Han’s Son is Not a Slave

Xian Guoan made great strides, and continued to advance to Liuzhou with triumphant songs. The Taiping army responded improperly, and the loss of division and loss of territory naturally led to the high morale of the Qing army and a strong will to fight. And those surrendered soldiers, who were recognized by Shao Jiu as not strong in fighting spirit and whose military morale was chaotic and low, were also stimulated by a series of victories of the Qing army. They also decided that the Taiping army was not as good as the Qing army. The mind of merit. If they want to make meritorious deeds, they will naturally submit their names to the Qing Dynasty, which is why the most casualties in the attack on Xiaobei Mountain are the surrendered troops, and the surrendered troops still work for the Qing army, because they see the Taiping army being defeated by the Qing army. Surrounding and attacking, not the Taiping army besieging the Qing army.

In the process, Xian Guoan also showed the means of being a good general. He was definitely not weaker than Zhou Shixiang in appeasing the army, especially the generals in the army.

Money, official positions, women, land, everything that can motivate people to work hard, Xian Guoan has generously promised them. But these days, ordinary soldiers are almost indistinguishable from cannon fodder in the eyes of generals. Xian Guoan spent a lot of money, and the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was about to be captured and killed. As long as the direct relatives are there, the soldiers below will not cause trouble. If people are killed, they can be pulled again. In this world, two-legged toads are hard to find, but two-legged people are very easy to find.

All the generals put their lives on the line, and Xian Guoan's direct lineage did not show weakness. The Taiping Army robbed them of their wealth and wiped out their savings for so many years, not to mention those who had soldiers under them, even if they were replaced by ordinary people, who wouldn't be gnashing their teeth in hatred.

Just like the template of the Taiping army's fortune, those surrendered troops under Xian Guoan retraced the path of surrendering to the Qing army to the Taiping army, and they behaved more evilly and more brutally, not weaker than Li Chengdong, Jin Shengheng, Wang Deren and others in the past.

The Qing army advanced aggressively, and the Taiping army lost ground. As for the Taiping Army, some officers and generals who were demoted also made wrong judgments about the situation. Many people have already begun to prepare for the way back, how to get rid of the excuse of "returning from thieves to rebellion" for themselves.

For a few days, Shao Jiugong was restless in Liuzhou City. He was very worried that he would not be able to keep Liuzhou, which would mean that the overall deployment of the commander in Guangxi and all his efforts would be in vain. If Guangxi was re-occupied by the Qing army, the Taiping army that invaded Hunan would be trapped in the Jedi. Under the triple attack of the Qing army in Lianghu, the Qing army in Guizhou, and the Qing army in Guangxi, the commander, no matter how talented it was, would definitely not be able to make a comeback. Therefore, Guangxi must not be lost, and Liuzhou must not be lost!

In order to prevent the most terrifying situation from occurring, Shao Jiugong did his best to mobilize as many troops and horses as he could in Liuzhou. In addition, he ordered the navy to bring a large amount of grain and grass to Liuzhou. He also ordered that it was just established in Nanning and Xunzhou, and it has not yet been carried out. How many trained wolf soldiers have been transferred to Liuzhou.

After Hao Xian Guoan broke into Liuzhou, it was blocked by Xiaobei Mountain for more than ten days, and the troops were destroyed. This made Shao Jiu's peace of mind, and also made those who had had different ideas re-examined and waited for the changes in the follow-up war. If Xian Guoan can break through Xiaobei Mountain and take Liuzhou City, the previous preparations will naturally be useful. If Xian Guoan fails, the previous preparations will have to be erased immediately. Compared with the knives of the Qing soldiers, the handles of the knives of the Taiping army are also very hard.

Every time the military information sent by Xiaobeishan, Shao Jiugong had to carefully examine the number of casualties of the Qing army.

The successive victories of Xiaobeishan have induced the strong fighting spirit of the Liuzhou defenders. Some generals asked Shao Jiugong to fight. The Qing army came from afar, and they had to stop for many days. They must be extremely tired. this war.

It is true that Shao Jiugong Laocheng is serious, but it does not mean that he has no courage. He was able to follow the Kong Guozhi brothers all the way from Jiangxi to Guangdong, not because of his sophistication, but because of his murderous spirit. Otherwise, he would not have lived until now.

The Guangxi governor, who was born in Jiangxi Province, superimposed the calculation of the casualties of the Qing army, combined with the information obtained from the prisoners, and made a judgment that he thought was fairly accurate, that is, when the attack failed for several days and the soldiers were lost, the Ministry of National Security would At this time, he was also extremely weak and in a dilemma. Most of the troops who surrendered from the Ming Dynasty did not want to be consumed as cannon fodder. If the Liuzhou defenders went out of the city to attack, even if they could not severely damage the Ministry of National Security, they should be forced to retreat to Qingyuan. In this way, the connection between Liuzhou and Guilin can be restored. Shao Jiugong has always wanted to ask Zhao Ziqiang, who is wandering outside, if you still have a governor like me in your eyes.

On the tower, Shao Jiugong gently moved the beard that had grown a lot in the past six months, looked towards the direction of Xiaobei Mountain, listened to the sound of cannons over there, and sneered a little. Xian Guoan really did not give up until the Yellow River, and did not shed tears when he saw the coffin. The fortifications of Xiaobei Mountain were built extremely solidly. If he wanted to take it down, he would need at least 10,000 casualties. Can he bear the cost of these casualties? He has been attacking for more than ten days, can't it be seen that he has no ability to take down Xiaobei Mountain? Step back 10,000 steps, what if your line Guoan won Xiaobei Mountain? Do you think you can still win Liuzhou?

