Liu Songshan made the decision in public, using Huang Ding's strategy of using barbarians to control barbarians, and prepared to petition the court to let Cui Wei patrol Lingzhou, and Lan Mingtai temporarily patrolled Yan'an, with the official title of a fourth-grade civil servant. There was a huge difference between the actual shortage and the alternate official.
Don't
, the official positions rewarded by the surrender faction were empty titles. Officials' annual salary was given according to their official positions, but for officials in the Qing Dynasty, the annual salary was negligible. The gray income was several times, even dozens, or even hundreds of times the annual salary.
Of course, being an official in a war-torn area does not bring much fortune, but it will not be much worse in the future. The Qing court pays attention to fairness in fat and thin, and will not wrong people who serve as officials in a poor place. Liu Songshan used these two moves to mark the end of Dong Zhiyuan's uprising.
Military leaders began to be reused by the Qing Dynasty, and they began to rely on these national heroes not only in the military but also in the civil affairs.
Next, Liu Songshan drove away the people who were guarding the gate. Only four people, Xu Zhanbiao, Huang Ding, and Liu Jintang, were left in the conference room. They discussed how to instigate the leader of the returning army in Jinjibao. In recent times, the Qing army has slowed down its attack on Wuzhongbao.
To attack is to wait for the internal troops to return to the army and respond to the uprising in Tongxin City.
Huang Ding looked like he was grasping the treasure and said: "Liu Junmen, I have already established a line with the internal forces in Tongxin City. Chen Daoqin has gained the trust of Yu Yanlu, and the number of troops has expanded to more than 2,000. Now we just wait for Yu Yanlu to leave Tongxin City.
City, we must create conditions for Yu Yanlu to leave Tongxin City as soon as possible. According to reliable reports,
According to the news, Ma Hualong invited Bai Yanhu, Harianjin and others to hold a military meeting in Yongning Cave. Yu Yanlu was also invited. As soon as he leaves, Tongxin City will be ours. Our army will occupy Tongxin City and Wuzhong Fort will be at our fingertips. Within three seconds, Tongxin City will be ours.
God, the returning troops from Wuzhong Fort will definitely abandon their defense, and we can intercept them halfway."
Liu Jintang asked suspiciously: "Zhu Daoist, what if the returning army did not abandon Wuzhong Fort?" [
Xu Zhanbiao laughed and said: "That's not easy. Just let Guo Dazui close the door and beat the dog. He has a way of fighting tough battles. You kid, learn from it. What is efficiency first?"
Huang Ding raised his eyes and said: "Liu Junmen, you Hunan Army must also change. Don't fight with others at all times. A veteran is the treasure of an army. If you are well prepared before the war, you can save many veterans from death."
"But Marshal Zuo, you are urging me so hard!" Liu Songshan reluctantly found a reason, trying to find an excuse for the Hunan Army's preference for hand-to-hand combat.
"Don't speak, Marshal Zuo. Shut up, Marshal Zuo. I have attended the military meeting. Marshal Zuo asked our army to capture Dong Zhiyuan before November. How many months is it now? Don't do it because our army will win quickly in the front, but you will have to do it later.
Compared with Xu Zhentai, the battle must be resolved quickly at Jinjibao. I know that the Hunan Army can fight, but you must also consider the future war. I still say that this is a civil war, and returning to the army is by no means iron.
We must work together to try our best to make the returning troops fall into disarray and weaken Ma Hualong's strength little by little. In the end, someone will rush to deliver the heads of Ma Hualong and Ma Yaobang." Huang Ding had a bad tone and showed no respect for Liu Songshan. They
These people had been fighting for more than ten years, and they were already close friends of life and death, and they spoke without any scruples. Some of them even participated in persuading Zeng Guofan to rebel, and they were not die-hard loyal to the Qing Dynasty.
Liu Jintang smiled and said: "Then I would like to see what tricks Guo Dazui has learned now. Efficiency comes first, which is easier said than done. The soldiers assigned to us by Marshal Zuo are all three months old.
The new recruit can't even pull the bolt of the gun smoothly, so there's no efficiency."
"Learn to fight on the battlefield. Everyone wants to live. Guo Dazui's soldiers are willing to learn, why can't you Hunan Army? In order to survive, the soldiers learn quickly. Guo Dazui squanders his money, and there are endless artillerymen, and he immediately achieves great results.
