It looks good now, but it's really hard to say how it will perform on the battlefield.
Is it a bloody rebirth to restore the glory of the Eight Banners?
Or will they collapse in one battle and lose face to the Eight Banners?
No one can say for sure about this!
Hong Chengchou on the side also spoke.
"That's enough, that's enough!"
"The main purpose of the Eight Banners on the battlefield is to supervise the battle. For direct and fierce battles, it still depends on the green battalion soldiers."
Hong Chengchou also saw the true nature of the Eight Banners soldiers.
But he thinks this is enough!
Anyway, the Eight Banners also supervise the battle when they arrive on the battlefield, so they just look powerful.
As for the actual combat power, that’s not important!
If our side wins, the Eight Banners heavenly soldiers will definitely be invincible.
The green camp soldiers dare not compete with the master of the Eight Banners for credit!
If our own side were defeated and the Green Battalion collapsed, Hong Chengchou would only flee with the Eight Banners soldiers to minimize casualties, and would not expect the Eight Banners soldiers to save the war.
At this time, Hong Chengchou was wearing an official robe, with a crane embroidered on the patch on his chest.
The red crown on top of the head is also extremely eye-catching.
It's like it's dyed red with blood!
Today, Hong Chengchou was appointed by the Qing government as governor of the five provinces of Guangdong, Guangxi, Jiangxi, Hunan, and Fujian, and was fully responsible for the war in the South.
It can be described as high-spirited!
Once he gained power, Hong Chengchou, who had looked decrepit and decrepit, regained some of his vitality.
I have to admit that for men, power is the best tonic!
But he only regained some of his vitality. His figure was still skinny, there was no flesh on his cheeks, and his eyes were dull and dull.
The situation is much better than before, but not much better.
"Hong Qing family, the Ai family has high expectations for you during this expedition!"
"The Qing family must defeat the enemy in one fell swoop and promote the prestige of the Qing Dynasty!"
Bumubutai said to Hong Chengchou with a gentle smile on his face.
Hong Chengchou nodded and said.
"Don't worry, the Queen Mother, I will definitely live up to your high expectations!"
However, although Hong Chengchou said this, his heart was full of worries.
That day, after he left the palace, he realized that he had violated a taboo.
In the following days, they tried their best to make up for it, but even though Bumubutai and others said they were fine on the surface, they didn't care.
But Hong Chengchou was not sure whether they had any concerns or whether they would settle the score with him.
All he can do now is work hard to help the Qing Dynasty quell the chaos in Guangdong and try to atone for his sins.
As for other ideas?
For example, support the troops to respect themselves, or simply rebel against the Qing Dynasty and join the Ming Dynasty, and then go back and continue to serve their old club, the Ming Dynasty.
Hong Chengchou never thought about it!
What's going on?!
Of course, the reason why I was willing was not because of how loyal Lao Hong was to the Manchus.
He could betray the Ming Dynasty before, but now he can betray the Qing Dynasty.
He has already broken through his moral bottom line once. Is it a big problem if he breaks through again?
of course not!
The reason why Hong Chengchou had no idea of betraying the Qing Dynasty was because his entire Hong family had settled in the capital!
If he, Lao Hong, dared to betray the Qing Dynasty, his whole family would probably be dragged to the execution ground.
Now that he is Hong Chengchou's age, he has enjoyed all the glory, wealth, fame and fortune, and there are not many things that he cares about anymore.
The only thing he cares about now is his family and descendants. No matter what he does now, the most fundamental purpose is not for himself.
It can even be said that now Hong Chengchou no longer cares about his own life!
The reason why he took over the task of the Qing Dynasty's southern expedition was mostly for the sake of his own descendants.
Bu Mu Butai nodded with satisfaction, and Obai and others also said goodbye to Hong Chengchou, wishing Hong Chengchou victory and annihilating the Ming rebels in Guangdong.
After the military exercise outside the city was completed, the Qing troops who were about to go south shouted loudly and their morale was boiling.
"Long live the Qing Dynasty!"
"Eight Banners is invincible!"
"Destroy Ming Ni!"
"Peace in the world!"
"..."
Hong Chengchou took the tiger talisman from Bumbutai and strode down the city wall.
Under the city wall, a large sedan chair with eight carriages has been parked.
As well as various ceremonial guards from Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces!
At this moment, a group of cavalry rushed towards the end of the line of sight.
Behind the leading knight is a small flag representing his identity - a fast horse responsible for delivering urgent news eight hundred miles away.
Looking at the fast horses galloping in the distance, Bumbutai frowned unconsciously.
What happened again?
Is it good news?
Or is it bad news?
She was really hit by the series of bad news before.
Seeing the fast horse that hastened for eight hundred miles, I couldn't help but frown.
"Obai, go and ask what's going on and where did the urgent news from Eight Hundred Miles come from."
Although Bumu Butai was worried, the Queen Mother still maintained her airs and looked very graceful and noble.
Even though she is old, at first glance, she is a very elegant old lady.
"twitter!"
Oboi put on his horse-hoove sleeves, responded with a chirp, turned around and walked down the city wall.
Obai's health was much better than that of Hong Chengchou. The two of them started to go down to the city one after another, but they arrived at the city gate almost at the same time.
Hong Chengchou was not in a hurry to leave, but stood with Obai, wanting to find out what happened.
Why did the 800-mile express come again!
Bumubutai was not the only one who had a stress reaction to the eight hundred miles.
Even Hong Chengchou has some psychological shadow!
Because, since last year, the capital has received no good news from the 800-mile express.
First, two thousand Manchurian Eight Banners were wiped out by Li Dingguo in Mengla!
Then King Pingnan's Xinhui was defeated, all the troops under King Pingnan's vassal were wiped out, and Guangdong changed hands.
Then came the even more exciting Battle of Jiangnan, where the seven thousand Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners in Jiangning were completely annihilated.
Three messages worth eight hundred miles to be delivered urgently, each one worse than the last.
There was no room for disloyalty in the Qing court.
The 800-mile postage horse rushed to the city gate. The knight on the horse was dusty and his uniform was covered with dust.
With a pop, the knight knelt down in front of Obai and Hong Chengchou, and handed over an urgent report of eight hundred miles away with both hands.
Obai received the urgent report, but he did not tear it open and check it directly. Instead, he strode towards the city head and presented the urgent report to Bumbutai.
Hong Chengchou turned back and walked towards the city head, wanting to see what kind of news was sent urgently from Eight Hundred Miles.
However, his legs and feet are much slower than Obai.
Bumubutai put down the beads he was rubbing, took the emergency report, tore open the wax seal, and started reading.
Then, just for a moment, Bumbutai felt the blood rushing straight to his forehead...
There was only darkness in front of me, and I almost couldn't stand still, so I sat down on the ground.
Fortunately, Ao Bai and Lagu Sumala were supporting her on the left and right.
Oboi was shocked, how bad the news was!
Can you fuck the Empress Dowager almost to the point of fainting?
He stretched his neck and looked at the emergency report in Bumbutai's hand.
The letters in the urgent report were a bit small, and in a blur, Oboi could only see the large red letters "King Jingnan rebelled".
In an instant, Obai felt his vision turn black and almost fainted.
His legs and feet became unstable and he fell to the ground with a thud.
Oboi's fall caused Bumbutai to lose a support, and his body tilted and fell on Obai...
