This Qing is wrong

Chapter 233 Tang Qing Decisive Battle
"Your Majesty, drastic changes have taken place in the continent of Europa!

The Kingdom of France was controlled by a man named Patton. He formed an Allied Parliament and held the supreme power of the Kingdom of France. Patton's people also controlled the taxation and army of the Kingdom of France.

With his people as the backbone, Patton changed the original tax team of the Kingdom of France and re-established the tax inspection team.

This is an armed force specializing in tax collection, and its combat effectiveness is no less than that of the regular army.

After the aristocratic coalition forces of the Kingdom of France were defeated, some people chose to submit to Patton, but more than two-thirds of the nobles of the Kingdom of France chose to flee.

Most of those who surrendered to Patton were minor nobles in France.

Under the instigation of these nobles in exile, countries in the Europa continent are preparing for an anti-French alliance.

Europe no longer has the energy to intervene in the Tang Empire's war. "

Luna reported the news to Li Changqing with joy.

"I didn't expect the puppet I put in to control France so quickly. From now on, I will pay close attention to the situation in the European continent at all costs. Once this Patton leads France to expand rapidly on the European continent, notify me immediately!"

Moon God suppressed the smile on the corner of his mouth, nodded solemnly and said, "I obey, Your Majesty."

"Since European countries no longer have the energy to intervene in the Indian battlefield, dispatch [-] Japanese mercenaries to the front line, take Lahore, and overthrow the Qing Dynasty in India."

The war between the Tang Empire and the Indian Qing Dynasty has lasted for a year.

After the surrender of the Han Eight Banners in Afghanistan and the fall of Kabul, the war entered a long war of attrition.

This is mainly because Emperor Kangxi realized that the core Eight Banners under his command were not reliable.

The surrender of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty sounded the alarm for Emperor Kangxi.

The Eight Banners under his command were all violently beaten by the Tang Empire, and there is a general fear of the Tang Dynasty. Except for the full Eight Banners, the other Eight Banners are unwilling to fight against the Tang Army.

At this time, if the Tang army wins over in private, it will easily disintegrate the power of the Qing army!
Therefore, Emperor Kangxi mixed the remaining Mongolian Eight Banners and Manchu Eight Banners together, transferred the middle and senior military officers from the Mongolian Eight Banners, and those who rushed into the Manchu Eight Banners took important positions in the army.

This is not changing a few dozens of positions, but changing the middle and high levels of the entire Mongolian Eight Banners army!
Meng Baqi Zuo led all the military positions to become Manchus.

Moreover, they were all Manchu nobles who followed Emperor Kangxi, not the Manchu Eight Banners transformed from those who were born in the Northeast and Jurchen.

In addition, the troops of the Manchu Eight Banners are also stationed together with the Mongolian Eight Banners to prevent the mutiny of "the lower conquers the upper" in the Mongolian Eight Banners.

This is not the only way Emperor Kangxi used to stabilize the morale of the army. He also scattered silver coins and used money to buy the hearts of the Eight Banners.

Moreover, it also recruited indigenous mercenaries in the controlled area.

Although Tianfang, Sikhism, and Hinduism have rebelled, this is only the overall situation, and not everyone is hostile to the Indian Qing Dynasty.

After Emperor Kangxi defeated Aurangzeb, he occupied the most fertile land in northwestern India and seized a large amount of gold and silver property.

Emperor Kangxi was not a miser. He took out all the gold and silver, and while buying the hearts of the Eight Banners, he recruited mercenaries from all sides in the controlled area.

Many of them were originally fighters of Huiba Banners, Yinba Banners and Sikh Green Battalion.

Of course, the current Indian Qing Dynasty has declined from the five major eight banners and one green battalion at its peak to two major eight banners.

The newly recruited mercenaries were reorganized by Emperor Kangxi into Tianfang Sect Green Camp, Hindu Green Camp and Sikh Green Camp according to their religious beliefs.

Under the rule of the Qing court, the Green Army actually meant an army that did not allocate land and paid for the army. This is actually the mercenary system in the Western world.

Of course, when the Qing court was still ruling in Han China, the green battalion military system also included a hereditary system, so it was fundamentally different from Western mercenaries.

Now Emperor Kangxi will naturally no longer engage in the hereditary system of the Green Camp, and he does not have so much time to implement it...

Therefore, the current green camp of the Qing court is no different from the mercenary system of Western civilization.

As for splitting the newly-built green battalion, which does not have a large number of people, into three parts, the main reason is that in the land of northwest India, there are too many religious conflicts among the three parties. If they are incorporated into one army, serious internal conflicts will easily break out.

Emperor Kangxi, who had stayed in northwest India for several years, had already dealt with the religious issues in this land of northwest India, so he would not make such a mistake.

