Chapter 460
As a witness to the decisive battle between Kangxi and Ningchu, Narsu really had too much emotion. The Qing army fought against the Fuhan army with an absolute superior force, and also had an absolute advantage in the cavalry, but in the end they fought. A big defeat, losing this decisive battle that determined the fate of the Qing Dynasty, in Narsu's view, was purely a difference in weapons.

The morale of the Fuhan army was indeed high and they fought bravely, but the Qing army was not bad at all. At that time, Kangxi led almost all the eight banners of the Beijing camp, plus some Fujian rattan soldiers, all of whom had been tested in the previous war. , He also showed his blood on the actual battlefield.

Even when it comes to the issue of command, the Qing army did not have too many problems. Although Ning Chu had been leading the way, the Qing army still had the upper hand in the final battle - so in Narsu's view At present, the Qing army only has weapons that need to be made up.

Because of this, Narsu is now full of self-confidence. He believes that there are new weapons to make up for it. In addition, the Manchu cavalry is not incapable of fighting in the north.

Therefore, looking at the excited Emperor Yongzheng, Naersu knelt on the ground boldly and said, "I would like to report to the emperor that the Eight Banners New Army and ten towns are all so elite, and their equipment is relatively good, please continue to see the emperor. "

Hearing what Narsu said, Yongzheng felt a little more anticipation at the moment. He looked at the new army on the field, and saw that thousands of people had started to practice, and some people were calling the number of the troops they belonged to. The big characters, "The First Association of the First Town of the Eight Banners New Army", are very conspicuous from a distance.

According to Narsu's introduction, the current [-] and Eight Banners New Army can be divided into eight towns. Banners are named, for example, the first town is also called Xianghuang Banner Xinjun Town, and so on.

In the establishment of each town, the rated number of people is 1, which is 500 more than the current division of the Fuhan Army, and each town has two infantry associations, and the number of each association Among the more than 500 people, as well as an artillery team of 500 people and a cavalry team of more than [-] people, the rest is the supply battalion.

Therefore, there are a total of sixteen infantry associations in the eight towns of the Eight Banners and New Army, and each association is divided into eight battalions. However, the momentum is extremely magnificent, these people belong to the infantry battalion.

Under the watchful eyes of Yongzheng and others, the four infantry battalions marching ahead carried out demonstrations such as marching, arraying, and shooting. It can be seen that although these people have not actually gone to the battlefield, they still put more or less effort into training. Yes, so it made everyone look mesmerized.

After the next four battalions came over, they also carried out an all-round demonstration just like the four battalions just now, but at the end of the demonstration, they heard a trumpet sound, and saw the Qing soldiers of these four battalions, He took off the bayonet from his waist, inserted it into the tip of the gun, and started a similar stabbing action.

Looking at the cold bayonet, the princes and ministers on the observation platform did not feel strange. It can be said that the Qing army fell under the guns and artillery of the Fuhan army on the one hand, and fell under the bayonet on the other.

Under this consideration, although the role of the bayonet was not as great as imagined, the Qing army still tried its best to do some, and then hung it on the head of the gun like the Fu Han army did, and also practiced some assassination moves. But for those melee fighters in the Qing army, the bayonets that the Qing army is using now are simply a joke.

The reason is very simple, the bayonet itself is only auxiliary equipment, even if the Ningchu army attaches great importance to bayonet training, they will not pin their victory on the bayonet - as long as they can be defeated by muskets and artillery from a distance, why go to the bayonet?
While learning the firearms and artillery of the Fuhan army, the Qing army also paid great attention to all weapons such as bayonets, grenades and even rockets. However, the technology of firearms and artillery is too difficult, and the principle of grenades and rockets is completely unreasonable. , It really looks like the simplest bayonet, but it hasn't really been made yet.

In the words of the craftsmen of the Qing army, the bayonets made in the workshop could not be hung on the muzzle of the gun at all, and could not be fixed accurately, so that the bayonets often fell off easily, and there was no way to pose a real threat, especially the few bayonets that were finally made , When it was time for the experiment, it was discovered that even the tiger-clothed rattan soldiers had never been fought.

However, after learning of this incident, Narsu did not choose to stop the manufacture of bayonets, but sealed the news, and then spent time accumulating a batch of so-called bayonets to equip the soldiers of four of the battalions. The purpose is to be able to show his face in front of Yongzheng today.

