The room goes through the late Ming Dynasty, and the back door leads to North America at the beginni

Beijing.

Outside the Forbidden City, there is the Yamen of the Ministry of War.

Zhang Fuzhen, the governor of Northern Zhili, Zhou Yuji, the commander of the Beijing Garrison Division, Huang Jie, the commander of the Shengjie Guard Division, and Bai Yu, the military and political officer of the Shengjie Guard Division, were all present.

In addition, there are several brigade commanders from the Beijing Garrison Division and the Independent Brigade, and several brigade-level generals from the Guards.

Although there were many people, the person sitting in the main seat was Huang Jie, the commander of Shengjie Guard.

Since Liu Sheng left Beijing, Huang Jie has taken the position of commander of the Shengjie Guard as the top general of the Beijing Guards, and even held the seal of General Dingbei!

The Inca rank system of Da'ei's generals is in the same vein as that of the previous Ming Dynasty. From high to low, they are: Zheng, Zhen, Ding, Ping!

Further up, there are the titles of general, marshal, and grand marshal. Damei has not yet appeared.

In the previous North Zhili, three generals were awarded the title of general.

Peng Youyi, commander of the Second Division of the Standing Army, bears the seal of Zhenbei General.

Huang Jie, commander of the Guards Division of the Victory Guard Army, was awarded the seal of General Dingbei.

Yuan Shizhong, commander of the Sixth Division of the Standing Army, bears the seal of General Pinglu.

It can be said that Huang Jie is one of the senior generals with the second loudest voice in North Zhili.

Now that Peng Youyi has led the Second Division and other troops to invade Shanxi, Huang Jie has become the highest-ranking general in Beizhili.

Seeing that all the brigade-level generals had arrived, Huang Jie stood up and said: "A telegram came from Nanjing. Our army has broken Tongguan and the capture of Xi'an is just around the corner.

The Second Division of the Standing Army also captured Ningwuguan and Yanmenguan, and marched into Taiyuan Prefecture.

If the Qing captives want to invade, as long as they are well-informed, they are likely to choose the next few days. Therefore, you must be prepared to face the Qinglu. "

inside the hall.

Whether it was former Ming military generals such as Zhou Yuji or Zhang Fuzhen, a former Ming civil servant, there was nothing strange after hearing Huang Jie's words.

They had already seen the magic of the telegraph machine.

Therefore, I firmly believe that Liu Sheng and the Dawei he established are the destiny.

The hypocrites and Qing captives will definitely be wiped out by the Yi army.

When Huang Jie said that he was going to fight Qinglu, no one was afraid, but they all became excited.

Because having a battle to fight means having the opportunity to make meritorious deeds.

After the two battles between Beizhili and the Qing Dynasty the year before last, there is now a saying circulating among the Yi army - the most important thing is to destroy the Qing Dynasty!
This can be seen from Liu Sheng's promotion and awards to generals such as Yuan Shizhong and Zhang Xin.

Therefore, generals soon stood up one after another and asked for battle.

"General, please take the lead in this battle!"

But it was Gao Wengui, the commander of the First Brigade of the Knights Cavalry.

Ai Nengqi, commander of the Beijing Garrison Independent Cavalry Brigade, also stood up and clasped his fists, saying: "Our independent cavalry brigade can also be the vanguard for this!"

Although Ai Nengqi is younger than Gao Wengui, and his position and qualifications in the army are inferior to Gao Wengui, he is not very convinced by Gao Wengui.

In the past, he and Li Dingguo were the four adopted sons in Zhang Xianzhong's army. At that time, Gao Wengui was just the captain of Li Dingguo's retinue.

Only because he followed Li Dingguo and joined the Yi army first, his rank was higher than his.

Now both of them command a brigade of cavalry. Even though the quality and equipment of the guard brigade are not as good as those of the cavalry guards, he still hopes to prove through a battle that he is better than Gao Wengui.

After the two, other brigade-level generals also asked for battle.

Huang Jie coughed, signaled the generals to be quiet, and said: "If we want to better fight against the Qing Lu, it's best to figure out where the Qing Lu invaded from.

You have all read the current military intelligence inside and outside the customs. Let’s discuss this, right? "Everyone brainstormed and speculated on several passes that were most likely to be chosen by the Qing captives.

