"Hurry up!" A Qing army commander came up with a whip in his hand and shouted, "Get up and hurry!" What day will you go to grind like this? ”

"Sir, it's so hot!" A soldier who sat shirtless on a stone shook his hat and fanned the wind, although he was sitting in the shade of a tree, the wind was hot. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Xiaoice period has long passed, and the summer in Lunan is already hot, much hotter than Beizhili. At that time, there was no global warming, there was no industrialization, and the summer in the Jingshi area was relatively good. However, Lunan is affected by the subtropical high pressure belt, and the summer is unusually hot, and the temperature in the sun can reach a high temperature of 40 degrees!

Qing troops from all over Shandong came one after another, coming from all over the country and stationed in Jining or Dezhou.

Tang Bin, the governor of the river stationed in Jining, did not dare to slack off, and quickly mobilized ships from all over the canal.

Originally, the governor of the river in this era should have been Cai Shiying, but after Cai Shiying was killed, Tang Bin, who had made great contributions to the Qing court's suppression of the anti-Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty, served as the governor of the river.

Tang Bin, born in a gentry family in the late Ming Dynasty, a physicist, after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, he made another contribution to the development of Cheng Zhu Lixue in the land of China, and was satirized by the late Qing Dynasty revolutionary Zou Rong as a tame slave, who made a significant contribution to the Manchu Qing Dynasty to rule China and imprison the Han people ideologically.

Of course, to contribute to the Manchu rulers meant to harm the Chinese nation. It is precisely because after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, on the basis of the original Ming Dynasty's admiration of Cheng Zhu Lixue, Cheng Zhu Lixue was further carried forward and the Han people became slaves, which enabled the Manchu rulers to steal the Central Plains for 267 years!

It's just that Wang Xinyu, who doesn't have a lot of historical knowledge, doesn't know Tang Bin, if he knows, this person will also be included in the must-kill list by him.

Wang Yu in the south paid more attention to the development of mind science and deliberately suppressed science, which made Tang Bin hate the south very much.

Confucianism is a traditional thought in the land of China, and if Wang Yu proposes to oppose Confucianism, it will inevitably meet with a strong backlash from the gentry all over the world. In fact, Confucianism is not entirely dross, and it is Cheng Zhu Lixue who really harms people. Even in the weak Song Dynasty, Cheng Zhu Lixue was not admired, and Cheng Zhu Lixue began to rise in the Ming Dynasty and was admired to the limit in the Qing Dynasty.

The Qing troops, who arrived in Jining one after another, took ships and went south along the canal, and then entered the Huai River and came to Fengyang.

In fact, the speed of the Qing army's action was not fast, Jiang Zhanyuan originally estimated that it would take about a month to reach Fengyang, but two months have passed, and it has already entered autumn, and the Qing army has not yet arrived in Fengyang. During these two months, the Ming army only camped and confronted each other, and did not attack violently.

The 30,000 soldiers of the Ming Army, plus more than 100,000 railway soldiers, had the railway line behind them to provide supplies, and there was no pressure on food consumption and logistics. However, there are more and more Qing troops, as many as 150,000 Qing troops and more than 200,000 people, and the daily consumption of grain is a large amount, and long-term consumption can only be unfavorable to the Qing army.

"Woo-" The whistle sounded for a long time, and a steam locomotive pulled a special train, slowly leaving the Pukou Station in Jiangbei, Nanjing, and galloping towards Fengyang.

In autumn, the climate is still hot and unbearable, and the name of the autumn tiger is not in vain, and the temperature in early autumn is even hotter than in midsummer. The train was running on the land of the north of the river, and the wind that poured into the windows was also hot. The smoke from the steam locomotive's combustion was mixed with soot, and it wasn't long before the carpets and tables of the lavishly decorated carriages were covered with soot. But you can't open the window without opening the window, and on such a hot day, if you don't open the window, the people in the car will become barbecue.

"The king [auxiliary] minister has delayed well this time! The main forces of the Tartars are all assembled in the Fengyang area! It is estimated that in another month, the number of Tartar soldiers arriving in Fengyang will reach 200,000! Wang Yu, who was sitting at the dining table by the window, said to Wang Yuyou.

At that time, the total strength of the Qing army was about 550,000 people, Wang Yu annihilated 360,000 before and after, Wu Sangui annihilated 130,000, and Li Laiheng completely annihilated more than 100,000 Ganshan green battalions. The Qing court recruited a new batch of soldiers, and the total strength of the Qing court in the whole country is still 430,000 horses, if Fengyang annihilates more than 200,000 Qing troops in one battle, then the total strength of the Qing army will be reduced by half, and it will be too late to recruit new soldiers later.

"Our people are also mobilizing, and there are already 50,000 soldiers in Fengyang! The production and distribution of rifled guns and bottom-expanding shells is accelerating, and there are already five thousand rifled gunners. Wang Yuyou said.

"The ratio of soldiers to enemy is 50,000 to 200,000; The ratio of auxiliaries to the enemy was 150,000 to 300,000. We have 200,000 people, and it will not be a problem at all to defeat the Tartars of 500,000. Wang Yu said confidently.

"Fifty thousand, in fact, against two hundred thousand." Wang Yuyou touched his beard and nodded.

"50,000 against 200,000, it's also an easy win!" Yao Qisheng, who was standing on the side, said with a smile.

The special train drove on the land of Jiangbei, passing by some small stations, and the special train did not stop all the way, roaring past from small stations. Looking out the window, you can see a train of empty cars parked on the sideline, waiting for the special train to pass before they can go. These empty trains are all empty trains on the return trip to Fengyang to transport people or materials.

With this railway line, the problems of the Ming army's troop mobilization and grain transportation were easily solved, and forty pairs of trains traveled back and forth on this railway line every day, transporting personnel and materials to the front line, and bringing back wounded soldiers and a small number of damaged weapons from the front line.

The special train traveled at a speed of thirty kilometers per hour for about six hours, and the rumbling of artillery could already be heard ahead, which meant that it was not far from the front line.

The railway line led directly into the camp of Wang [Fu] Chen, and trenches were dug on both sides of the railway line, blocked by wooden fences, and there was a tower every hundred steps, and the Ming dragoons patrolled back and forth along the railway line. There have been unsightly Qing troops attacking and disturbing before, and the results have all ended in failure.

The special train approached the camp of Wang [Fu] Chen, and the locomotive began to slow down.

"Here we are! It's so fast! Yao Qisheng sighed. In those days, if it was 800 miles in an emergency, it was possible to run 800 miles in one day, but the riding was bumpy, people were sleepy and the horses were tired, and the taste of bumps on horseback was uncomfortable. Now I take the train to cover nearly 400 miles in just three hours, and I don't get tired at all.

"Handsome! Tartar reinforcements are arriving one after another! According to the spies of the last general, the Tartar reinforcements are still coming! Wang [Fu] reported the situation at the front to Wang Yuyu, "The last general deliberately slowed down the attack and waited only for the Tartars to assemble. ”

Walking into the big tent of the Chinese army, Wang Yuyou's finger gestured on the map: "After the Tartars are assembled, the two armies face each other, the Tartars have 200,000 soldiers, 300,000 auxiliaries and Minzhuang, and more than 500,000 people are gathered on the opposite side, and the daily food consumption is amazing, and they will have to support it sooner or later!" But the Tartars did not dare to attack us rashly! ”

"If the Tartars dare to attack, the best! Our new weapons come in handy! Wang Yu nodded.