Xian Guoan's sudden step in the past two weeks has made Shao Jiugong in a good mood.

"Lord Futai, Commander Niu made an urgent report. The Qing army drove a large number of people to attack Xiaobei Mountain. Our army's consumption of medicines was too high. Commander Niu asked Lord Futai to transfer another batch of medicines."

"Drive the people to attack?"

Shao Jiugong shook his head, disapproving of Guoan's stupid practice. Apart from making Guangxi Han people hate them even more, what else could the Qing army do? Could it be that Guoan thought that those unarmed people would be able to take Xiaobei Mountain for them. However, the problem that the Yaozi of the Xiaobeishan defenders was consumed too much by the cannon fodder must be faced. The Qing army drove the cannon fodder up, and the defenders could not fail to fire a single shot or a single shot. If this was the case, how could this position be defended.

"Go, send another batch of Yaozi from the treasury to Xiaobei Mountain. In addition, ask Wu Mazi to report the casualties."

Shao Jiugong said that Xiaobei Mountain is very important to Liuzhou, and the defenders can be defeated and die, but they cannot be defeated because of insufficient supplies.

Wang Youxi, the deputy general in charge of the military supplies, heard the words but stepped forward and said with a bitter expression: "Sir, there is no medicine in the treasury."

"No medicine?"

Shao Jiugong was taken aback.

When the Taiping army captured Guangxi, they did not seize much gunpowder, because most of the gunpowder of the Qing army in Guangxi was taken away by the Han army under the line Guoan. Except for a very small number of Han troops left behind in Guangxi, most of the Qing troops were cavalry and battalion soldiers, and they did not use firearms at all, so naturally there was no gunpowder for the Taiping army to capture. Therefore, except for a small part of the medicines used by the Taiping Army in Guangxi and Hunan, they were seized, and the rest were brought from Guangdong in the early stage. After repeated battles, the consumption of medicines is naturally astronomical.

Although Guangdong has built a new military factory specializing in the production of gunpowder, this factory is newly built and the number of medicines produced is limited. In order to supply the medicines for the front line, under the auspices of Song Xianggong, the governor of Guangdong, Si Yamen, and the Folang people in Macau purchased a lot of money, and also purchased a lot from the Zheng family in Jinxia. Medicine supply. However, because the Taiping Army progressed too fast and the front was stretched too long, it was difficult to transport materials from the rear to the front. On the Liuzhou side, it took six days for the fastest batch of medicines to arrive.

Shao Jiugong had some headaches. The reason why the Xiaobei Mountain defense line was able to kill a large number of Qing troops was the circular fortifications built along the mountains, but the fortifications were dead. In the end, it was the Taiping army's powerful firearm advantage on Xiaobei Mountain that killed the enemy. Now Xiaobei yam seeds are exhausted, but the treasury has no drugs to replenish, which makes the soldiers on the mountain kill the enemy.

Deputy General Wang Youxi suggested that some medicines should be dispatched immediately from the other two brigades in the fourth town, and another supporting army should be dispatched. After losing the advantage of firearms, the first brigade on the mountain could only fight hand-to-hand with the Qing army. great.

Shao Jiugong immediately accepted this suggestion and ordered a brigade from the tenth town to rush to Xiaobei Mountain to reinforce the fourth town, and also asked the navy to find a way to collect some medicines and send it to Xiaobei Mountain.

When Liuzhou was trying to make up for the shortage of medicines, on Xiaobei Mountain, the Fourth Town A Brigade and the soldiers of the Pao Town were already fighting with the Qing army that rushed up.

At the forefront are those daredevils who drank blood wine and wore iron armor. They were either the elites of the Han army, or the personal guards of the generals who surrendered to the army. All of them were rewarded in advance, and they even promised generous rewards after the war. Inspired by the heavy rewards and the breakthrough of most of the Ming army's positions, the Qing soldiers bravely took the lead, stepping on the bodies of men and women, stepping on the torsos of their comrades~www.NovelMTL.com~ a team of climbers Uphill top.

Replying to the questions of the book reviewers about the expulsion of the cannon fodder. Regarding the cannon fodder plot, the bones may have some details that violated the authenticity of the writing, which is slightly exaggerated, but it is generally realistic, based on countless barbarian specific battle examples over the millennium. .

For thousands of years, it has never been heard of cannon fodder resisting. In other words, for thousands of years, there has never been a description in the history books that we Han people would rise up when they were driven by the barbarians to attack their own army, would turn around and describe the desperate deeds of the barbarians who forced them to die.

If so, please point out in the book review that the bones also want to look at the so-called case of cannon fodder chasing one's own side against the water. In the process of searching for historical materials, what the bones saw were only thousands of Han people who desperately attacked their own soldiers and horses to survive.

Many people in the so-called Han army flags were originally soldiers of the Ming army captured by the Qing army, and people who were taken captive. In the early days, the value of their existence was cannon fodder. In the end, they became the fierce Qing soldiers and accomplices who helped the Zhou Dynasty to abuse. In the Liaodong battlefield, many cities were opened by spies from the inside, and many cities were smashed open by cannon fodder. (To be continued.)()
