At noon, the tail of the defeated Qing army had already crossed the county seat of Fushan, and the first battle after the 13th Brigade of the Second Garrison Division of the Fuhan Army landed in Shandong -- the Battle of Fushan ended. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It was played very easily. In the future military history, only such a featureless description was recorded lightly:

In the autumn of the 140th year of Chongzhen, on August 28, the 13th Brigade of the 2nd Garrison Division of the Fuhan Army attacked Dengzhou from Yantai to the north, and defeated the main force of the Qing army in Dengzhou at five miles east of Fushan County.

"Master, there aren't many things of value in Fushan County." The logistics minister took a few pieces of paper and walked into the Ya Signature Detention Room in Fushan County, and reported to Gao Jinghui: "In addition to more than 5,000 stone of grain, 300 stone of black beans, and more than 1,000 bundles of forage, there are only a small amount of iron bullets, gunpowder, knives and guns, and the gunpowder is of poor quality. Then there are the 100 broken shotguns. The biggest harvest is more than 400 carts and supporting mules, horses and livestock, cattle, horses, donkeys and mules, the specific classification numbers are on the last page. ”

Gao Jinghui flipped through it casually and found that there was indeed nothing of value, and only more than 200 taels of silver were found, which was not enough to make a tooth sacrifice to the entire brigade of the 13th Brigade in Nanjing. Of course, this figure and the current seizure are only for the present, not the total income of the subsequent county-wide purge, and it may not even be enough for one-twentieth or thirtieth of the county. These are things that the 2nd Brigade itself can reach for. Gao Jinghui then asked, "What are the casualties of our army?" ”

"79 killed and 157 wounded, with a total of 236 casualties; Among them, 52 are disabled or seriously injured, and the final death toll is expected to be around 130. The Minister of Logistics did not look at the statistical table and said with a blank face. The battle brought the 13th Brigade's casualties to nearly 5 percent.

"Killed more than 1,500 Qing infantry and cavalry, and captured more than 3,200." This is the preliminary statistics, which are far less precise than the statistics of their own casualties. "Fifteen artillery pieces of various types and more than 2,000 muskets were captured. A batch of knives, guns, bows and arrows. ”

The 13th Brigade was not difficult to fight in this battle, but the number of Qing troops killed was a bit large, tens of thousands of Qing soldiers plus a large number of civilian bravery, and a horse team, with a total strength of nearly 20,000. The combat effectiveness was insufficient and the number of people was not enough, and the 13th Brigade failed to eat the Qing army in one fell swoop.

When fighting, the Fu Han army wearing cuirass took advantage of it, and when it was pursuing, the Qing army in light armor ran fast.

Of course, the Qing army also suffered huge losses in this battle, losing 5,000 people on the battlefield alone, and it is estimated that they are all brave warriors in this Qing army. What is even more difficult for the Qing army is the containment and collection of the defeated soldiers after the defeat, the Jiaodong Peninsula was originally ravaged by the Fu Han army, and the morale of the Qing soldiers and people here is not high, and the combat effectiveness is even more average. I don't know how many Green Battalion villagers will flee in this defeat, and it is commendable that they can finally gather 10,000 people.

In the First World War, half of the people were lost, all the cannons were lost, and more than half of the horse team was lost, and the defeat of the Qing army was extremely tragic. Presumably, it can also be like a wake-up call, suddenly making the Shandong Qing army and the people completely sober up, and the combat effectiveness of the Fu Han army that came across the sea has not weakened, even if they have just come off the ship, they can easily sweep away the Jiaodong Qing army in the field battle with one enemy and three enemies.

It wasn't until dusk that the entire battlefield was completely cleaned.

The bodies of the Qing soldiers and civilians who were about to be stripped naked were thrown into the pits, and these tunnels were originally the defense lines dug by the Qing soldiers and civilians when they were defending the city before, but now they are all useless.

The people who were pulled out of the county town by the Fu Han army to help frantically stripped off the clothes and shoes of the dead Qing soldiers and the people, and some people picked up the occasional guns and knives left on the battlefield, and carefully wrapped them in their clothes, for fear of being seen by the Fu Han army and took them away. Shandong has been in short supply of copper and iron in recent years, and the price of iron is ten times higher than that of Chen Hanneng.

