Chapter 338 Thunder
But after thinking for a long time, Liu Chang didn't expect what he had missed. He asked again: "Captain Zhou, do you think my plan is feasible?"
"The inspection is absolutely fine!" Zhou Xiuying replied: "The troops on Jiande are less, but adding two battalions is definitely enough!"
"Yes!" Liu Chang laughed and said, "Bao Bao is defeated. No matter how hard he works, he will still be defeated. If we hadn't been in Zhejiang, he might have been demoted to Xinjiang because of the defeat of Gaotang."
"Yes!" Zhou Xiuying replied: "Even if the old team of the monk King is here, we can deal with him well!"
Liu Chang nodded: "It's just that our horse team's history is too new and we have to rely on infantry. Commander Zhou, you start your journey, it's enough for me to have a guard platoon here! In fact, there are too many guard platoons, and I think a guard squad is enough!"
But Shi Tinglan and Yang Changmei came in there, but they disagreed with Liu Chang's opinion: "Achang, this time I met my brother, I can't have such an idea. My brother is good, but you have too few people. Not only are my brother looking down on me, it is inevitable that some people around him will have some strange ideas."
Liu Chang laughed: "That's what happened after the capture of Quzhou. I have to urge Zhu Dun to use three points of strength. I must take down Xi'an County before King Ji arrives."
This Xi'an County was later Qu County, the capital of Quzhou Prefecture. Taking over this place was equivalent to taking over the entire Quzhou.
...
"This is a blood letter issued by Hu Fansi and Zhang Shenrong!" He Guiqing took a look and handed the blood letter to Wang Youling: "I heard that there are only four or five thousand red thieves under Jiande City. Hu Fansi and Zhang Shenrong can't resist it and urge me to send the soldiers in the camp out to rescue them... Haha, the soldiers in the camp..."
He smiled bitterly. He had been in Zhejiang for many years and knew that the soldiers in the camp could fight except for defending the city. If the founding fathers of the Qing Dynasty saw that their descendants had such virtues, they would have to get up alive from the coffin and beat them to death.
Wang Youling smiled: "It seems that this Liu Juehuo is indeed well-known. He has only four or five thousand red thieves forced Hu Fansi and Zhang Yuliang to such a situation, so it is right for us to be at peace with them. Hu Xingren went to save Deng Shaoliang and Li Yuandu, what was the result? He still trapped half of his body."
He Guiqing cursed and said, "Xuexuan, I'm not looking for you to gloat, but how to deal with it. The monk's troops have arrived in Hangzhou Prefecture. What should I do next?"
"What should I do?" Wang Youling said: "What else can I do? It's better to be appointed as the governor of Nanhe."
The Governor of Nanhe, also known as the He Governor, was a famous labourer in the Qing Dynasty and a famous labourer. Before the Qing Dynasty to the Xianfeng period, the Yellow River was still the last time. Therefore, the canal and Lianghuai were flooded to an exaggerated level, and there was a possibility of dam collapse at any time, and it was even difficult to return.
So the Governor of Nanhe is such a mission to be a monk who hits a bell for a day. This Governor can receive 6 million to 10 million taels of silver in river management every year. If you are lucky, even if you don’t invest a penny to manage the river, you will be in good weather and rain in your post. No accidents or bad luck will happen. That is, you will spend all the funds for river management and then subsidize the money yourself. The river dam should collapse and cross the river.
To put it bluntly, this river has reached a point where it is difficult to return, and it is not possible to return without human power. Therefore, after the successive governors of Nanhe received these six million to ten million silver, they only took out at most one million silver to manage the river. The remaining silver was that the River Governor Office was full of money, drunkenness, eating and drinking, and finally eating a famous Huaiyang dish.
When Wang Youling said this, He Guiqing also sighed slowly: "Yes, the Governor of Nanhe is so famous that he has a lot of money. He has spent more than a thousand dollars a year. Any gap in his fingers is enough for ordinary people to eat and wear for the rest of their lives. I think I, He, have a lot of knowledge, but I didn't expect that God would make people, and such a juvenile family came out... Listen to you, listen to you, I have never seen the charm of this boat girl from West Lake since I came to Zhejiang. We will gather together tonight!"
"Yes, play what you should play, eat what you should eat, and have a few days to live in heaven. As for Hu Xingren, Zhang Yuliang!" Wang Youling said desperately: "It's what Prince Senggelinqin wants to think about, why should we care about it!"
"Well said, well said!" He Guiqing laughed: "Xuexuan, you are such a wonderful person. Anyway, there is not much time left, so all this is left to the Monk King!"
Hu Xingren and Zhang Yuliang turned to the hands of the monk king. At that time, the monk king had been working hard for days and nights, and was still very smart and keen: "The situation in Zhejiang has been so corrupt? Hu Xingren and Zhang Yuliang actually wanted to invite the entire camp out!"
"Please come out if you want it!" Sheng Bao didn't care: "After all, this is the world of our Manchus. No matter how many bastards we Manchus are, they will still be able to eat hard-core crops!"
"Okay!" The monk king immediately approached Shengbao's army: "Just come out and you will be in charge!"
