"1000 vests can't break 1500 foot teams! Fu Fang, what are you eating? We've lost the face of our Eight Banners Iron Rider to you! ”
In Shitan Town, the old camp of the Qing army, Monk Greenqin unceremoniously reprimanded Fu Fang, who had just returned from defeat with three or four hundred vests that had lost their armor.
"Lord Wang, it's not that the subordinates are incompetent, it's really that the foreign spear team of the rebels is too powerful, first bombarded with 6 9-pounder guns, and then hit with foreign guns that can shoot three or four hundred paces, and then all the foreign guns fired a salvo, just a wave of charge, we have no more than 600 warriors, this battle can't be fought like this......"
Fu Fang was in tears as he reported the process of his 1,000 vest fiasco to Monk Greenqin. Monk Lingqin snorted coldly when he heard half of this.
"The traitor's foreign guns and cannons are so powerful, why didn't they hurt half of your Fu Fang's hair? The guns and guns of the traitors shouldn't know you Fu Fang, right? ”
"Lord Wang, that's because his subordinates didn't lead the team to charge, and his subordinates followed behind the team."
"You're afraid of death!" Monk Grinqin shouted angrily.
He is in a very bad mood now, the result of the previous battle is naturally a big defeat, the newly established stockade was captured by the Ming army, plus the casualties of the vest led by Fu Fang, the soldiers of the Eight Banners lost more than 3,000 in less than a day's battle! As for the losses of the Green Battalion, it is already too numerous to calculate...... When Monk Greenqin retreated with his troops, he directly abandoned the green battalion soldiers on the battlefield and asked them to block the bullets for the Eight Banners! Coupled with the "difference between the flag and the Han" in the Qing army in Guangdong during this time, the Han soldiers and generals in the green battalion had long been cold, so they surrendered and fled in pieces. There weren't a few who would retreat to the old camp in Rocky Beach Town. Thus the First World War was fought. The 25,000 green camp that Monk Grinqin brought out. There are less than 3,000 of them that can be gathered, and more than 500 of them are banner officers in the green battalion.
"That's right, my subordinates are really afraid of death! However, the subordinates are not afraid of themselves, but for the Qing Dynasty! "Fu Fang said confidently." Lord Wang, let your subordinates say something from the bottom of your heart, the peaceful and prosperous era of our Qing Dynasty has passed, and in the future, it will be against the Ming Dynasty and the thieves who will fight for the world with us! But have we fought against the Ming Dynasty in the Qing Dynasty? Judging from the battle of the Dongjiang River, it is indisputable! ”
"Nonsense!" Monk Greenqin gritted his teeth.
"Lord Wang!" Fu Fang arched his hand, "The words of the subordinates are not nonsense." You know it all in your heart...... It's only been a day since we fought here on the Dongjiang River, and we have lost 20,000 green camps and 3,000 eight banners! How many people have been killed or injured by the rebels? I'm afraid there are not 1000 yet! How many green camps do we have in the Qing Dynasty? How many Eight Banners? If you want such a way of playing, the world will be surnamed Zhu sooner or later! ”
This can be said to be a great rebellion! But it's more true than real gold!
The results of the First Battle of the Dongjiang River have already shown that the Manchu Eight Banners New Army was very unsuccessful! In front of Zhu Jishi's Ming army, these Eight Banners recruits are not vulnerable at all, uh, even if they can't do a single blow. How many people are there in Eight Banners? How many Han Chinese are there? This Zhu Jishi seems to be a foregone conclusion in Guangdong, and there are at least 20 million Han people in Guangdong Province alone, right? At least 10 times more than Eight Flags! Fight according to a one-to-one exchange ratio. The Han people died one hundred thousand, and the banner people were extinct!
"Lord Wang. Now those uncles in Beijing are still doing the Eight Banners powerhouse, the invincible Spring and Autumn Dream of the Heavenly Soldiers, where do you know that the Han people already have a strong army no less than the English soldiers! If those of us who know the truth of the traitor throw our lives in Guangdong, who can go back to Beijing to ring the alarm bell for the emperor? Who can still train the new army to compete with Zhu Ming's traitors? ”
Seng Lingqin was silent, after fighting the Battle of the Dongjiang River, he knew that there was a problem with the way the imperial court organized and trained the New Army of the Eight Banners. It's not that the Eight Banners New Army shouldn't be organized, but it's too small! The intensity of training the new army and the intensity of foreign affairs are small, and the progress is slow, so if this continues, the world will have to be taken away by Zhu Jishi sooner or later!