One is Xifengkou.

This pass is in Yongping Prefecture, north of the original Jizhou Town of the Ming Dynasty. It is now guarded by the Sixth Division of the Standing Army.

The second is Gubeikou.

This pass is north of Miyun County and northeast of Beijing. It is now guarded by the First Independent Brigade of the Beijing Guard.

Finally, there is the Xuanfu side wall.

After the Second Division of the Standing Army left, Xuanfu was guarded by the Beijing Garrison Division. The Garrison Division was not only responsible for guarding the passes of Xuanfu, but also shouldered the important task of guarding the logistics transportation lines.

It can be said that the main units of the Yi Army in the North Zhili region, such as the Sixth Division of the Standing Army, the Beijing Garrison Division and the three independent garrison brigades, all have the task of garrisoning the area.

Only the First Cavalry Brigade and the Beijing Independent Cavalry Brigade can be mobilized flexibly.

Of course, if the movements of the Qing captives are confirmed, the Yi troops stationed in various places can also be mobilized.

Because most cities and passes can be defended by one battalion or one regiment of the Yi army. Not to mention, the civilian brave troops in various places now also have certain combat effectiveness.

After another discussion, the generals felt that the Qing captives were most likely to choose to invade from Xuanfu this time.

Because Shuntian Prefecture is where Beijing is located, the Qing captives must have guessed that the Yi army had heavy troops in Shuntian Prefecture.

As for Yongping Mansion, the Sixth Division of the Standing Army was not easy to fight, and they couldn't grab much if they came in. Since the winter of the year before last, most of the remaining people in Yongping Mansion had been moved to Shuntian Mansion. Qinglu has a lot of spies in the pass, so he must be aware of this situation.

In comparison, the border wall of Xuan Mansion is extremely long, and even if there is a guard division stationed there, it is difficult to take full care of it.

Moreover, the Beijing Garrison Division was stationed only this spring. In theory, it is not that familiar with the local terrain and other conditions.

In addition, if the Qing captives could break into the Xuan Mansion, they would not only be able to rob the people, but also have the opportunity to attack the Yi army's logistics and transportation team.

In other words, in the eyes of the Qing captives, the Yi army's logistics transport team was a better target for robbery.

Not to mention the people of Xuanfu, even those who stayed there were mostly reduced to poverty in the wars.

And if you can seize the Yi army's logistics and transportation team, you may not only seize food, but also weapons and equipment such as guns and ammunition.

One can imagine what Qinglu would choose.

Sure enough, on the afternoon of the second day after the military meeting, urgent military information came from the Xuanfu.

The Qing captives brought in bandits from Wafanggou and Longmen!

Almost all of the garrison battalion stationed at Longmen Station were killed in battle!
Huang Jie got the news, discussed it with Zhang Fuzhen, Zhou Yuji and others, and immediately mobilized the First Brigade of the Cavalry Guards and the Beijing Independent Cavalry Brigade to assist the Xuan Mansion!

···
"drive!"

Hauge led more than 3,000 cavalrymen and galloped southward!
Of course, this is not all the troops who entered the customs with him, they can only be regarded as the vanguard - among them are 2,080 banners of Mongolia, another 880 banners of Han troops, and then 580 banners of Manchuria.

And behind the cavalry team, there were nearly 30,000 infantry.

These infantrymen also fought under the Eight Banners flag, but in fact there were only more than 10,000 bannermen inside, and the rest were Bao Yi, Aha, and slaves.

Hauge led more than 3,000 cavalry to the south. He was not arrogant, but wanted to break through some of the former Ming Guards and other camps where the Yi army was stationed before the Yi army could react.

In order to speed up the troops, he even personally shouted and urged them.

"Let me run faster! Once the next Weijun camp is breached, we can reach a Han city. Once the city is breached, we can defend ourselves against the enemy for half a day!"

After hearing this, the Eight Banners soldiers suddenly became excited, and their speed was indeed faster.

The so-called prevention of robbery means allowing them to burn, kill, loot, and rape and humiliate women after breaking through the city. Even if it's only half a day, it's enough for them to have a good time. (End of chapter)
