"He Weng (referring to Sai Shanga), the monk king, and the rebel bandits have gathered 20,000 people on Lantau Island! He threatened to attack our Qing Dynasty, and a grand ceremony has been held! I will invade the mainland soon!"
In the Yuehai Camp outside Guangzhou City, Bai Siwen jogged in from outside anxiously, but Yeli forgot to go, so he shouted at Sai Shanga and Senggelinqin who were standing in front of the map.
Saishana and Senggelinqin were obviously mentally prepared and were not panicked, but just looked at each other.
"Is the message true?"
Saishana turned around and asked Bai Siwen.
"It's true. It was found out by HSBC... He Weng, should he step up his attack on Baiyun Mountain? If Baiyun Mountain can be taken down within two days, there may be time to reorganize the army to fight Zhu Ni."
"What else can you do to fight Baiyun Mountain?" Senggelinqin did not look back and waved her hand. "There are less than 8,000 green camps outside Guangzhou City, and there are still 12,000 Eight Banners soldiers... How many people are there in Zhu Jishi?"
"There are 20,000..."
"Our more than 20,000 people beat him but no one won't win. If we beat him 20,000, there is still hope to beat him?" Senggelinqin said lightly.
"King of Monk, do you want..." Bai Siwen's face changed slightly. He looked at Senggelinqin, and then looked at Sai Shanga. The two of them are Fengjiang! Are they going to abandon Guangzhou and leave?
"When will the military bid and Fu Biao go to Guangzhou? Have you given the transfer orders for 7 town bids?" Senggelinqin asked Guangdong Admiral Xianglin. Although his battle was not good, he did not accept it. He is still in charge of any punishment in Guangdong Green Camp.
"The order to transfer military standards and tuitions was issued three days ago. At the latest day after tomorrow, they will be able to return to Guangzhou. The order to transfer seven towns has been issued, but the distance between these seven towns and Guangzhou is different. Therefore, there will be a sequence of arrivals, and all of them will need to be concentrated for at least ten days."
This is to concentrate troops to fight Zhu Ming to a decisive battle! Bai Siwen thought about it. There were five or six thousand military personnel in Fubiao, and there were at least ten thousand people in the seven towns plus one, plus there were at least 18,000 yuan here in Guangzhou. Twenty thousand, but it’s only 50,000!
Senggelinqin seemed to be talking to herself: "If you don't win, you will be useful to occupy Baiyun Mountain? And the battlefield cannot be placed under the city of Guangzhou, but should be placed on the north bank of the East River, right there Let’s fight against the bandits, let’s use our 50,000 troops there.”
Baiyun Mountain and Guangzhou City are mutually supportive, and if they want to defend, they should occupy it. After a few days of fighting, everyone knows that the bandits on Baiyun Mountain are not easy to deal with. If you use the 20,000 Eight Banners Green Camp at hand to attack fiercely Maybe they can win, but after the battle, these soldiers were half-invaded, and they could not fight again without a few months of rest and replenishment.
Zhu Jishi's 20,000 people will arrive within ten days. What should I do to compete with Zhu Jishi? With 7 town marks and tuitions, can less than 30,000 people with military marks be able to do it? Look at these green camp soldiers in Baiyun You will know the performance in the Battle of the Mountain! And who doesn’t know that the bravery of the Zhenbiao is definitely not as good as the governor, governor, tutor, and military officials? Even the treatment is not as good as that of the governor! Those generals have more ways to make money without the governor. Just pointed at drinking soldiers and living a life! As for the flood defense soldiers below the town, Senggelinqin was too lazy to mobilize them, so she let them die for themselves...
"Enming, you brought money to Guangzhou this time?" Senggelinqin asked Bai Siwen again.
"About 350,000 silver dollars." Bai Siwen replied, "It turns out that there are still 4.35 million taels of silver ingots in the Westernization Department. In order to avoid getting caught in the opponent, they have all been deposited in HSBC Bank in France. Muweng also ordered more than 100,000 foreign guns from HSBC Bank.
And hundreds of cannons will arrive in Shanghai at the end of July next year (the lunar calendar).
"That's how..." Sai Shanga frowned when he heard this. Lin Zexu bought so many weapons in one breath only explained one problem. He didn't believe that the government army could defeat Zhu Jishi in Guangdong! This troubled time might have just gotten up!
"The competition platform, how much silver does the Guangdong vassal Curry have?" Senggelinqin silently calculated and asked Sai Shang Adao again.
"It's about two million." Originally, Guangdong Province's annual tax revenue was more than four million taels, but last year, the coastal defense donations were opened, and a lot of more were collected, so there was a lot more deposits in the vassal treasury.
