Chapter 58 The Keping Victory

Ten muskets stretched forward in the first row of the horizontal formations shot out projectiles in just a few seconds. The flames flashed after the shooting, and then a smoke of gunpowder floated in the breeze. After the gunshot, the rebels' team seemed to have been cut into wheat. The people in the first row fell to the ground one after another. Death did not stop among the rebels. The musketeers shooting in the new army also fell sporadically under the muzzles of the rebels. Those shot by bows and arrows were their blessings. This old-fashioned weapon can only cause trouble for them and usually does not take the lives of the new soldiers. The military doctors following the new army played a huge role at this time. They quickly gave some simple treatments to the injured soldiers on the battlefield, and then carried the soldiers to the base camp. Don't underestimate these simple treatments. It is very likely that the injured soldiers will be saved by a simple bandage or sprinkled Yunnan Baiyao on the wound.

Compared with the fierce and sparse shooting of the new army, the firepower of the two sides was immediately judged, and soon this sporadic resistance disappeared. After several rounds of shooting, the rebels' middle lane began to retreat step by step. The teams of the two wings Changling and Yang Yuchun also took advantage of the situation to step up the attack.

The cavalry under Bayanbatu quickly ended the first round of attacks. When Senggelinqin, whose heads were covered with human heads, returned to the formation, the situation on the battlefield was clear at a glance.

Liu Ji put down his monocular glasses. The upcoming victory made him smile. He shouted at Senggelinqin who was returning to the camp: "My warriors, go hunting down Zhang Geer's defeated army for me."

Senggelinqin shouted suddenly: "Kill!" He held a sabre in his hand and rode his horse to the battlefield. The cavalry following behind shouted in unison: "Kill!"

The sound of yelling and killing on the battlefield came out of the new army's original formation, and then rolling thick dust rose in the army formation. A fierce cavalry came out of the dust and smoke, and Zhang Geer's rebels retreated like a dam.

*********************

After the victory of this battle, Liu Ji successfully regained Wushi and controlled the gateway to attack Kashgar.

After a little revision of Wushi, Liu Ji led a large army to continue the attack. One month later, he captured the Barchuk Army. Liu Ji ordered Changling to lead his men and horses to guard the fork in the fork in Kashgar and Yarkand, and he led his main force to attack the rebels' hinterland.

On September 19, 1825, Liu Ji led a large army to Daheguai, which was located in the lower reaches of the current Kizil River. On this barren land, the two sides of Daheguai were bending. The river suddenly bent here, forming a huge bend. In the middle of the bend, the water grass covered the swamp with green lush green. From time to time, water birds could be seen foraging in the swamp. The huge sunset shone on the long river, dyeing the flood blood red.

Liu Ji was bathed in the red sun, and his bright yellow armor seemed to be covered with a layer of blood-red gauze. For half a month, he still often remembered the Battle of Keping that day. The broken corpses lie stiffly in the wind and sand. The blood flowing on the sand made the yellow sand red. The remaining red willow trees and Hu Lin trees hung with distinct red and white intestines, as if they were in an open-air human slaughterhouse. Although most of the corpses were rebels, Liu Ji often inadvertently thought of this uncomfortable feeling.

At this moment, the blood-red sun was bathed in the setting sun. The huge setting sun in the sky reminded him of the corpses all over the battlefield. Few of them were complete, and the blood at the fracture was as bright as the misty sun in the sky.

Under Gong Zizhen's unified arrangement, the generals of each army commanded the camp to set up the tent. Thousands of large trucks behind surrounded the river in an orderly manner. More than half of these large trucks were used to drag cannons, and the five twelve-pound cannons were left in Wushi, because its weight of nearly 700 kilograms did cause a lot of trouble for transportation.

The camp was almost completed under the command of Gong Zizhen, and a small fortress was erected on the bank of the river.

There is a huge yellow tent in the center of this fortress, with a giant dragon embroidered with gold on the roof. This is Liu Ji's camp.

In this camp, Liu Ji met Yang Fang, the newly joined Guyuan Admiral.

Yang Fang was born on Nanmen Street, Chengnanmen Street, Songtao County, Guizhou. She has been a farmer for generations. Her family is slightly cold. She entered the school at the age of 10. She took the boy exam at the age of 13 and took the provincial exam at the age of 16. She was expelled for disobeying the academic envoy. She was angry and joined the army and joined the Tongren Xiezuoying Army. In the first month of the 60th year of Qianlong (1795), Yang Fang was suppressed by the Qing court for her "excellent combat" and "excellent meritorious achievements" in suppressing the uprising of Miao people in Hunan and Guizhou and the Bailian Cultivation of Sichuan and Chu. Since the 35th year of Qianlong, Yang Fang was highly valued by the Qing court for her "excellent warfare".

(1795) to the fifth year of Daoguang (1825), he was successively promoted to the additional foreign commissioner of Songtao Association, Zhenyuan Chief, Zhenyuan Crown Chief, Xiajiang Guerrilla in Guizhou, Ningshan General, Guangdong Right-wing Town General, Hanzhong Town General, Gansu, Zhili, Guyuan, Hunan and other places. Emperor Jiaqing successively awarded Yang Fang the title of "Chengguo Batulu" and the third rank top-notch in the fifth year of Jiaqing (1800) and the fifteenth year (1810).

This famous general in the middle Qing Dynasty was thin and capable. He was in his prime. When he saw Liu Ji, he immediately slapped his cuffs and knelt down and said, "I am the third-rank Guyuan Admiral Yang Fang, who is the third-rank Guyuan, pays homage to the emperor and wishes my emperor Keping a great victory."

Yang Fang's arrival sent a large amount of ammunition supplies to the army, accounting for 80% of the ammunition came from the Northern Manufacturing Bureau, which made Liu Ji very happy and finally could make ammunition by himself.

However, after Liu Ji saw a memorial, his cheerful mood immediately became depressed.

After Liu Ji left the capital, he handed over the affairs of the court to the Military Affairs Office for management. The eight ministers, including Cao Zhenyong, Yinghe, Sai Chong'a, Huang Yue, Changling, Jiang Youzhi, Tao Shu, and Bao Shichen, jointly handled government affairs.

Just as Liu Ji led a large army to fight at Daheguai, eight military ministers ordered the expulsion of British envoys from the country.

The reason for the incident was that Lulaub despised the Indian servants in the embassy were too lazy, and asked familiar Chinese people to find several maids in the capital. These maids soon found some terrifying problems. They often found that foreign owners hid in the study and drank a red drink, and the food they ate was red and white, which was worrying. What made the servants feel even more indifferent was that Lulaub often kissed his wife in front of them, and of course, including the slightly forgiven mistake of chewing on his wife's fingers. The bigger mistake was that Lulaub was playing a hooligan in front of a young maid husband and teased the maid and said, "You are a beautiful Chinese woman." Of course, this sentence was translated and reposted by the second Japanese devil who could not seduce the maid, and later confirmed by Lulaub himself. That was what Lulaub said.
