Sir, you have to pay more

Chapter 354

"Master, are you serious?"

Seeing the young master issuing military orders one after another, Yang Zhi was quite shocked.

The governor of Shandong, Guotai, also asked the same question, and Jia Liu gave the same answer—he was serious.

There is no way, although Linqing earns hundreds of dollars for farting, but compared to the treasures in the underground palace of the holy ancestor, they are still nothing.

If calculated in terms of GDP, Linqing's side could be several billion at most, and Jingling's might be hundreds of billions.

How to choose, Jia Liu still knows the trade-offs.

If he continues to pursue the appeasement policy in Linqing, his position as director of the Tanglin Management Committee will be taken by someone else.

To use troops is to use money, and so is rebellion.

If you don't make a lot of money, what can you use to fight against the corrupt Eight Banners Group headed by Qianlong?
Without banknotes, how to build a new army, buy foreign guns and cannons, bring the red-haired devils over, and open Qianlong's eyes?

The survival of the Qing Dynasty will be fought here.

Fan Wei, the dog-headed soldier, meant that if Master Guijia really had great ambitions, he could secretly send water to induce Wang Lun to lead the Changsheng army out of Linqing, and then drive them all the way north.After that, he came to Beijing in the name of pursuit, and realized the replacement of the core of the Qing regime at the fastest speed with the least cost.

Yang Zhi agreed with this proposal because he was thinking about burning the Old Summer Palace.

Jia Liu was also moved, but after much deliberation, this plan can indeed win Alaska with ten dollars, but this plan has the most fatal weakness.

That is, Mr. Jia Jia does not have one in his hand 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 making a wedding dress for others.

Therefore, it is better to be down-to-earth and step by step.

The siege deployment was quickly communicated to all ministries.

Zhili general Wan Chaoxing and deputy Ma Erqing'a led 1500 troops to attack the east gate of the old city of Linqing; the Eight Banners Army was led by the counselor Yingjitu to attack the east gate.

Hedao's deputy general Wang Zhen led 1600 troops to attack the north gate of the old city of Linqing.

The Shandong soldiers, led by generals Ye Qing and Yang Zhaoli, attacked the south gate of the old city of Linqing.

Simon was handed over to Sauron's soldiers.

The Mongolian cavalry is mobile, and Chang Wei's army is the general reserve.

According to the surrendered brothers Yan Jiren, Liu Huan, and Yan Fengyuan, there are 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 are mostly mobs.

Wuhe didn't even know that the prime minister let them live. They were purely muddle-headed existences.

The weapons and equipment are mainly short knives and long guns, with up to [-] or [-] muskets, but they are equipped with four hundred-year-old red cannons.

It was Prince Yu who stayed in Linqing during his southern expedition, and it is said that it was dismantled from the top of Ningyuan City.

It's hard to say whether it will work or not.

The defensive strategy of the Ever Victorious Army is the new master and the old master, that is, to concentrate most of the main elite in the new city, and not to worry about the old city being defended.

When the Ever-Victorious Army attacked Linqing, the judge Qin Zhenjun also knew that the old city could not be defended, so he withdrew all the ferries and moved 100,000 taels of customs silver from Linqing to the new city for military supplies, and recruited more than [-] people from Minyong garrison.

Due to the lack of siege equipment, the Ever Victorious Army failed to break into the new city immediately after capturing the old city.After several armies of the Qing army attacked Linqing, the Changsheng army defeated the enemy in one fell swoop under the command of Fan Wei. Seeing this situation, the people in the new city were terrified and secretly opened the city, which allowed the Changsheng army to occupy the new city.

It was judged that Qin Zhenjun and other Linqing officials were all killed, and several 100,000 taels of tax money in the city also fell into the hands of the Changsheng army.

Fan Wei suggested that after taking the old city, concentrate elite troops to storm the south gate of the new city, because the defense there is relatively weak. As long as the officers and soldiers are brave enough, they can take it even if they climb the city with ladders.

This courage is the biggest problem facing the Qing army since the Shandong Rebellion.

If it wasn't for lack of courage, the important canal town would not have been taken over by gangsters.

Before the attack, Jia Liu called a meeting.

At the meeting, the super brave Prince Rawang asked where is the main attack and where is the assist? "

Jia Liu couldn't help being kind to this question, and then said: "My lord, there is no main attack in this siege, all the main attack!"

He also said that the first to enter the city will be the first.

After the military order was issued, all ministries immediately began to prepare for the siege. Thanks to the Prime Minister's compassion for the officers and soldiers, the morale of the Qing army participating in the siege was very strong.

Even the Shandong soldiers who followed Mr. Zong Bing after repeated battles and defeats all said that this time, no matter what, they would save the Prime Minister's face and shoot him a few more times.

Before the siege, Jia Liu still ordered the artillery to bombard the old-fashioned way, and asked to gather all the artillery together.

The mountain-piercing cannon is a battery group, and the small Frang machine is a battery group, firing in turn.

It's called "cannonball".

It's just that before the bombardment started, the bill for the loss of gun materials and medicines had already reached the hands of Yi Jiang'a, the supervisor of the household department.

Master Yi, who was praying with Master Wang for the siege officers and soldiers, was not in the mood to read the accounts, and continued to eat grapes without spitting out the grape skins.

"put!"

With the wave of the pennant, hundreds of mountain-splitting cannons and small Frang cannons were assembled, and they bombarded the old city of Linqing under the scorching sun.

The shrill gunfire was very harsh.

There was a loud "boom", a shell hit the top of the city, and the bricks of the city were blown apart, and the bricks flew flying. A soldier of the Ever Victorious Army who was squatting behind the battlements with his ears covered was smashed to the ground by the falling bricks. Blood was flowing, and he got up in a panic to bandage himself, but a flying shell directly sliced ​​off his head.

The blood-spraying headless corpse made the companions beside him vomit and scream in fright, making a mess.

More and more shells landed on the top of the city, and more than one unlucky guy was killed. As the shelling continued, the city soon fell into chaos.

The city gate building was also hit in many places, and several people were injured by falling buildings.

The screams rose and fell, and many unlucky Changsheng soldiers were directly hit by the cannons, and their bodies were blown into countless pieces, and their hands and feet were flying all over the sky, which was really frightening.

Those who were not killed on the spot wished they could die early, rolling all over the ground in pain, screaming miserably.

"My eyes, my eyes!"

A small boss covered his eye that was hit by brick dust. Blood continued to flow out from between his fingers, blurring his vision. The shattered eyeball was pulled out by his finger, and it just stuck to his palm. Gradually, he could not see anything. Can't tell.

Looking at the Changsheng army in chaos above the city, and listening to their screams, the soldiers of the Qing army below the city cheered with joy. Even Asha, who was riding on a horse by the canal, suddenly felt inspired and shouted loudly. Shouting out loud, he moved his few beards on his chin and said joyfully: "This cannon is well fired, and it has shown the prestige and prestige of our Qing soldiers and morale!"

"Cannonballing is indeed good, and it should be rewarded."

Prince Chaoyong, Lawang, also kept nodding his head, but he could smell a faint smell of shame in his nose.

If you sniff carefully, you can find that the smell of urine comes from Mr. Du Yushi.

During the bombardment earlier, Mr. Ah's heart trembled, and then involuntarily began to drip.

It's just that Du Yushi himself didn't know about it.