After some reorganization, after the Afghan region was annexed and digested by the Expeditionary Force of the Tang Empire, the Indian Qing Dynasty had regained its foothold. Although there were still many corners and corners occupied by Indian indigenous forces, the territory controlled by the Qing court Centralization has been done.

And the Qing army also completed the expansion of the newly built green battalion.

Subsequently, the two sides launched a fierce and protracted war of attrition.

The Tang army mainly attacked, and the Qing army defended the city. They used the cavalry from the Eight Banners of Manchuria as a mobile force to harass the Tang army's rear, making it impossible for the huge Tang army to clench their fists together and attack the city.

The Tang army responsible for the offensive was mainly the private armed forces of the governors and warlords of all parties, and the new attached army that had been changed after surrendering, that is, the original Qing Ting and Han Eight Banners armed forces.

These armed forces have a large number of people, but their will to fight is very average.

As for the real core force of the Tang army, that is, the system army directly under Li Changqing and the Japanese mercenaries, they have been establishing the Tang system on the newly conquered land in the rear.

The way Li Changqing established his ruling foundation was no different from that of the Western Regions.

Cities and transportation points were directly administered by the central government and ruled by a bureaucratic system, while other areas were entrusted to meritorious Japanese samurai.

These Japanese samurai will have a certain number of soldiers to recruit samurai attendants to help the Japanese samurai be responsible for the security of the fief.

At the same time, Japanese samurai can also bring their own samurai attendants into battle.

This is like a small feudal lord.

Thanks to these Japanese samurai who were professional hackers, Li Changqing quickly gained a firm foothold in the foreign land.

Since the war with the Qing Dynasty in India has not stopped, Li Changqing adopted a policy of religious tolerance and did not cleanse the religions in Central Asia.

In addition, under the hint of Li Changqing, the Tang Empire continued to fire on those tribal forces in Central Asia and Afghanistan who surrendered, letting them burn and consume them unscrupulously.

The bureaucrats controlled important nodes, the Japanese samurai enfeoffed places, and the civil wars between the original indigenous feudal lords were provoked. These three axes made the rule of the Tang Empire in Central Asia as stable as Mount Tai.

However, the battle on the front line was unsatisfactory.

After a year of bloody battle, the Tang army captured very few Indian cities, but their own losses were not small.

Even the governor warlord was killed!

In an ambush, Shang Zhixin was decapitated by the Manchurian Eight Banners cavalry. He was the only governor-general of the Tang Kingdom who died before the battle.

However, the other governors and generals did not get any good results.

Burni was defeated one after another and ran away. The Mongolian cavalry under his command did not play any role at all. After losing five consecutive battles, he was arrested by Li Changqing and took the lead in public.

Became the only governor-general executed for defeat in this war.

The remnant soldiers under his command were pulled to the rear and reorganized.

The remaining governors and generals have all lost battles.

Geng Jingzhong failed to attack the city twice in a row, and his subordinates suffered heavy losses. Then Li Changqing relieved all military power, conferred an empty title, and sent him back to the mainland of the Tang Empire to become a rich man.

The remaining soldiers were also pulled to the rear to reorganize.

Geng Jingzhong didn't leave alone. His cronies and relatives and friends who served in the military were all taken out.

Obviously, it was Li Changqing who was trying to eliminate Geng Jingzhong's feudal forces.

King Jinlun Fawang's Tibetan army lost three battles and was dismissed from his post. All high-ranking generals, including King Jinlun Fawang himself, were all repatriated to the snow-covered plateau.

The remnants of the Tibetan army were transferred to the rear for reorganization.

Qiu Hui lost a battle and saw that the governors and generals either died or were relieved of their military power. He voluntarily surrendered his military power, coupled with his status as a foreign relative, he got a hereditary title and returned to the Great Tang Empire to enjoy the blessings.

However, among these governor warlords, Qiu Hui did not end up the best.

Because Li Ergou, the governor warlord, was not relieved of his military power.

It's not that Li Changqing was extra merciful to this governor warlord with the same surname as himself, but that Li Ergou didn't even have a big defeat, and the army under his command was relatively well preserved. Li Changqing had no reason to remove Li Ergou's military power.

In addition, there is only Li Ergou, the governor-general warlord left on the front line, and the rest of the army, including the new affiliated army reorganized from the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, has been under the jurisdiction of the central government of the Tang Empire. Li Ergou can't make waves at all. It has always retained its own military power.

It can be seen from this that the reason why the Tang army and the Qing army have fought for more than a year and have not yet decided the outcome is that the Tang army has more defeats than victories...

However, in the Great Tang Empire, all the officials believed that it was Li Changqing, the Emperor of the Great Tang Empire, who used a knife to kill people.

Even many generals of the Qing army thought so.

Of course, this killing with a borrowed knife was just done by Li Changqing. The Tang army's governors and warlords didn't save their strength at all, otherwise they wouldn't have lost so much.

