is Monk Greenqin's ability to transform decay into magic.

"Really?" Guo Xing'a rolled his eyelids, the problem that Pi Runmin discussed in the year was meaningless, and Guo Xing'a knew how to solve it.

"Nature is true! During the period of the monk's rectification of Tianjin, two new soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Beijing Battalion were added, including 500 people from the inner firearms battalion, the outer firearms battalion, the Jianrui battalion, and the patrol battalion, which were stationed in the north and south forts and Shuanggang respectively. The 500-strong horse team of the Jelimu League, led by the deputy capital commander Chengbao, was stationed in Xincheng; The first-class guard Bul and the second-class guard Ming An led the Zhaowuda League (Chifeng) horse team of 500 people and stationed in Xinhe. The total number of green battalion soldiers living in the Dagu Association reached 300, and the Dagu Water Division was newly established. In the early stage, the monk advocated the organization of local militias, and the number of people had a qualitative leap. Pi Runmin is like a treasure, and he has all the things about Monk Lingqin in mind.

From the British envoy in the Qianlong period, the British envoy in the Magarni Jiaqing period, Amsterd, once landed at the mouth of Dagu in the name of "peace" and learned about the defense measures here. During the First Opium War, the British army invaded Dagu in the north, which greatly shocked the Qing court, and in 1841 alone, the Daoguang Emperor sent his cronies, Saishan'a, Nerjing, and Seng Greenqin to Dagu to plan for defense, after the Opium War ended. The Qing government established the Dagu Association to increase the number of troops. However, foreign invaders still often harassed them, and the more famous ones were the British warships in 1850, the Anglo-American fleet in 1851, and the Russian military reconnaissance in 1857. Therefore, starting from Daoguang, it is clear that the fortifications of Dagukou have been being strengthened, and now they are quite large-scale.

"How do you know so much, and how are we armed? How was the battle? Do you know any of these? Guo Xing'a drew a question mark in his heart, this Pi Runmin always knew many things that he shouldn't know.

"Although it is hearsay, it can also help Dong Weng see the situation clearly. In terms of equipment, Monk Greenqin rebuilt the fort at a huge cost in accordance with the instructions of the Lord of Long Live Lord. There are six in total, three on the south bank, two on the north bank, and one stone crack fort. As a way back. A total of 60 artillery pieces were set up, including two 12,000 jin copper cannons, nine 10,000 jin copper cannons, two 5,000 jin copper cannons, and 23 Western iron cannons. Among them, the bronze cannons are mainly cast by the Beijing Bureau and the Tongzhou Bureau, and the texture is not inferior to the foreign cannons. Pi Runmin's "hearsay" is unusually detailed.

"The fort is mainly to watch the artillery battle, the guy of Monk Lingqin is good, but if you can't do it, it's useless to have any weapons!" Guo Xing'a didn't expect that Monk Greenqin's equipment was so good, and at the same time, he secretly decided that he must let Fushun and the others see Pi Runmin to death, this guy is too dangerous. He is not an intelligence peddler, how can he know the inside story of such a belief.

The monk still attaches great importance to the training of soldiers, and he ordered the soldiers to set up a flagpole on the Jixin Beach at the mouth of Dagu, and take a boat to inspect it. On the day of the high winds and waves, the person who plays the * cannon will be rewarded with 2 taels of silver. Boost morale. In addition, I also watched the training of Shui Yong in person. In short, the large-scale training activities have enhanced the fighting ability and enthusiasm of the officers and men of the fort. "Pi Runmin can be called a die-hard fan of Seng Lingqin.

"The weapons and equipment are similar, and there are no problems with personnel training, is there anything that is not rigorous in deployment?" Guo Xing'a didn't want to find a loophole in Seng Lingqin's last victory, he wanted to know how Seng Lingqin would lose next time.

"The monk learned the lesson of the enemy ship breaking into the barrage in the eighth year of Xianfeng and the throat was occupied by the enemy, and personally supervised the construction of three iron chains to the barrage. At the same time, iron bars were installed, wooden fences were installed, and huge rafts were connected to block enemy ships. Embankment walls were built around all forts, trenches were dug outside the embankment walls, and wooden piles were erected. In this way, the Dagu Fort formed a complete defense system. Although there is still a gap between it and the ingenious fortifications of Dong Weng, it is also a rare solid camp. Pi Runmin also couldn't understand why Guo Xing'a stubbornly thought that the British and French forces would come in.

"Monk Greenqin is attentive, but there must be something he didn't expect, there must be ......," Guo Xing'a muttered to himself, and he didn't want to understand in his heart.

"In this service, our army sank four enemy ships, severely damaged six ships (completely lost their combat effectiveness), captured two ships, killed and wounded 426 British troops, 14 French soldiers, captured one British and one American soldier, and the commander of the British invasion fleet was seriously wounded. Pi Runmin felt that Guo Xing'a was just cautious, and he couldn't see that others were better than him, and Monk Greenqin won, so Guoxinga had to find all kinds of uses to attack Monk Greenqin.

"Yes! What a rare victory! Do you think that Seng Lingqin will be too proud and lead to a major mistake? "Guo Xing'a is like a fault-finder, he can't see Seng Greenqin good, so he must find Monk Greenqin's shortcomings and problems.

"Dong Weng doesn't want to go south, so he doesn't have to arrange the monk king like this!" Pi Runmin guessed that Guo Xing'a might be reluctant to go south, so he always wanted to stay in Zhili, hoping that Monk Lingqin and a few others would have problems, and then let himself come out to clean up the mess.

"Sort of! Tell me a little bit more about it! Guo Xinga didn't care what Pi Runmin thought.

"Good! Please listen carefully, I will win the first big victory! Pi Runmin said in a loud voice.