In some places, iron pots, kitchen knives and iron farm tools were collected by soldiers to make knives, guns and guns, and many people could only use copper coins to make copper knives 'luxury', and then carefully hide them. The matter of three or five families sharing a knife has reappeared on the land of China since the fall of Meng Yuan. Then stoneware pots are also popular in Shandong, Hebei, Shaanxi, Shanxi and other provinces.

The people's 'crazy' scene of the Fu Han army has seen a lot, although as long as it is not too excessive, such as stripping the outer clothes and picking off the middle clothes and even the underwear, the Fu Han army does not care at all. As for knives, guns and iron, I don't care.

The 13th Brigade stayed in Fushan for two days, and a large amount of grain was sent by sea from Yantai to the east of Fushan County, that is, the place where the two main rivers in Fushan, the Qingyang River and the Dagu River, converged, and sea ships could only travel here.

This location is not far from the battlefield where the 13th Brigade exchanged fire with the Qing army, and it is six or seven miles away from the county seat of Fushan. Piles of grain were sent to the shore, and the Fu Han army immediately opened a warehouse to release grain. After the news came out, the whole Fushan was in a sensation, and many people in the countryside dragged their children and daughters to run, and no one would think that the extra six or seven miles of road would be too far.

In fact, the Chen Han officials who opened the warehouse to release grain and the 13th Brigade were completely two systems.

The local dark camp is also about to jump out. Although Fushan is not the place where the Shandong dark camp has been focused on at the beginning, it is next to Yantai, and after the Fu Han army took root in Yantai, Fushan has also become a point that cannot be ignored in the dark camp. Now these people, as well as a few gentry and landlords who had ties to the Fu Han army, became the key to Chen Han's initial rule and credibility in Fushan.

For two days, Chen Han was busy transporting all kinds of materials and personnel, and the 13th Brigade did not immediately go north. During this period, the Qing army of Qingzhou Haron rushed to Laizhou, but Haron did not continue to rush to Dengzhou.

Most of Shandong should know the news of the defeat of the Qing army in Dengzhou. And who else would dare to continue to top the cattle of the 13th Brigade? On the contrary, in the open and in the dark, countless news were sent to Fukuyama, all of which were 'surrenders' of the local gentry, landlords, and even officials.

As one of the provinces with the strongest rural soldiers in the whole world, the gentry and landlords of Shandong held a good amount of power in their hands. But the shame of the gentry in Shandong, which is the hometown of saints, does not seem to be as noble as imagined. When real danger comes, the kneeling is also unusually neat.

On the first day of September, the 13th Brigade of Fushan arrived at Changshan Island by boat, joined the local sailors, and then landed on the west side of Penglai, the capital city of Dengcheng, and the city fell into the hands of the 13th Brigade in the afternoon of the same day.

Dengzhou Minyong, who had been severely beaten by the 13th Brigade three days ago, suddenly turned around and opened the city gate, and the Qing troops in the city either surrendered or immediately abandoned the city and fled. After the 13th Brigade entered Dengzhou, it immediately copied and killed a group of Manchu hardcore gentry with the cooperation of the local 'anyway' gentry and the secret camp, or confiscated all their property in the city if they could not find anyone.

The main force of the Fu Han Army, which landed in Jiaozhou Bay a little later, under the leadership of Chen Ming, had already entered Qingzhou Mansion at this time and killed outside Zhucheng. In the two prefectures of Denglai in the north, which encompasses most of Qingzhou Prefecture, Chen Ming will not send troops to sweep it, there is the 13th Brigade that landed in Yantai, and the 14th Brigade of the 2nd Garrison Division that is about to land in Laizhou Bay, and the two brigades are enough to solve these problems. After they swept away the three mansions of Denglai Qing, they would march straight to Jinan.

Chen Ming wanted to first solve the problem of southwestern and southeastern Lu, and merge the four-way righteous army of the Qingshui Sect and the Mixed Yuan Sect, and then look at the situation of the Battle of Jinan. If it was not necessary, Chen Ming would have to go south with a large army and attack Huai'an.

Where is his biggest goal!

