Lord Boling'a's idea of standing firm and waiting for reinforcements to contain and attract the main force of the Fan army is a bit like "flowering in the center".
The prerequisite is that there must be reinforcements.
Or it would be the Seventy-Fourth Army.
Wen Zhongtang is dead, Haidutong is dead, Admiral Dong, Admiral Ma, and Admiral Niu are all the main generals of the Qing army on the southern front.
Tens of thousands of officers and soldiers are running for their lives like lost dogs in the mountains of Jinchuan. Who can they point to to save them?
In order to survive, there are endless incidents of manslaughter of each other, and it is not just Mr. Boqing's side who makes an own mistake.
Optimistic estimates suggest that no less than 200 or 300 Manchu and Han generals of rank four or above were killed in the battle.
Even if all the Qing troops on the southern front were able to escape in full force, it would be impossible for the Qing troops who escaped to rescue Akoli Village spontaneously when the headquarters was taken over.
Therefore, don’t count on the southern route.
On the northern line, there are Agui, Fukang'an, Laoshiziha Guoxing, Fengsheng'e, etc., but the situation is not optimistic.
After this defeat, there was no half a year to recover, replenish troops, and allocate money and food. It was impossible for the Qing government to organize a second offensive.
Therefore, even if the adults who have withdrawn from the northern front intend to rescue Akoli Village, they are unable to do anything.
At the moment, the Jinchuan Fan Army itself has limited strength and its composition is too complicated. If those old gangsters in Guangxi are the ones, they may really be able to take advantage of the situation and launch a massive uprising against the Qing Dynasty.
If you want to talk about killing the demons, you have to look at the old men from Guangdong and Guangxi, who are very popular.
Basically, it is certain that whether it was the southern or northern route, the adults who escaped thought most about how to shirk their responsibilities and save their own status. They could not think about saving others.
Defending, of course, is not wrong. It is a sign of loyalty to the Qing Dynasty, but it is a dead end.
Mr. Bo Qing'e must explain this fact to the participating officers and point out that only by breaking out of the encirclement and bringing out the living forces can we retain our strength and accumulate strength for the next counter-insurgency.
The venue was very quiet.
"If we break through, all the food and supplies here will be burned and must not be left to the bandits!"
Guilin, a doctor in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, stood up to support Bo Qing'e. His attitude affected a group of people, and many military officers immediately changed their stance and supported the breakout.
Jia Liu put his hands behind his hands and casually ordered Zu Yingyuan beside him: "When we break through, we must ensure the safety of Mr. Gui."
"Why?"
Zu Yingyuan was puzzled. He looked down on the guards in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and wished they would all die in Jinchuan.
"Master Ah said that Master Gui is the nephew of Concubine Ling, that is, the cousin of the fifteenth elder brother."
"oh."
Zu Yingyuan actually didn't care. He was a relative of the emperor, so he needed special care. Besides, even if Guilin was a relative of the emperor, he was still a servant of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Jia Liu thought to himself, "Oh shit," I want to tell you that this guy is the cousin of the future emperor, and you might be able to do it twice.
He stared at Guilin who was standing at the venue and took a good look, wondering if he could get in touch with Jiaqing through this guy, and if possible in the future, ask the old man to step down in advance.
"If you break out, you must make proper arrangements, otherwise it will be easy for thieves to take advantage of it."
Master Boling'a saw the change of wind and thought that if he stood here, he might become a lone army hanging behind the enemy's rear. If there were no reinforcements and they waited for the food to be exhausted, they would be dead. This way, it would be better to listen to Bo Qing'e's breakout, which could really kill the two thousand people here.
Taking it out is no small feat.
Opinions were quickly unified.
Jia Liu was very satisfied, but also a little regretful because he had no chance to encourage these people to buy a road so that he could make more money.
If everyone here, adults and minors, would make an IOU, Mr. Jia would really be making the most of the national crisis.
