late Qing Dynasty arrest

Liu Songshan made a decision in public, using Huang Ding's strategy of using barbarians to control barbarians, and prepared to ask the imperial court to let Cui Wei do the Lingzhou tour, and let Lan Mingtai temporarily replace Yan'an to patrol the road, with the official rank of fourth-rank civil official.There is a world of difference between real vacancies and alternate officials. The official positions rewarded by the Surrender Sect are vain titles, and the annual salary of officials is given according to their official positions. However, when they were officials in the Qing Dynasty, their annual salary can be ignored.The gray income is several times, even dozens, or even hundreds of times the annual salary.

Of course, being an official in a war-torn area does not have much reward, but it will not be much worse in the future. The Qing court pays attention to fatness and fairness, and will not wrong those who are officials in poor places.Liu Songshan used these two moves, which marked that the leaders of the Dong Zhiyuan Uprising began to be reused by the Qing Dynasty. Not only in the military, but also in civil affairs, they began to rely on these national righteous men.

Then Liu Songshan drove away the gatekeepers, leaving only Xu Zhanbiao, Huang Ding, and Liu Jintang in the conference room, a total of four people. They discussed how to instigate the return army leader of Jinjibao. Recently, the Qing army slowed down its attack on Wuzhongbao. To attack is to wait for Nei Ying in the army to respond to the uprising in Tongxin City.

Huang Ding looked like he was holding his hands, and said: "Liu Junmen, I have already connected with the people in Tongxin City. Chen Daoqin has gained Yu Yanlu's trust, and the number of troops has increased to more than 2000. Now we only need to wait for Yu Yanlu to leave Tongxin City. , we must create conditions for Yu Yanlu to leave Tongxin City early. According to reliable sources, Ma Hualong invited Bai Yanhu, Ha Lianjin and others to hold a military meeting in Yongning Cave, and Yu Yanlu was also invited. As long as he leaves, Tongxin City will be Ours is over, our army has occupied Tongxin City, Wuzhong Fort is at your fingertips, within three days, the returning army of Wuzhong Fort will definitely abandon it, and we can intercept it halfway."

Liu Jintang asked suspiciously: "Master Zodiac, what if the returning army did not abandon Wuzhong Fort?"

Xu Zhanbiao laughed and said: "That's not easy, let Guo Dazui close the door and beat the dog, he has a way of fighting tough battles, you kid learn a little bit, what is efficiency first."

Huang Ding raised his eyes and said: "Liu Junmen, you Hunan Army should also change. Don't be stubborn and fight people desperately. A veteran is the treasure of an army. If you prepare well before the battle, you can save many veterans from dying."

"But Marshal Zuo, hurry up!" Liu Songshan tried to find a reason, trying to find an excuse for the Hunan Army's preference for hand-to-hand combat.

"Don't talk about Commander Zuo, shut up Commander Zuo. I have attended the military meeting. Commander Zuo asked our army to take down Dong Zhiyuan before November. How many months is it now? Don't just because our army wins quickly in the front, you want to do it later." Compared with Xu Zhentai, the battle should be resolved quickly in Jinji Fort. I know that the Hunan Army can fight, but you have to think about future wars. I still say that this is a civil war, and returning to the army is by no means monolithic , trying every means to make the Hui army mess up and weaken Ma Hualong's strength little by little, and finally someone will rush to send the heads of Ma Hualong and Ma Yaobang." Huang Ding's tone was not good, and he did not show respect to Liu Songshan. After more than ten years of fighting, they are already friends of life and death, and they have no scruples in speaking.Some people even participated in persuading Zeng Guofan to rebel, and they were not loyal to the Qing Dynasty to the end.

Liu Jintang smiled slightly and said, "Then I'd like to see what moves Guo Dazui has learned now. Efficiency is the priority. It's easy to say, but difficult to do. The soldiers assigned to us by Commander Zuo are all for three months." The new recruits can't even pull the bolt of the gun smoothly, so there's no efficiency."