After the soldiers of the first bid completed their training, they also began to congratulate the emperor in unison, but it made Yongzheng feel excited in his heart. It seemed that something was flowing through his chest, which completely ignited his inner excitement.

In the next hour or so, both the artillery team and the cavalry team showed their brilliance to Yongzheng respectively. Whether their weapons or equipment, they brought enough confidence to Yongzheng, so that they completely strengthened him. heart.

"I want to conquer myself! I want to lead troops to Shandong to defeat Chu Ni!"

After returning to the Hall of Mental Cultivation from the Xishan Camp, Yongzheng couldn't wait to summon the military ministers who had just gone together, and announced his decision to them.

Did Yongzheng ever go to war?No.

But these people who have never been on the battlefield always think that fighting is a simple matter. They even secretly think in their hearts that even a yellow-haired boy like Ning Yu can be a god of war. Isn't a victory within reach?
Although Yongzheng's real purpose was to solve the crisis in front of him, it was not uncommon for him to have such thoughts in his heart. In other words, after he saw the strength of the Eight Banners New Army, he completely lost confidence in the frontline soldiers and wanted to Turn it all around yourself.

The ministers of the Military Aircraft Department couldn't help but look at each other when they heard Yongzheng's words, but they also knew that this move was a crime against the emperor, so they knelt down immediately, but said nothing. Only Xu Yuanmeng bit the bullet and began to think of a way to While dissuading Yongzheng, try not to arouse his inner sensitivity.

"Your Majesty, Chu Nibei invaded Shandong, and now he is aggressively attacking. Perhaps we only need to send a general to gather Shandong's troops, or we can block it, and we must not put the Emperor in danger!"

While talking, Xu Yuanmeng peeked at Yongzheng's reaction, but just happened to see the other person's cold face, and immediately felt a thrill in his heart, and hurriedly pulled Zhang Tingyu's sleeve beside him.

There was a wry smile on Zhang Tingyu's face, of course he understood what Xu Yuanmeng meant, and he was nothing more than asking him to say something to dissuade Yongzheng from marching in person.

But the problem is that Zhang Tingyu knows Yongzheng well. If the other party has not made a decision, he may still adopt his own opinion. But when Yongzheng really made up his mind, even nine horses can't be pulled back. How to dissuade him?
"Report to the emperor, and the servant will start to play."

"If you all want to dissuade me, then there is no need to continue to say more. This battle has been decided, and no one can change it."

There was a trace of coldness on Yongzheng's face, as if he didn't want to continue the spat with the ministers.

A wry smile flashed across Zhang Tingyu's face, and he could only say in a low voice: "The emperor's personal conquest, the slaves have never dared to stop them a little bit since they became saddle horses, but I just ask the emperor to know that there is news from the south today that the number of merchant ships going to sea in the south has dropped sharply. A large number of ships have been requisitioned by Ning Chu, and I can only see that Ning Chu is not only the two armies on the surface, but may have other big moves."

In fact, all the people present are those quick-witted talents who can make inferences. Through this news, almost everyone can conclude that Ningchu's merchant ships will not decrease for no reason. There is only one reason. In addition, there is another army that will attack Tianjin or Manchuria by sea, and there is a high probability that it will be Tianjin.

Yongzheng's face darkened in an instant, and he didn't know whether it was because of Zhang Tingyu or Ning Chu. He forced a smile on his face, "What Hengchen said is not unreasonable, let me think about it again."

The so-called rethinking means that the personal conquest has come to an end. However, when Yongzheng was completely misfired, the rain basically stopped completely, and the scorching sun resumed. This also means that once Ningchu's attack resumed Expanded.
In late August, the First Group Army of the Fu-Han Army swept across Shandong, and occupied Caozhou Mansion and Dongchang Mansion one after another, and began to threaten Li Wei's Tai'an Mansion, until Qingzhou Mansion was captured by the Fu-Han Army from Yizhou Mansion After that, Terengganu and Laizhou also completely chose to surrender.

At this point, Tai'an Mansion has almost become the target of public criticism. Li Wei also felt the undercurrent in the army. At this time, the Qing army in Tai'an had as many as 5 people, of which [-] were taken from Jinan. The [-] Green Battalion and the other [-] were rout soldiers intercepted along the way.

