Seeing the young master issuing military orders one after another, Yang Zhi was quite shocked.
Shandong Governor Cathay also asked the same question, and Jia Liu gave the same answer. He meant it.
There is no way, even though Linqing can earn hundreds of dollars from just farting, it is still nothing compared to the treasures in the underground palace of the Holy Ancestor.
If calculated in terms of GDP, the Linqing side can have a few billion at most, and the Jinling side may have hundreds of billions.
Jia Liu still knows how to make trade-offs.
As he continued to pursue the policy of appeasement in Linqing, his position as director of the Dongling Administrative Committee was taken over by someone else.
Using troops means using money, and the same goes for rebellion.
If you don't make a lot of money, how can you fight against the corrupt Eight Banners Group headed by Qianlong?
Without money, how can we build a new army, buy foreign guns and cannons, bring over the red-haired devils, and open the eyes of Qianlong?
The survival of the Qing Dynasty depends on this battle.
The dog-headed strategist Fan Wei meant that if Lord Gui really had great ambitions, he could secretly lure Wang Lun to lead the victorious army to rush out of Linqing, and then drive them all the way north. Then in the name of pursuit, he would attack Beijing with the smallest force.
The cost was to realize the replacement of the core of the Qing regime as quickly as possible.
Yang Zhi agreed with this proposal because he was worried about burning the Old Summer Palace.
Jia Liu was also moved, but after thinking about it, this plan could indeed win the Alaska with ten dollars. However, this plan had the most fatal weakness.
That is because he, Master Jia Jia, does not have a direct force in his hand right now, and he can fight wherever he wants.
Without the support of a gun, no matter how good the plan is, it will end up being a wedding dress for others. If it fails, it will expose yourself in advance, and the gain outweighs the loss.
Therefore, it is better to stay down-to-earth and follow the steps.
The siege deployment was quickly communicated to all ministries.
Zhili General Wan Chaoxing and deputy general Marqing'a led 1,500 troops to attack the east gate of Linqing Old City; the Eight Banners Army, led by Counselor Yingjitu, coordinated the attack on the east gate.
Wang Zhen, the deputy general of Hedao, led 1,600 troops to attack the north gate of Linqing Old City.
The Shandong soldiers, led by generals Ye Qing, Yang Zhaoli and others, attacked the south gate of Linqing Old City.
Simon was handed over to Sauron's soldiers.
The Mongolian cavalry was mobile, and Chang Wei's army was the general reserve.
According to the testimony of the surrendered brothers Yan Jiren, Liu Huan and Yan Fengyuan, there were still thousands of victorious troops in the old city of Linqing, led by Generalissimo Wang Jinglong. Except for a few hundred Qingshui believers, the rest were mostly rabble-rousers.
They are such a gangster that even the Prime Minister doesn't know how to let them live. They are just living in confusion.
The weapons and equipment are mainly short swords and long guns, with up to twenty or thirty muskets, but they are also equipped with four red barbarian cannons that are over a hundred years old.
It was left in Linqing by Prince Yu during his southern expedition. It is said that it was torn down from the top of Ningyuan City.
It's hard to say whether it can be launched.
The ever-victorious army's defense strategy is to focus on the new city and focus on the old, which means to concentrate most of the main force and elites in the new city and not worry about the defense of the old city.
When the Ever-Victorious Army attacked Linqing, the general judge Qin Zhenjun also knew that the old city could not be defended, so he withdrew the ferries at all entrances, moved hundreds of thousands of Linqing customs duties and taels to the new city to supply military needs, and recruited more than 800 civilian warriors.
People guard.
Because the Evervictorious Army lacked siege equipment, it was unable to break into the New City immediately after capturing the old city. Later, several large armies of the Qing Army attacked Linqing. The Evervictorious Army, under the command of Fan Wei, defeated the enemy in one fell swoop. Seeing this, the people in the New City
The people were so brave that they secretly opened the city, allowing the victorious army to occupy the new city.