.What is efficiency? How many people, how many explosives, and how many pellets are used on the battlefield?
How many enemies are killed in total can be turned into numbers. Let the numbers speak for themselves, which can best reflect the efficiency of an army. The pretty boy should learn from it." Xu Zhanbiao taught Liu Jintang that the Qing army has no shortage of death squads. With a military order, the soldiers will regard death as home. It can be used as a commander.
Officers are also responsible for the soldiers and try their best to let the soldiers walk off the battlefield alive.
Liu Songshan smiled and said: "We have been separated for three days, so we should look at each other with admiration. The two of you have become treacherous and scheming like businessmen. Then help me calculate, when will Marshal Zuo take over Lingzhou City?"
"Liu Junmen, does that still count? He returned to the army to get a vote and escaped long ago. Lingzhou City has been burned to rubble by the Huizi. Marshal Zuo can only do the aftermath work, you think I'm stupid!"
Xu Zhanbiao sighed slightly, put his hands behind his hands in front of the Jinjibao model, and kept walking in circles. Soldiers just like to look at maps. If you have nothing to do, you can look at it like this for a day.
The four of them were discussing how to return to the army, secretly having fun, and happily clasping hands to celebrate. The battle situation was completely under control, and the Qing army was in sight of victory.
Suddenly, the scout came to report, and a shocking news came. Gao Liansheng's troops of the Chu army in the Yan'an area rebelled. The camp officer Lei Heng killed Gao Liansheng, and the Qing army of nearly 2,000 people blew up the camp.
The four people's faces turned pale and they were speechless for a moment. It was no wonder that food and grass supplies could not be provided. It turned out that Lei Heng, the camp officer of the supply camp, led the members of the Ge Laohui to rebel.
Liu Songshan asked anxiously: "Yang Dawazi, Mu San and the others are also rebelling?"
"Yes! After receiving the news, Yang Dawazi and Mu San's two battalions also rebelled."
"These bastards, I'm going to chop them up alive!" Liu Songshan's eyes were red, and he swept everything in front of him and threw the model on the table to the ground, leaving a mess in the conference room.
"Does Marshal Zuo know about it?" Xu Zhanbiao was sweating profusely with anxiety. If the more than two million kilograms of grain and grass stored in the Yan'an area were gone, the more than 40,000 Qing troops and more than 10,000 civilians in front would immediately cause chaos.
"Commander Zuo should have known the news a day earlier than here." Tan Ma lowered his head and replied, not daring to look up at the faces of the four generals, ready to be kicked at any time.
In desperation, Liu Songshan ordered: "Liu Jintang, I order you to lead two battalions of cavalry and set off immediately to do something cheap. Huang Ding led four battalions to follow, and then ordered Guo Baochang to lead four battalions of cavalry to follow closely.
"
Huang Ding saw that Liu Songshan was already in disarray. How could he send out all the cavalry? The cavalry could not fight tough battles, so they had to mobilize the troops in an orderly manner, so he said: "Liu Jintang, you lead two battalions of cavalry and leave first. We have a meeting.
Research countermeasures, you have to be quick, don’t think about other consequences, I will follow up later."
"Yes! I'll leave now." Liu Jintang didn't lose his mind. He took an order arrow from the bamboo tube on the desk. Then he sat down and wrote the military order, and asked Liu Songshan to stamp it with a big red seal before leaving the meeting.
room.[
Xu Zhanbiao's eyes were filled with tears, but his thoughts were still clear. He choked and said: "Liu Junmen can't raise his account now. He has to hide this matter from the soldiers on the front line. Marshal Zuo will also send troops to Yan'an. I think Huang Ding will be mobilized."
Four cavalry battalions are enough. For other units, the Hunan Army’s six infantry battalions and artillery battalions should be mobilized.”
Liu Songshan was just impulsive. After he calmed down, he had new ideas and began to write military orders.
(This is a real historical event. Yan'an is a good place to fight guerrillas. Ge Laohui fell in love with Yan'an when he rebelled. It can be said that heroes have the same vision. It's a pity that he met Li Guolou.)
Xu Zhanbiao suddenly asked: "Zodiac officer, isn't Battelle, the battalion officer of Li Ziying, suppressing bandits in the Yan'an area? He should be the first to get the news. Will anything happen?"