"That's all right!" Sheng Bao smiled bitterly: "Last year I was in Liufang to lead Tianjin Yong, but those 1,600 young and old men in Tianjin were really good at it. As soon as they got on the battlefield, they rushed back and left me alone in front of the formation, and almost let the Guangdong bandits make dumplings!"
Since that time, no one dared to lead Tianjin Yong, and the old and young men in Hangzhou have similar abilities. Shengbao doesn't want to repeat the style of riding alone in the face of thousands of Northern Expedition troops.
The monk said immediately, "Then it, you lead the team in front, I lead the horse team behind, if the red thief is weak, you will defeat him with brute force, if the red thief is strong, you pretend to be defeated and return, if the horse team is suddenly out, I will be able to defeat the thief!"
"The Monk King is indeed a clever plan!" Sheng Bao immediately said, "What a clever plan. I believe that this time we go to Yanzhou Prefecture, we will definitely be able to reverse the situation in the southeast in one battle."
But the monk was not so optimistic. He shook his head and said, "You should not be careless in this battle. If you lose, you will inevitably be corrupt in the southeast. The state affairs can only be entrusted to Zeng Disheng's villain."
"The country is in trouble!" He sighed, but he continued, "This is the land of all people. Why do I, a Mongolian, work so hard? But the grace of the late emperor is so strong. I must do my best to repay the grace of the late emperor with my death!"
Shengbao nodded: "It's a pity that there is no other monk king in the country! I am a Manchu, and I should do my best to repay the country's kindness with the monk king!"
"Three high-fives are a swearing!" The monk shouted immediately, "Whoever is afraid of death will not die well!"
"Three high-fives are a swear!"
...
"Damn it! Damn it!" Hu Xingren looked at the city wall as one Qing soldiers were carried down. He immediately asked Zhang Yuliang: "Zhang Shenrong, are the red thieves so brave?"
He looked at the city walls with real strength. His Ren-Fifth Battalion was indeed working hard, but no matter how hard he worked, he could not save the situation. It was obviously a Red thief attacking and the Qing soldiers defended, but the number of Qing soldiers killed and injured several times higher than that of the Red thief. Sometimes, a Red thief finally fell down, but the Qing soldiers fell down in ten thrones.
The Red thief's gunshot technique is accurate to the extreme. The gunner of a general cannon has suffered seven casualties in succession. Now no one dares to go up and manipulate this general cannon. The Red thief even came to the city several times, and Hu Xingren personally led the team to barely suppress the Red thief.
He couldn't help but be glad that he insisted on retreating to Jiande, rather than determined to lead the brigade south. If he fought bravely with such a thief, he would probably not even know how to die now.
Zhang Yuliang's forehead was covered with sweat. He said: "This is indeed the Nanxi group of the Red Thief, but it is more brave than usual. It's like fighting crazy. Even the Dragon Spear Brigade does not have the energy!"
When Hu Xingren heard this, his scalp became even more numb. He said, "If He Zhongcheng refused to save him when he saw that he was dead and did not send all the soldiers to rescue us, then we would be dead!"
As he said, someone had already reported good news over there: "Fanshi, join the army, good news! Good news! Lord Sheng Baosheng's team and horse team have arrived in Hangzhou Prefecture and can go south immediately!"
After saying this, Hu Xingren became soft and Zhang Yuliang burst into tears over there: "Good come, good come!"
The morale of the Jiande defenders was suddenly excited.
At this moment, Huo Qiu was also vibrating by this unexpected news: "Is Shengbao here?"
"It's true that his team and horse team have arrived in Hangzhou Prefecture. As fast as possible, they can arrive in Tonglu County in one or two days!"
"Good guy!" Huo Qiu immediately said the truth: "It's not easy to set up a pot of rice and two tables of guests. How did Zhen Changyu deploy it?"
Bao Meiying had already said over there: "Battlefield Commander Zhen deployed the main force of the battalion in Tonglu County, one strengthened the company north of Jiande, and the other strengthened the line in Fenshui County!"
"Okay! Make progress!" Huo Qiu also remembered: "The main force of the camp can block Qing Yao from Fuyang to Jiande on the avenue, but unfortunately the troops are a little weak!"
Zhen Changyu led the Second Battalion of Nanxi, with four infantry companies and one artillery company in the battalion. Now Jiande County has deployed a reinforcement company, and Fenshui County has deployed another additional platoon company. The main force of the battalion actually has less than three infantry companies, plus two-thirds of the artillery company. If you want to prevent and block thousands of Qing troops, the troops are indeed weak.
Bao Meiying immediately said: "I can add two cavalry companies to Battalion Commander Zhen!"
"Yes!" Huo Qiu disagreed: "You can't spread the cavalry like this. You must rely on the cavalry when chasing. We have to strengthen our offensive and strive to take down Jiande County in the shortest time!"
In the past battles, Huo Qiu found that after the infantry opened the offensive and then threw the cavalry into the pursuit, it would give the other party a devastating blow. Therefore, he disagreed with the idea of sending cavalry to strengthen Zhen Changyu. He said to Lin Mengchu over there: "Bail Commander Lin, do your teaching regiment dare to attack Jiande County with us?"