5 people seem like a lot, but it has become almost impossible to defend Tai'an. After all, as long as a division of the Fuhan Army appears in Tai'an, it will be impossible for the Shandong Qing army to resist.

At this moment of crisis, Li Wei was also resisted by the generals in the army one after another, so he took the opportunity to step down and led everyone back to Jinan Mansion. However, at this point, the conflict between the two sides gradually became clear.

As far as Li Wei was concerned, the reason why he was able to seize power in the previous period was firstly relying on the emperor's letter, and secondly relying on killing people, but now the emperor's prestige is not so good, and it is not realistic to think about killing people. Therefore, in desperation, Li Wei had no choice but to communicate with Chen Shiguan again.

When Chen Shiguan arrived at the governor's office, Li Wei had already drank four bowls of tea, but his expression became more composed, and he didn't show any hesitation. When he learned that Chen Shiguan had arrived at the door, he even It was to meet Chen Shiguan in person.

"Brother Bing, I really offended you when I left without telling you a few days ago. Today, I invited Brother Bing to come over to make amends."

Li Wei pulled Chen Shiguan's arm, but he called out very affectionately, while Chen Shiguan felt a little uncomfortable all over his body. He clearly remembered that Li Wei had a rough temper, and he rarely called his subordinates so politely. When we met in the previous episode, we were always addressed as 'Master Chen'.

"Your Excellency is really polite. The overall situation in Shandong is at stake. It all depends on Your Excellency to support it with his own strength. I am ashamed of myself." Chen Shiguan responded with a calm expression.

However, Li Wei had a smile on his face. He dragged Chen Shiguan to sit in the flower hall. In front of him were some home-cooked dishes and a jar of wine. He didn't know what flavor it was, but it smelled strange.

"When my younger brother came to Licheng, he had no time to have a banquet with brother Bing, but today he was able to make up for it."

Li Wei filled the wine glass in front of Chen Shiguan with sincerity, and then poured wine for himself again. Not to mention anything else, this gesture was very well done, and then he raised his glass and apologized: "No matter what Said, the former brother really felt sorry for brother Bing, if the rebel bandits can be put down in the future, the younger brother will make a big gift and make amends."

Seeing that Li Wei was able to achieve this level with the dignity of a governor, Chen Shiguan had to sigh, "If the subordinates continue to take Joe down, I'm afraid it will violate the sage's way of benevolence and forgiveness. You don't have to do it." to this point."

Seeing that Chen Shiguan had finally let go of his grievances, Li Wei could only smile wryly, "Everyone wants to be the official of the frontier, but Brother Bingzhi should understand that the position of governor of Shandong is probably at stake."

Now that Chen Shiguan has understood Li Wei's approach, he will not be deliberately sarcastic at this time, but sighed: "The two armies are attacking the Central Plains together. What's the point of defending Shandong? Don't we just guard in Henan and Shanxi?" Can it hold? Could Tianjin be able to hold it?"

Hearing what Chen Shiguan said, Li Wei put down his wine glass and said aggressively, "It seems that this important event in the world cannot be hidden from brother Bingzhi."

Chen Shiguan smiled wryly, "Just take a look at the mansion newspaper issued by the imperial court, and it's not difficult to analyze it. On Chu Niming's face, two armies attacked Shandong and Henan together, and then approached Zhili. A cold arrow is aiming at Tianjin and the capital, if the capital is empty, then this arrow will be directly nailed to Tianjin!"

Li Wei put down the wine glass in his hand, "Brother Bingzhi, what do you mean, the imperial court will not send reinforcements to Shandong?"

"That's right, the governor is dedicated to the court, and the lower officials naturally admire it. Therefore, even if the governor seizes the three armies and wants to go south to stabilize the front, the lower officials will not stop it a little bit. But the lower officials still want to say, the governor Everything the adults are doing now is just useless work."

With the sound of gurgling, the wine glass in front of Li Wei was brought to the ground for some reason, making a gurgling sound, and Li Wei's face was as pale as gray, although he never worried about his own safety , but when faced with being regarded as an abandoned child, he was somewhat desperate.

Chen Shiguan sighed deeply, "I'm afraid it's really hard to be an official in the Qing Dynasty."