Huang Ding's face changed, he beat the case angrily, and cursed: "Li Guolou has no good intentions. He should have seen the hidden dangers of our army, so he let Battelle wander around Yan'an. In fact, he wanted to protect our army."
Liangdao, you brat didn’t even tell me!”
"Really!" Liu Songshan and Xu Zhanbiao stared at Huang Ding in unison, their ugly faces showing surprise.
"Yes, it must be like this. To be honest, it was this boy who gave me the idea of using Cui Wei and Lan Mingtai just now. Even the matter of returning to the army as an internal agent was his idea for me. This boy is
God is the best at finding loopholes. He also discovered the loopholes in our army. Hey! I don’t know.
Why don't you tell me what good things you say about him?" Huang Ding sighed sadly, feeling vaguely that this crisis can still be saved. It is not in a salvageable situation. As long as Li Guolou dispatches Li Ziying's troops and horses, with sophisticated equipment and
The military concept of putting efficiency first can completely eliminate 2,000 rebels.
"That boy, are you so awesome?" Liu Songshan was full of hope. If the Qing army's supply line was cut off and the more than two million kilograms of grain and grass stored in Yan'an were destroyed, this year's war would not even begin.
The Qing army could only retreat to Dong Zhiyuan, while a small group of Qing troops held on to Lingzhou.
"Hurry! Otherwise Lei Heng, Yang Dawazi, Mu San and others will soon expand to 20,000 troops. We have to compete with the rebels for time, otherwise we will be in trouble later." Xu Zhanbiao seemed to see the most terrifying scene, the rebels opened a warehouse
They released grain and recruited troops and horses in the Yan'an area. In addition to grain and grass, there was no shortage of weapons and medicine transported by the baggage camp. Gao Liansheng's troops rebelled, which was a fatal blow to the Qing army. Time became the Qing army's biggest enemy.
"Well, I believe in Zhao Zilong of the Qing Dynasty. His bravery can only be matched by others. Now you can only rely on him. You can believe in my vision, it must be like this." Huang Ding looked towards the south with bright eyes, hoping that Li Guolou could lead him
Give the Qing army good news.
"Li Guolou, Zhao Zilong." This time Liu Songshan did not laugh mockingly, but was extremely serious. He was lying, hoping that Li Guolou could save the Qing army's face this time, and calculated the more than 500 cavalrymen of Li Ziying.
Where? Read the military report of Li Ziying from the documents. At least you must first find the general direction of Li Ziying, so that you can issue combat orders.
"Liu Junmen, stop looking. Battelle should be in Wanhuashan Township. The last military report said that more than a hundred bandits were wiped out, but I don't know now, so I still sent someone to pass on the order." Huang Ding has a good brain, and the military report is chaotic.
After watching it, I have some impressions.
"Did Li Guolou leave Dong Zhiyuan?" Liu Songshan raised his head and asked.
Xu Zhanbiao nodded slightly and said: "He will still give me my face. Li Guolou should be on the way. He has cannons and grenades. The rebels will not mess with him. Yang Dawazi and Mu San were recruited by him. Alas.
"
Xu Zhanbiao couldn't talk anymore, and Li Guolou also had a time when he was unkind, and the members of the Ge Laohui who brought harm to the Qing Dynasty rebelled again. This time, Li Guolou also had to face the consequences, and he couldn't even think about being knighted.
"I think Yang Dawazi and Mu San may be pretending to rebel and want to clear out Lei Heng's subordinates and make new achievements. Xu Zhentai, don't rush to conclusions. Let's wait and see." Huang Ding took the military order and left the meeting.
It was pouring rain outside the room. Huang Ding took the raincoat handed over by Goshiha and walked towards the military camp, anxious, hoping that the rebels would also be tripped up by the heavy rain and give Li Guolou a rainbow.
In the conference room, Liu Songshan raised his head and asked: "Is it possible?"
"Oh! Maybe he is a god. I want to beat Li Guolou to death with a whip. Why did you resort to such a despicable trick and didn't say anything to me?" Xu Zhanbiao didn't know what to say. He hoped that it would be possible and told him in his heart.
Impossible.
Liu Songshan wrote down the military order, stamped it with a big seal, and regained his spirit of moving forward. What is this setback? The Qing army was indomitable and could overcome no matter how difficult it was. The old Hunan army was an iron army that could not be defeated.
The team still advancing under heavy rain must be the Hunan Army cavalry battalion led by Liu Jintang.