After the meeting, Alan Bao found Jia Liu and patted the boy's shoulder with admiration: "Bo Dutong seems to value you very much. I hope you can take a step forward after you go out."
Gu Li
"As long as you can serve the imperial court, it doesn't matter what kind of humble job you take."
Alan Bao, a blue-ling bodyguard, was actually a sixth-rank official like Jia Liu's front guard, but he was a full flag, an imperial bodyguard, and he took Jia Liu's hand, so Jia Liu had to be more modest.
There are people in the palace, so things can be done easily.
Although Boling'a is also the deputy commander-in-chief, he is the deputy commander-in-chief of Mongolia, and Bo Qing'e is the deputy commander-in-chief of Manchuria. He also holds the title of cabinet bachelor and leading minister. How to break out and evacuate naturally depends on Bo Qing'e's opinions.
allow.
Jia Liu did not interfere with the evacuation plan, but watched Erbo, Li and several third- and fourth-grade adults discussing it in detail.
Soon, the retreat plan was announced, and everyone started to act separately according to the arrangements of the two Bo adults.
The task that Jia Liu received was to burn all the grain, ordnance, and artillery in the stronghold to prevent them from aiding the enemy.
This made him feel very sorry, because if these things were to be sold, they would cost at least ten or two hundred thousand taels.
At that moment, he was about to lead his men to start the destruction, but Master Bo Qing'e called him aside and whispered: "Can you tell them over there that you will give them everything in the village, in exchange for one hundred thousand taels?"
""
Jia Liu nodded and said that he would go to negotiate the matter immediately, and then called Zhou Baibai and said: "Go and tell the man named Lu that I left the things in the stronghold for him. When you turn around, you can cash them out at 100,000 taels and give them to me."
After a pause, there was a threat: "If he doesn't agree, I will set it on fire."
With the sound of artillery fire from the Shaanxi-Gansu camp, nearly two thousand Qing troops in Akoli Village were divided into three teams and began to break out in the direction of Menuo.
The breakout was extremely brutal, with the Fan army firing constant shots and shouts of killing one after another.
I don’t know how long it took, but the Qing army finally stood out, but also lost more than a hundred people.
The main loss was the forward battalion serving as defenders, so Jia Liu didn't feel bad.
Along the way, in addition to protecting Bo Qing, Guilin and Alan were also the ones he protected.
However, the protrusion of Akoli Village is not the end, but the beginning. Next, the Qing army will have to rush through Menuo, cross the Guanyin Bridge, and cross the death zone that is more than 50 miles long before they can reach the safe zone.
The dangers along the way can be imagined.
The Fan army kept chasing after them, and there was another battle when they passed by Meinuo Village. After hundreds of corpses were left behind, the Qing army barely escaped.
Thousands of miles away in Beijing, several fast horses traveling 800 miles went straight to the Forbidden City.
A quick message from the front of the Jinchuan Army was passed quickly to the Yangxin Hall from one guard after another. Finally, a young eunuch burst into the hall holding a secret book.
Qianlong, who was studying the calligraphy and paintings of famous Song Dynasty artists with his guard Heshen, was in high spirits. He had just taken out his seal to stamp it and was about to recite a poem when he was interrupted by the little eunuch who broke in without permission.
Qianlong couldn't help but get angry: "What's the matter? There are no rules?"
"Your Majesty, urgent report from Jinchuan, the army has been defeated!"
The little eunuch did not dare to raise his head and held up the secret box containing the rapid music.
Qianlong's expression changed suddenly: "Heshen!"
"The slave is here!"
He Shen didn't wait for the emperor to say more, and quickly stepped forward, took the box of quick notes from the young eunuch, and quickly presented it to the emperor.
Qianlong opened it and took a look. He threw the music on the table with a bang, and was furious: "Wen Fu mistook me, Wen Fu mistook me!"
Quickly being thrown onto the table, he knocked the box over and at the same time, a braid fell down.
