Sir, you have to pay more

Chapter 363 Invincible Jia Shikai

The emperor's son-in-law and Prince Chaoyong were actually shot by a fish gun that had slipped through the net from the thieves. When the news came out, the three armies were shocked.

Lieutenant General Wang Zhen of He Dao gloated, and said to the left and right, not without complacency: "Master Jia wants to protect others, but he didn't think that this time he would have trouble protecting himself."

The facts are exactly as expected by Wang Zhen. If the bandits of the city sect were massacred, how could they slip through the net?

It was only because you, Mr. Jia Jia, prevented the massacre of the city that the prince was attacked. Afterwards, the emperor pursued it. How can you, Mr. Jia Jia, do well?

Yang Jingsu, chief minister of Zhili, heard that Lawang was attacked and was so anxious that he led people to stay at the Lawang rescue place, lest the emperor's son-in-law be sick and whimper.

After hearing the news, Governor Guotai of Shandong and Governor Xu Ji of Tianjin hurried over from the station, fearing that the emperor's son-in-law would die in front of the battle.

In the end, after being rescued by the doctor, Prince Chaoyong was out of danger, but no one dared to guarantee whether he could recover from his injury.

As soon as the prince was shot three times, the guns were all critical.

Secondly, although the lead is taken out, the lead is poisonous, and no one knows whether the lead poisoning will occur.

No one dared to conceal such a big matter.

Jia Liu reported to Beijing the details of the siege and the attack on Prince Chaoyong in his capacity as Prime Minister Shandong Military Affairs Minister.

And in the memorial, he impeached the imperial censor Asiha, who was too weak to fight against the enemy. Prince Lawang ordered the massacre of the city without authorization, resulting in the killing of more than ten thousand innocent people.

The governor of Shandong Guotai, the governor of Tianjin Xu Ji, and the chief envoy of Zhili also all played a memorial, most of which were true.

The four big brothers wrote to go to Beijing in a hurry for eight hundred miles, and the order was sent back three days later.

"The old and new cities are not good people if they don't resist the religious bandits. They all follow the rebellious people. For such rioters, the army should use majesty to deter the local Xiaoxiao and then attack the new city. Anyone who looses their braids in the city can be killed."

In his will, Qianlong severely reprimanded Jia Liu for his wifely benevolence, and ordered Jia Liu to be dismissed from the post of Minister of Military Affairs of Shandong Province, and to retain his former rank in the army.

He also ordered Shu Hede, who was the governor of the Manchuria capital of Zhengbai Banner and a bachelor of the Imperial Academy, to be the imperial envoy, and rushed to Laiqing to take over the post of prime minister in military affairs.

Since the Qing army attacked the old city and lost a total of more than 200 Banner Han officers and soldiers, when Shuhede went south, he picked up 800 soldiers from the Cangzhou garrison, and transferred 1000 troops from the Tianjin Green Camp. In addition, there were 500 Baoding Green Camp soldiers. , [-] Zhengding Green Battalion soldiers were dispatched by Zhou Yuanli, governor of Zhili, and transferred to the Qing Dynasty, and were still handed over to the commander-in-chief Wan Chaoxing.

Governor He Ting of Henan also dispatched 1700 troops to aid Linqing, bringing the total strength of the Qing army besieging Linqing to about 14000.

The severely injured Prince Chaoyong, Lawang, was rushed to Beijing for treatment, and Jia Liu and a group of officials saw him off in person.

The Chaoyong prince lying on the car was like a little white dragon that had been cramped, his expressionless face was like a walking corpse.

After the royal car drove north, Guotai, the governor of Shandong, saw Jia Liu's face was ugly, and he couldn't help comforting him: "You shouldn't have stopped the massacre that day. Now it's all right. The emperor blamed you. Fortunately, he just dismissed the post of prime minister. There is still a chance of recovery.”

Xu Ji, the governor of Tianjin, and Yang Jingsu, the governor of Zhili, also said to you, and I comforted Jia Liulai with one sentence. After all, the relationship between us has been very harmonious in the past few months, and we have each gained a lot. I am still very grateful to Brother Shikai of.

Unexpectedly, Brother Shikai asked the three big brothers to help him capture Linqing City in one fell swoop.

And it was ahead of Shu Hede, the imperial envoy.

"This"

After hearing this request, the three brothers looked at each other and agreed to Shi Kai's request.

But what Jia Liu didn't expect was that before his side could make a move, Wang Lun moved first.

The old city was breached, and Wang Lun should lead the rest of the people to break out of the siege, but the leader still had no plans to leave Linqing, but he also realized that he could no longer sit still, so he thought of a way to use offense as defense.