"Tens of thousands of Eight Banners New Army alone is definitely not enough, and we have too few bannermen...... The new army must be mixed with the flag and the Han, and it cannot all use the flag man, otherwise it will not be able to resist consumption. In addition, foreign affairs will also be let go, and we can no longer shrink back as before, and in the future, we will compete with the south to see whose new army is more and whose foreign affairs are stronger! It's nothing compared to the destruction of the country and the annihilation of the nation! ”
Fu Fang's tears fell as he spoke, this crisis of destroying the country and the clan is just around the corner! If the banner people don't cheer up again, not only will the Qing Dynasty die, but even the one or two million banner people will be wiped out......
Monk Greenqin's tense face relaxed, changed his contemplative look, and said to himself: "To run a new army, you have to have money to run a large foreign affairs!" The silver of the imperial court has long since dried up and fallen from the sea...... If Guangdong loses it again, it will have to collect at least 7 million less every year, and it will ...... when the time comes."
"Gotta cut the green camp!"
Monk Lingqin was stunned, and Fu Fang broke his fingers and counted it for him, "...... There are more than 600,000 green battalion soldiers in the whole world, and military salaries, weapons, rewards, and grain and grass that people eat and chew on horses will cost the court 20 million taels a year. But how did this group of green battalion soldiers repay the kindness of the imperial court? The Han officials of the green battalion are hundreds of rebels, and the soldiers of the green battalion are thousands of escapees, and the situation in Guangdong is bad for these green battalion soldiers! If such soldiers are not cut, why are they still raised? ”
This is to put all the responsibility for the loss of Guangdong on the green camp! Monk Greenqin thought for a while, sighed and said: "There are also good men in the green camp, and they have all been laid off, but I am afraid that these people will go to Zhu ......."
"The good men of the green camp can carry the flag!" Fu Fang gritted his teeth, and then said, "We have too few banner people, although we are skilled in martial arts, but now is the era of relying on foreign guns and foreign cannons to fight the world!" No matter how high the martial arts are, they can't stop foreign guns! Lord Wang, this Han military banner must be expanded, and all the men in the green camp who are really loyal to the court and protect the emperor are included! ”
Monk Greenqin already understood Fu Fang's meaning a little, and he had to push the defeated Zeren in Guangdong to the Green Battalion, and take the opportunity to propose the abolition of the Green Battalion, and at the same time of withdrawing the Green Battalion, it was also necessary to expand the Han Army Banner, and carry the soldiers who could fight in the Green Battalion and were truly loyal to the Qing Dynasty into the Han Army Banner, as the main force of the Eight Banners New Army in the future -- the number of Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners is limited, according to the figures known to Monk Greenqin, it is less than 1.6 million people, and it is already the limit to be able to pull out 300,000 Eight Banners New Army. If the green battalion is to be cut, the Han army flag must be expanded, and at least 300,000 Han people Ding Zhuang must be incorporated into the Han army flag, so that 600,000 new troops of the Eight Banners can be pulled out!
"The general of the defeated army, in addition to asking for a guilty excerpt, can he have the face to give the emperor other excerpts?" Monk Greenqin said in a low tone.
Fu Fang snorted and smiled, and said in a low voice: "Lord Wang, looking at the Eight Banners, besides you, who else can the emperor use?" Chengdu General Qi Shan? Ili General Yishan? Or did the foreman military aircraft Mu Zhang'a personally come out to lead the troops? Even if the emperor is open-minded, they don't dare to come! ”
That's a good statement! Although the monk Lingqin lost the battle in Guangdong, but this crime, the top of the sky is to be dismissed and retained, and everyone in the court and above pleads for the monk king, because at the moment, no one dares to come out with this soldier.
Monk Greenqin sighed, turned his head to look at Ulantai and Xianglin, both of whom were as frightened as death! The battle just now was so miserable that it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a mountain of defeat.
"Gotta give up Guangzhou City!" Monk Greenqin said categorically, "Ulantai, Xianglin, you go first, go and take away all the bannermen, old, weak, women and children in Guangzhou City, and hand over Guangzhou to Ye Mingchen's Fubiao." Let the thirteen banks give out silver, at least 1 million ...... each That's it for now. ”
"Lord Wang, abandon Guangzhou...... Where are you going? Xianglin asked in a trembling voice.
"Shaozhou, let's go to Shaozhou." Monk Lingqin was silent, "No matter what, we can't let the chaos enter Hunan...... It takes time for the imperial court to abolish the green camp and expand the Eight Banners, and it will take time for this foreign affairs to be done! Also, let's go back and make a break with the competition system and put forward the idea of cutting the green battalion and expanding the Han military flag. ”
"Lord Wang, do you really want to mention it? We're all ...... O sinner! Ulantai was stunned for a moment, and timidly glanced at the Mongolian prince Monk Greenqin.
"What kind of criminal minister is not guilty of crime," Monk Lingqin waved his hand, "This troubled world has just begun!" The Qing Dynasty still has to rely on us to protect it, even if the emperor is really guilty, he has to protect it, otherwise who will fight Zhu Back? Hanchen clear stream? Will it work?