"That's good! Take it out!" Senggelinqin laughed.
"Take it out? King of Monk, are you thinking..."
"You can't let the Han people work for nothing!" Senggelinqin said, twisting her beard, "Although the lives of the Han people are not worth much, if you want to inspire fighting spirit, you have to spend a lot of money! Before the war, both officers and soldiers gave away 5 taels of silver and took one
The first thief has 10 taels of silver with pattern, and the reward number of the vanguard is also 10 taels!"
"Wow, King of Monk, you are so handsome!" Sai Shanga took a breath.
"This is the only thing that wins! If you lose, Guangzhou will belong to others. Can you still take more than 2 million taels of silver?"
"Not it? Guangzhou's city defense..."
"It's useless." Senggelinqin waved his hand, "The weather is not as good as the place, and the place is not as good as the people! Although Guangzhou City is solid, the people in Guangzhou are not on our side!"
This is really good. Guangdong has been the base camp for the anti-Qing and restoring Ming Dynasty for 200 years. People's hearts have never been on the side of the Qing Dynasty! If they can't win, Senggelinqin would rather retreat to Hunan than defend Guangzhou City.
"King of Monk, you and I are ministers of the border!" Sai Shang's face looked a little ugly.
Senggelinqin smiled and lowered her voice and said, "The emperor will understand your and my difficulties. It is really worthwhile to spend the lives of 14,000 Eight Banners heroes in Guangzhou, which is doomed to be unable to defend!"
...
At this moment, Kowloon Pier.
This place is close to the quiet bay called Victoria Bay by the British, and is a natural deep-water port. Although it has only been opened for a short time, it is full of sails and is extremely busy. There are hundreds of Chinese sailboats anchored on Victoria Bay, each of which is full of silos.
The goods entering and leaving through the Kowloon Pier every day were hundreds of thousands of kilograms.
However, the market in Kowloon has not yet fully grown. Outside the pier, there are two long streets intersecting. Guangzhou Thirteen Street has shopping malls on these two streets, most of which are brand new houses that have just been completed. There are many tall ones.
The Western buildings are all offices located in Kowloon by foreign companies.
In addition, at the end of the street, two factories with chimneys each have roughly completed. However, the factory gate is more like a government office, with the "Kowloon Manufacturing Bureau" and "Kowloon Official Money Bureau" hanging on it.
The brand is beautifully written by Lin Zexu or Wei Yuan? Liangbai Siwen does not have such writing skills. Next to the Kowloon Manufacturing Bureau, there is a newly completed school called "Kowloon Western Affairs School"
".Now the doors of these two factories and one school are closed tightly, and I don't know if there are anyone inside?
A Jishi Army infantry battalion with the sun and moon flags drove over from the direction of the dock. The 480 young men were wearing brown basilisks with bayonets on their shoulders. The woolly uniforms were straight, lined up in three columns, following the officers.
The command, taking neat steps, moved forward in a mighty manner. No one whispered to each other, and no one looked around. No other sound was made except for the command and stepping sound.
Although most of the buildings on both sides of the street have not been completed, there are already shopkeepers who have entered the business. The recent news is wrong, and many people have withdrawn to Guangzhou, but they have not left. So now, every one is tight
Behind the closed door, there were several pairs of curious and nervous eyes looking at the passing company.
This is the legendary Ming army of the overseas emperor!
This is the Guangdong Province where the world is full of oxen. Who knows the slogan of "H flag flutters, heroes are all drawn, overseas emperors come to restore the Ming Dynasty"? Not to mention that Zhu Jishi also spread his "Ta Kung Pao everywhere through the disciples of the Hongmen
》, I promote the "Three Massacres of Jiading", "Ten Days of Yangzhou", and "Guangzhou Gengyin Calamity". As long as the Guangdong people with some knowledge, they all know that our Zhu Daming Gong is coming to counterattack the mainland and restore the Ming Dynasty.
of!
"What an elite!"
When the people who saw this camp of Ming army couldn't help but feel emotion in their hearts. Compared with the Ming army in Jiulong City, the Qing Dynasty's classical soldiers in Jiulong City were just a piece of shit!
"It's a pity that it's a little less!"
Then someone thought that there were millions of heavenly soldiers in the Qing Dynasty! How many people could the Ming army have?
One battalion's troops passed quickly, then there was a second, third, and fourth battalion until the twenty-fourth battalion passed, then a team of fancy-dressed cavalry, and finally eight horses
The cannons and four horses pulled carriages rumbled through the streets. They were all the same elite, nearly 20,000 people, just following the command of the officers. Countless foreign guns with bayonets were in the sunshine.
There is a glorious brilliance below.