Wang Lun divided the main force of the 5000 ever-victorious army into three teams, one with Wang Jinglong as the commander, one with Meng Can as the commander, and one with Wang Weiquan as the commander.

He left the city suddenly in the early morning of the 22nd.

Meng Can led his troops to attack the old city, Wang Jinglong led his troops to attack the Qing army camp by the canal, and Wang Weiquan was in the middle to respond.

Among them, Wang Jinglong had the most soldiers and horses. Obviously, the recovery of the old city was a cover, and its purpose was to break through the Qing army camp.

"Don't pay attention to Meng Can and Wang Weiquan, just force Wang Jinglong back!"

Fan Wei gave advice to trainee military advisers.

Jia Liu accepted it, and immediately dispatched troops to fight head-on, and once again put on armor to lead the Changwei Army to fight against the Green Camp.

Considering that the Hedao soldiers might not obey the military order of his "laid-off" prime minister, Jia Liu directly asked Zamur to hold the Nibilong sword to Wang Zhen, the deputy general of Hedao, and sent him a message: "If you don't obey the order, Jia prevents you from seeing the sun tomorrow!"

Faced with the threat of the laid-off prime minister and Ye Bilong's sword, Wang Zhen scolded his mother in his heart, but he dared not disobey the order.

With the cooperation of Guotai, Xu Ji, and Yang Jingsu, all other soldiers and horses were ordered to fight.

The only Shandong general who has a stomach ailment went into battle in person, because the new imperial envoy, Prime Minister and Minister of Military Affairs Shu Hede wrote a letter to impeach him two months ago, and wanted to bring him to justice.

Therefore, in order to survive, they had to destroy Linqing before Shu Hede arrived, and let Shu Hede come in vain.

Otherwise, the Shu University scholar might really be able to use his only head to make a name for himself.

After Wang Jinglong led his troops out of the city, he thought that the green battalion in front of him would watch the wind and fire as before, but he supervised the congregation all the way, but he didn't hear the Qing army firing on the opposite side.

I saw a big banner with the word "Jia" standing in the formation of the Qing army.

"Anyone who shoots without an order will be killed by the whole team!"

Jia Liu, who was riding on the white horse, had a serious expression on his face, and all the Banner and Han officers had received strict orders.The direct line Changwei Army is even more vigilant throughout the army. Once the Green Camp is found to be retreating without authorization, it will be suppressed.

Before the battle, soldiers were given ten taels of silver uniformly, and officers increased step by step.

After layers of deployment, they finally stabilized their position.

The trumpet was not ordered until Wang Jinglong's department rushed into the range of the guns in a panic.

In an instant, guns fired together, and many thieves were killed.

Another military order was issued, ordering Debu and Yingjitu to lead 500 people each to protrude from the formation, and the left and right wings were subcontracted to the Changsheng Army.

Extremely short of weapons and the demoralized old city, Wang Jinglong's tribe soon fell into the siege of the Qing army.

Wu Sanniang, who was watching the battle in the city, saw that Wang Jinglong's tribe was surrounded by the Qing army, so she quickly asked her adoptive father Wang Lun for a military order and led the horse team out of the city to help in the battle.

Seeing the bandits leaving the city, Jia Liu blew the trumpet and ordered cannons to stop them, killing dozens of bandits and horses.

Wang Jinglong, who was caught in a bitter battle, also had the idea of ​​retreating, and retreated while fighting. With Wang Wei's support, he could barely retreat into the city.

Meng Can's troops were also unable to attack the old city where the Qing army was stationed.

In this battle, the Qing army killed more than [-] enemies.

Unwilling to fail, Wang Lun organized another camp robbery that night, and sent marshals Wu Qinglin and Li Zhonglai to lead a surprise attack with 400 dead soldiers from the sect. As a result, they were repelled by the well-prepared Qing army, killing 34 enemies and capturing 11.

Three of the captives were captured by Jia Jia Shikai himself, as evidenced by the memorandum of Zhili chief envoy and Shandong governor Guotai.

The next day, at the suggestion of Fan Wei, Jia Liu ordered the Changwei Army, the Eight Banners Soldiers, and the Zhili Green Camp to attack the pontoon bridge north of Xincheng. .

The tactics are still bombardment, infantry on.

Under the fierce bombardment of the Qing army's guns, many Changsheng troops guarding the pontoon bridge were shot, and no less than a hundred people fell into the river.

"Follow me to win the bridge!"

Jia Liu personally led the troops to launch an attack, and captured the pontoon bridge within half an hour of the battle.

So far, the Ever Victorious Army has become the turtle in the urn.

Looking at the completely hopeless Linqing City, Jia Liu couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief, and ordered people to fly a white flag to the city to persuade Wang Lun to surrender.