After all, Li Changqing gave the order to die, and if he failed to complete the mission, even if he did not lose the battle, he would be severely punished.

Li Ergou didn't know if he was lucky. Although he didn't win many battles, he completed the task targets assigned by Li Changqing very well.

It was also Li Ergou's military posture as stable as Mount Tai that prevented the Tang army's front from being completely collapsed.

In the 12th year of Wuwei, the Tang Army transferred Li Ergou's troops and the new attached army, which were exhausted from the front line, to the rear. Li Changqing once again led a personal expedition, bringing a large number of system legions and Japanese mercenaries into the front line.

The new attached army transferred to the rear was mixed with the remnants of the warlords that were previously incorporated, and reorganized into an expeditionary force directly under the Datang.

Among them, the old and weak were eliminated as the Central Asian local garrison.

Of course, these matters are not what Li Changqing needs to worry about.

After Li Changqing arrived at the front line, the Qing army's Tang phobia had been alleviated a lot due to more than a year of fighting, so there was no situation where the enemy broke up.

However, after Li Changqing dispatched the Yin soldiers of the Qin Dynasty to attack the city, the Qing army was completely defeated!
The Yin soldiers of the Qin Dynasty relied on virtual physique, and completely ignored the long-range firepower of the Qing army's defenders when they built the siege ladder.

After all the siege equipment was put in place, the Yin soldiers of the Qin Dynasty went directly to the city and poured into the city. After all the Yin soldiers entered the city, they suddenly turned into ghost bodies and attacked the Qing army who was close at hand.

Not surprisingly, the Yin soldiers of the Qin Dynasty relied on this trick to take down a castle guarded by tens of thousands of Qing troops with zero battle damage!
After the news of the siege battle this time spread, the upper echelons of the Qing army turned pale with fright. No matter how they analyzed it, they could not find a strategy to deal with it.

Because the Qing army did not understand why those soldiers wearing the armor of the Qin Dynasty could not be attacked but could climb the siege ladder like living people...

But in melee combat, it can be attacked...

In this way, city defense is completely meaningless to these Yin soldiers of the Qin Dynasty.

The complex terrain in the city is more conducive to the sneak attack and assassination of those Yin soldiers of the Qin Dynasty!

It was based on this that the Qing army defending the city had no chance to fight back.

Of course, the fact that the Qing army defending the city didn't even kill a single Qin Chaoyin soldier had a lot to do with them being frightened by the ghosts of the Qin Dynasty Yin soldiers.

After Emperor Kangxi learned of this news, he had no choice but to withdraw the defenders who were stationed in each city to prevent them from being defeated one by one by the Yin soldiers of the Qin Dynasty.

Li Changqing easily pushed outside the capital city of Lahore.

Here, Emperor Kangxi gathered all the main forces of the Qing army and planned to fight the Tang army in the field.

Why did Emperor Kangxi suddenly have the courage to fight the demon Li Changqing?
Naturally, this was because Li Changqing did not launch a war puppet once after the imperial conquest, which aroused Emperor Kangxi's suspicion.

During the Tang army's attack, Emperor Kangxi used a small group of Manchurian cavalry to conduct tentative harassment several times, and found that the Tang army no longer showed signs of war puppets, which made Emperor Kangxi more confident in his inner guess.

Later, Emperor Kangxi gathered the main force of the Qing army in the Lahore area for more than half a month, but still did not wait for the demon puppet from the sky, so Emperor Kangxi made up his mind to fight Li Changqing in the wild.

Emperor Kangxi was actually betting that Li Changqing's ability to cast war puppets had changed.

Otherwise, Li Changqing, the demon Daoist, can use the more convenient method of launching war puppets, without sending a single soldier to flatten the Indian Qing Dynasty.

It's just like the orc army that split India's Qing dynasty.

Obviously there are more convenient means of warfare, but they have to fight all the way in the way of conventional warfare. This is the reason why Emperor Kangxi dared to gamble his life to fight the demon Li Changqing in the wild.

Of course, the powerful means of attacking the city by the Yin soldiers of the Qin Dynasty also forced Emperor Kangxi into a situation where he had to gamble.

Emperor Kangxi has no way out...

Outside Lahore, the decisive battle to determine the dominance of Northwest India officially began.

The Tang army mainly included Li Changqing's Guards Corps, Orc Corps, Yin Soldiers Corps, and Japanese mercenaries, totaling 9 people.

Because a large number of Japanese samurai were entrusted in the Western Regions and Central Asia, the number of Japanese mercenaries has been greatly reduced compared to when they set off from the snowy plateau.

Although the Qing army on the opposite side has the two Eight Banners of Manchuria and Mongolia, after a long period of war consumption, the number of Manchurian Eight Banners has already dropped to 32 at its peak. Now with the Qing court's new Green Battalion, the total strength is only 28.

The strength of the Qing army is three times that of the Tang army!