Zhucheng is the hometown of Liu Tongxun and Liu Yong's father and son, Liu Tongxun is a benchmark among the Manchu Han members, even if the Liu family has now become Liu Jia's family, but the influence on the hometown has not weakened, the squire here is the most reactionary, and the hatred with the Han army is also the greatest.

After Liu Yong's death, the people of Zhucheng still existed, although they no longer went out of Shandong to fight, but they were still very effective in dealing with the 'bandits' in the province. Especially Liu Yong's student Zhang Gu, under the care of Liu Tongxun, has already put on the three-grade top.

Zhang Gu was originally in Tai'an, the news that the Fu Han army was about to land in Shandong came, Zhang Gu hurriedly took his subordinates to return to Zhucheng, at that time the bigwigs in Jinan promised Zhang Gu, they would send troops to reinforce Zhucheng, although it turned out to be a flicker, but the Fu Han army had been killed, and the gentry of Zhucheng could only insist on stubborn resistance.

The price of blocking the car with the mantis arm is to be crushed by the mighty wheels, especially when the Han Dynasty is in full swing, these people will be carved into the pillar of shame in history, leaving a stench for thousands of years.

Chen Ming bombarded the city with large and small cannons for thirty minutes, and then took Zhucheng and the county seat at the cost of more than 50 soldiers killed and wounded. More than 2,000 people defending the city were killed, and more than 500 were killed, and the rest were taken prisoner. Zhang Gu, whose legs were blown off, was carried to the prisoner of war camp and was not treated, and along with him, there were five leaders of the Minyong, who were placed on a high platform, and they would bleed to death in front of the captives!

Zhang Gu did not look away, he did not avenge his teacher, on the contrary, he also saw an acquaintance in the prisoner of war camp, an acquaintance he had thought was dead-Li Mingxing. One of the leaders of the Qingzhou battalion at the beginning, Wuju people. Puff one! Zhang Gu looked down on him.

The Qingzhou battalion was almost dead and wounded during the decisive battle in northern Jiangsu, and Li Mingxing did not come back, and Zhang Gu thought he was dead. Unexpectedly, Li Mingxing turned out to be a thief, and at this moment, looking at his clothes, Li Mingxing is still an official.

Thanks to the imperial court, he also gave him a plaque -

Therefore, after entering the city, Chen Ming searched the whole county and ordered that all the recalcitrant gentry and more than 200 male relatives of their immediate families be executed, and the family property was confiscated, and the fate of his wife and concubine and daughter could only be that. The people in the side houses are completely detained, and what awaits them will be the work of the labor camp!

The 14th Brigade landed in Laizhou Bay, and the 13th Brigade came from Dengzhou, and after the Halong Department of Laizhou Prefecture joined the defeated troops in Dengzhou, there were still tens of thousands of horses, but they did not dare to die in Laizhou, and fled to Pingdu Prefecture in the interior.

This location is in the middle of Laizhou and Jiaozhou.

Of course, Haron did not dare to go to Jiaozhou, and after arriving in Pingdu Prefecture, he complained to Jinan, and then led the team to the west and ran wildly, passing through Weixian, and fled into Yidu, the capital of Qingzhou Prefecture.

Since the Fu Han Army landed in Shandong, except for the 13th Brigade in Fushan, which was a tough battle, the rest of the time it was simply an armed parade. But how could this kind of armed march not be deliberately connived at by the Manchus?

The strategy of the Qing army was obvious, that is, to indulge the Fu Han army deep into the hinterland of Shandong.

Fushan is just a contact battle, and so is Qingzhou, which is about to start, and Jinan is the real contest between the two armies.

The Qing Army's Manshangshu and Jiumen Admiral Shu Hede had already entered Jinan.

……

South Seas, Sulu Islands.

In September, it is already golden late autumn in the north, and there is even snow in the northeast and Xinjiang, and it is still hot here. The suppression of the rebellion of the Fu Han army in Sulu has entered the most critical moment, because not only the European pirates invited by the 'rebel nobles' have appeared, but these pirates have also 'raised' soldiers all the time, forming a land army of more than 1,000 people, and at this time they are helping the 'rebel nobles' of Sulu to attack Hole Island.