"Learn to fight on the battlefield. Everyone wants to survive. Guo Dazui's soldiers are willing to learn. Why can't you Hunan Army? The soldiers learn quickly in order to survive. Guo Dazui squandered money, sharpshooters emerged in endlessly, and immediately achieved great results. What is efficiency? How many troops are used, how many explosives, how many shells, how many enemies are killed on the battlefield, all can be turned into numbers, let the numbers speak for themselves, and can best reflect the efficiency of an army. Xu Zhanbiao taught Liu Jintang that the Qing army had no shortage of death squads, and with the order of the army, the soldiers regarded death as home.But as a commander, he must also be responsible for the soldiers, and try his best to let the soldiers walk off the battlefield alive.

Liu Songshan said with a smile: "Schoolboys should look at each other with admiration for three days. You two have become treacherous after singing together. You are calculating like a businessman. Then help me calculate, when will Commander Zuo win Lingzhou City?"

"Liu Junmen, does that still count? Returning to the army to get a ticket and fleeing long ago. Lingzhou City has been burned to ruins by Huizi. Commander Zuo can only do the aftermath. You think I am stupid!" Xu Zhanbiao sighed slightly, put his hands behind his back in front of the model of Jinji Fort, and kept going around in circles. Soldiers just like to look at maps, and they can look at them for a day if they have nothing to do.

The four of them were discussing the matter of returning to the army. They were secretly having fun, and they were clapping their hands happily to celebrate each other. The battle situation was completely under control, and the victory of the Qing army was in sight.

Suddenly, Ma came to report, and there was a shocking news that Gao Liansheng's troops of the Chu army in the Yan'an area rebelled.

The faces of the four people were pale, and they were speechless for a while. No wonder the food and grass were not available. It turned out that Lei Heng, the battalion officer of the supply camp, led the members of the Brotherhood to rebel.

Liu Songshan asked anxiously: "Did Yang Dawazi and Mu San rebel?"

"Yes! After hearing the news, the two battalions of Yang Dawazi and Mu San also followed suit."

"These bastards, I'm going to cut them alive!" Liu Songshan's eyes were red, he swept everything in front of him, and threw the model on the table to the ground, leaving the conference room in a mess.

"Does Marshal Zuo know?" Xu Zhanbiao was sweating profusely. If the more than 200 million catties of grain and grass stored in Yan'an were gone, the 4 Qing troops and 1 civilians in front would immediately riot.

"Marshal Zuo should know the news a day earlier than here." Tan Ma lowered his head and replied, not daring to look up at the faces of the four generals, ready to be kicked at any time.

In desperation, Liu Songshan ordered: "Liu Jintang, I order you to lead two battalions of cavalry to set off immediately, and act cheaply. Huang Ding led four battalions to follow up, and then sent an order to Guo Baochang to lead four battalions of cavalry to follow closely behind. "

Huang Ding saw that Liu Songshan was in disarray, how could he send all the cavalry out?The cavalry cannot fight tough battles, so it is necessary to mobilize the army in an orderly manner, and said: "Liu Jintang, you lead the two battalions of cavalry to go first. We will have a meeting to study countermeasures. You have to be quick, don't think about other consequences, I will follow behind in."

"Yes! I'm leaving now." Liu Jintang didn't lose his mind, and took a command arrow from the bamboo tube on the table.Then he sat down and wrote a military order, asking Liu Songshan to put a big red seal on it, and then left the meeting room. [

Xu Zhanbiao had tears in his eyes, but he still had a clear thought, sobbing: "Liu Junmen, you can't raise your account now, and you have to hide this from the frontline soldiers. Marshal Zuo will also send troops to Yan'an. I think Huang Ding will be mobilized." Four cavalry battalions are enough, and other troops should mobilize six infantry battalions and artillery battalions of the Hunan Army."

Liu Songshan was just acting impulsively. After recovering, he had a new idea and began to write military orders.

(This is a real historical event. Yan'an is a good place to fight guerrillas. The elder brother will rebel and fell in love with Yan'an. It can be said that the hero sees the same thing. It is a pity that he met Li Guolou.)

Xu Zhanbiao suddenly asked: "Member Zodiac, isn't that battalion officer in Li Ziying, Battelle, suppressing bandits in Yan'an? He should be the one who got the news. Will something happen?"