Linqing officials such as Tongjian Qin Zhenjun were all killed, and hundreds of thousands of taels of tax money in the city fell into the hands of the victorious army.
Fan Wei suggested that after taking the old city, concentrate his elite troops to storm the south gate of the new city, because the defense there was relatively weak. As long as the officers and soldiers were brave enough, they could even climb up the city with ladders and capture it.
This courage is the biggest problem faced by the Qing army since the Shandong Rebellion.
If it weren't for lack of courage, the important canal town would not have been occupied by gangsters.
Before the attack, Jia Liu called a meeting.
At the meeting, the brave Prince Rawang asked where was the main attack and where was the assist?"
This question made Jia Liu a little friendly, and then he said: "Your Majesty, this siege will not be the main attack, it will be the main attack!"
It is also said that the one who enters the city first will be the first to succeed.
After the military order was issued, all ministries immediately began to prepare for the siege. Thanks to the Prime Minister's sympathy for the officers and soldiers, the morale of the Qing troops participating in the siege was very high.
Even the Shandong soldiers, who had been defeated in many battles with the Commander-in-Chief, said that no matter what, they would try to save the Prime Minister's face by firing more shots at him.
Before attacking the city, Jia Liu still ordered artillery bombardment in the same old way, and asked that all artillery be concentrated together.
The mountain-splitting cannon is one artillery group, and the small Fran machine is one artillery group, shooting in turn.
It's called "barreling".
But before the bombardment even started, the artillery materials were lost, and the bill for Yaozi was already in the hands of Yijiang A, the supervisor of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Mr. Yi, who was praying for the siege officers and soldiers with Master Wang, had no intention of looking at the accounts and continued to eat grapes without spitting out the grape skins.
"put!"
As the pennant waved down, hundreds of mountain-splitting cannons and small Fran cannons were gathered together, firing fiercely at the old city of Linqing under the scorching sun.
The sharp sound of the cannon was very harsh.
There was a loud "boom", and a cannonball hit the top of the city. It exploded the bricks of the city into pieces, and brick fragments flew everywhere. A soldier of the Victory Army squatting behind the battlements with his ears covered was hit on the head by the falling bricks.
He was bleeding, and he stood up in a panic to bandage himself, but a flying shell directly cut off his head.
The headless corpse spewing blood scared the companions nearby to vomit and scream, and they became a mess.
More and more shells fell on the city, and more than one unlucky man was killed. As the bombardment continued, the city soon became a mess.
The city gate building was also hit in many places, and several people were injured by the falling buildings.
The screams rang out, and many unlucky Victory soldiers were directly hit by cannons. Their bodies were blown into countless pieces, and their hands and feet were flying all over the sky. It was horrifying.
Those who were not killed on the spot just wished they could die early, rolling on the ground in pain and screaming miserably.
"My eyes, my eyes!"
A small leader covered his eyes that were hit by brick fragments. Blood continued to flow out from between his fingers, blurring his vision. His broken eyeballs were brought out by his fingers and stuck to the palm of his hand. Gradually, nothing could be seen.
Can't tell the difference.
Looking at the ever-victorious army in chaos on the city and listening to their screams, the Qing soldiers below the city cheered with excitement. Even Asiha, who was riding on a horse by the canal, suddenly got excited and shouted loudly.
He exclaimed, moved the few beards on his chin and said happily: "This artillery fire is good, it brings out the majesty and morale of our soldiers of the Qing Dynasty!"
"Cannon shooting is indeed good, and it should be rewarded."
Chaoyong Prince Lawang could not help but nod, but there was a faint smell of odor in his nose.
If you smell it carefully, you can find that the smell of urine comes from the Imperial Censor.
During the previous shelling, Ah Da's heart trembled for a moment, and then it began to drip involuntarily.
However, the imperial censor himself had no idea about this.