Hele is Holo, the former is a Chinese transliteration, and the latter is the name of the Spaniards.

On the sea, seven pirate ships of different sizes fluttered skull flags, like hungry wolves staring at the bulky buffalo - the Nanyang naval division of the Fu Han army.

The number of warships on both sides was disproportionate, and the main force gathered to half of the warships of the Nanyang Naval Division was sixty or seventy, most of which were Tong'an Suo, Ting, and Fu ships, and there were very few clumsy old-fashioned warships such as the Rush Boat.

The Zheng brothers are all there, although they have the absolute upper hand in numbers, but the expressions of the brothers are full of caution.

How could the Nanyang sailors, who were themselves in the South Seas, not know the power of Western sailing ships?

Don't look at the fact that the number of their warships is almost ten times that of the Europeans, but if there is no fire dragon bullet in hand, Zheng Lianchang and Zheng Lianfu would not dare to set up a position to fight each other. Even if the artillery on their ships was replaced with new guns of the Fu Han army, it would still not work.

At the same time, on the island of Raku.

The midday sun is blazing hot, and the temperature has risen to the highest point of the day.

Every soldier in the 1st Battalion of the 2nd Marine Regiment of the Nanyang Naval Division was panting and sweating. They're already trying to travel as lightly as possible, but they just can't do it fast.

The Sulu archipelago is a standard tropical area, with high temperatures and rains all year round, and Ho Le Island, as the main island of the Sulu Kingdom, is the size of a county in China, with lush tropical vegetation, many small rivers, and several extinct volcanoes.

Now the soldiers of the 2nd Regiment and the 1st Battalion are shuttling through the rainforest under the guidance of their guides, and the humid and stuffy atmosphere can make these soldiers from their ancestral hometown of Lingnan feel suffocated. The scorching sun can't penetrate the lush foliage above the rainforest, but it also makes the temperature in the space beneath the foliage continue to rise, and it is as if a cover is covered, and the heat makes you want to faint.

The second regiment and the first battalion had to pass through the rainforest in front of them, kill the rebels in the rear, and cut off their retreat while killing the rebels in Hele City, and annihilating the main force of the rebels in one fell swoop, and the most important thing was to solve the 'pirate soldiers' in the rebels. Then they could take the ship of the sailor and sweep the series of small islands in the direction of Zamboanga in the northeast.

A number of warships of the Nanyang Naval Division continued to stay in Halong Bay, and some warships and marines remained in Singapore, and the current confrontation off the coast of Le Island, as well as this battle on land, was already the maximum force that the Nanyang Naval Division could dispatch.

Sihol and the rebellious nobles also concentrated all their sea and land forces, which was a crucial decisive battle.

A straight-line distance of more than ten miles, after entering the rainforest, I twisted and turned, and went around twice the distance. There is no way, there are some places that cannot be crossed at all, and don't think that the native Sulu natives can ignore the dangers of the rainforest, and they can only walk through fixed paths.

The 500 soldiers of the 1st Battalion of the 2nd Regiment moved on their own feet. This time they went into battle lightly, not even a single mortar cannon. In addition to carrying a hundred rounds of paper bullets, the most powerful weapon for each person is five grenades! Then there's water and food.

"Quick, quick. Keep up, keep up—" Zheng Wenhui stood on a nearby tree stump, shouting at his soldiers, who were all exhausted. Sweat left on his forehead and neck, and the stinging skin ached. Zheng Wenhui kept wiping the sweat on his face and neck with his hands.

He is the second son of Zheng Lianfu and the second brother of Zheng Wenjun. His real name is Zheng Wenhui, but after the Zheng brothers defected to the Fu Han Army, he could not use the word Hui, although Chen Hui himself did not give such an order.

After a long journey, the physical exertion is extremely great, but now it is still necessary to persevere. Zheng Wenhui must also hold on! It's an opportunity, a chance for him to rise to the top!

"Brothers, work hard, it's Labuga ahead, we're going to get there!" Zheng Wenhui continued to encourage verbally, but now he can only do this.

There was only one thought left in the minds of all the soldiers, and that was - forward, and forward. Rush to your destination, rush to your destination......