Huang Ding's complexion changed, and he beat the case angrily, scolding: "Li Guolou is uneasy and kind, he should have seen the hidden dangers of our army, that's why he let Battelle wander around Yan'an, in fact, he wanted to protect our army Dao. The brat didn't tell me!"

"Really!" Liu Songshan and Xu Zhanbiao stared at Huang Ding in unison, their ugly faces showing surprise.

"Yes, it must be like this. To be honest, it was this kid who gave me the idea of ​​using Cui Wei and Lan Mingtai just now. Even the matter of returning to the army as an internal response was also the idea he gave me. This kid is The god catcher is the best at finding loopholes, and he also discovered the loopholes in our army. Hey! I don’t know what to say to him, why didn’t you tell me?” Huang Ding sighed, feeling faintly in his heart that this crisis could still be saved. To save the situation, as long as Li Guolou mobilized the troops of Li Ziying, relying on excellent equipment and efficiency-oriented military philosophy, he could completely wipe out [-] rebels.

"That boy, is he so magical?" Liu Songshan was full of expectations. If the supply line of the Qing army was cut off and the more than 200 million catties of grain and grass stored in Yan'an were destroyed, this year's war would not be possible. The Qing army could only retreat to Dong Zhiyuan, and a small group of Qing troops stood firm in Lingzhou.

"Hurry up! Otherwise, Lei Heng, Yang Dawazi, and Mu San will immediately expand their number to [-] horses. We have to compete with the rebels for time, otherwise we will be poor." Xu Zhanbiao seemed to have seen the most terrifying scene. The rebels opened their warehouses Release grain and recruit troops in the Yan'an area.The supply battalion transported not only food and grass, but also weapons and medicines. Gao Liansheng's troops rebelled and dealt a fatal blow to the Qing army, and time became the biggest enemy of the Qing army.

"Well, I believe that Zhao Zilong of the Qing Dynasty is as courageous as anyone else, and now we can only rely on him. You can trust my vision, it must be like this." Huang Ding looked to the south with piercing eyes, hoping that Li Guolou could lead the way. Good news for the Qing army.

"Li Guolou, Zhao Zilong." This time Liu Songshan didn't let out a shameful laugh, but was extremely serious, and what he heard was false. He hoped that Li Guolou could save face for the Qing army this time. where?Looking through the military newspapers of Li Ziying from the documents, at least one must first find the general location of Li Ziying, so as to issue combat orders.

"Don't look for Liu Jun's family. Battelle should be in Wanhuashan Township. The last time the military report said that more than 100 bandits were wiped out, but now I don't know. I still send someone to pass the order." After that, I have a little impression.

"Then has Li Guolou left Dong Zhiyuan?" Liu Songshan raised his head and asked.

Xu Zhanbiao nodded slightly and said: "He will give me my face. Li Guolou should be on the way. He has cannons and grenades. The rebels will not mess with him. He recruited Yang Dawazi and Mu San. Hey "

Xu Zhanbiao couldn't go on talking, and Li Guolou also recognized people as dishonest, and the members of the Gelaohui, who had harmed the Qing Dynasty, rebelled again.This time Li Guolou also wants to eat hanging noodles, don't even think about being knighted.

"I think Yang Dawazi and Mu San may be pretending to rebel, wanting to eliminate Lei Heng's troops, and make new achievements. Xu Zhentai, don't rush to conclusions, let's see and talk." Huang Ding took the military order and left the meeting room, it was pouring rain outside.Huang Ding took the coir raincoat that Geshha handed over, and walked towards the barracks, anxious, hoping that the rebels would also be caught by the heavy rain and give Li Guolou a rainbow.

In the conference room, Liu Songshan raised his head and asked, "Is it possible?"

"Oh! It might be a god. I want to beat Li Guolou to death with a whip. Why didn't you tell me why I used such a despicable strategy." Xu Zhanbiao didn't know what to say, hoping that it was possible, and told him in his heart no way.

Liu Songshan wrote down the military order, stamped it with a big seal, and regained his forward spirit.What is this setback?The Qing army was indomitable and overcame even the greatest difficulties. The old Hunan army was an iron army that could not be defeated. The team that was still advancing despite the heavy rain must be the cavalry battalion of the Hunan army led by Liu Jintang.
