June 28th of the first year of Dalong Taiping.
When the two generals Ye Baotong and Ning Chao, who were in charge of the troops and horses, received a message from Liu Mingzhi, the troops and horses of the enemy, Baolu, Pagoda, and Ruishi received orders from the two generals.
The soldiers of four of the Six Guards of the New Army all engaged in fierce and fierce battles of varying sizes with the soldiers of the Six Guards of Northern Xinjiang.
The soldiers of Fengying, commander of the Polu Army of the Sixth Guards of the New Army, fought fiercely for a day with the soldiers of the Xiaoyong Battalion of the Flying Eagle Guards on the official road of Fenglin Town.
The 4,000 soldiers of the Flying Eagle Guard's brave battalion rushed down to the last man, and all of them died in Fenglin Guandao, and no one survived.
The soldiers of the New Army's Six Guards' trapped Wei camp fought fiercely with 3,000 soldiers and horses of the Huben Army's Huxiao Battalion at Fenglei Stream, an important official road leading from Yunzhou to the capital.
The casualties were heavy.
The Xuanhe Camp of the Rui Shi Army had a fierce battle in Luoxian Gorge, an important official road leading from Suzhou to the capital, resulting in many casualties.
On the official roads leading from other state capitals to the capital, fierce battles between the two armies took place.
Situations like the death of all officers and soldiers of the Flying Eagle Guards' Yongying Battalion on the main route to Beijing became commonplace for a time.
The elite troops of the Six Guards of the New Army and the Six Guards of Northern Xinjiang collided with each other, and the result was tragic.
The soldiers and horses on both sides are under military orders, and there is almost no room for relaxation.
The only solution is to kill.
In just two or three days, battles broke out one after another on the official road to Beijing, directly resulting in the death of more than 26,000 people in the Six Guards of the New Army and the Six Guards of Northern Xinjiang.
There were countless serious injuries.
Outside Yingzhou City, in the tent of the commander of the Sixth Guards Camp of the New Army.
Liu Mingzhi held the battle reports passed by the generals everywhere, his face so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip from his face.
The group of generals in the big tent were all silent, not daring to take a breath.
They seemed to have felt the suppressed anger in Liu Mingzhi's heart that had not burst out.
While a group of generals were thinking about each other, Liu Mingzhi grabbed the battle report in his hand and on the desk and threw it to the ground. He raised his foot and kicked the desk in front of him to the ground.
“In less than three days, more than 26,000 people from both sides were killed in direct combat.
There are more than 26,000 people, more than 26,000 people.
In the three Northern Expeditions, the number of casualties in the life-and-death battle with the elite enemy forces of the two countries was only one month!
Just gone, just gone! "
Song Qing looked at Liu Mingzhi who seemed to be in a daze. He picked up the scattered documents on the ground with a low expression, raised his hand to lift the desk that had fallen to the ground, and put the pile of documents back to their original position.
"Commander, please calm down. The soldiers and horses on both sides are under military orders. Each of them is following an order. It is inevitable that a fierce battle will occur.
The Commander-in-Chief's order was delivered in time, and Commander-in-Chief Yun's final order was delivered to the soldiers of the Sixth Guards of Northern Xinjiang in time. The battle was stopped in time and did not lead to a catastrophic disaster. It was a blessing among misfortunes.
Commander, please calm down and express condolences to the brothers! "
"Commander, please calm down and show condolences to your brothers!"
Liu Mingzhi looked around at the generals of the various guard camps in the tent with complicated eyes, and forcibly controlled the depressed emotions in his heart.
“Sorry, sorry.
My condolences! My condolences!
Song Qing! "
"The general is here!"
"Send a message to the other five generals of the six northern border guards except Nangong Ye, the general of the Flying Eagle Guard.
On July 15th, I held a wine banquet at Ma Mingpo, west of Yingzhou City, and invited all the generals, big and small, under the six generals of Northern Xinjiang to discuss how to quell the chaos in Dalong!
All generals, please give me a warm welcome and be sure to show up! "
"Got the order!"
"Tang Ru!"
"The general is here!"
"Have you compiled the rosters of the damaged soldiers in each department?"
"Reporting back to the commander, we have sorted it out. Among them, the most casualties were the Polu Army Commander Feng Ying and the two infantry horses of the Rui Shi Army Hushan Camp.
They were at Fenglin Official Road, Luoxian Gorge, and the two cavalry units of Feiying Guard's Heroic Camp and Huxiang Guard's Shanlin Camp had a fierce and fierce battle.
The damage situation is almost the same.
The Feiying Guards' brave battalion of 4,000 iron cavalry and the Tiger Guards' 4,000 mountain forest camp infantry cavalry combined with the soldiers were completely wiped out in two important official areas.
At the end of the day, a letter was sent to the two battalion generals to learn the details.
It was nothing more than that the cavalry was very fast and far surpassed the rest of the soldiers and horses. They encountered the soldiers and horses above our defensive official road and a fierce battle broke out.
After the orders from our department and Commander Yun’s department are received, it has already...already..."
"Oh...you don't need to say any more, I understand!"
"yes!"
"You yourself know how to deal with the pension issue, so I won't nag you again.
Let the brothers’ spirits in heaven rest in peace! "
"The general understands. Please rest assured, commander. After the general retires, he will immediately convene the generals of each department to carefully discuss the compensation for the casualties of the brothers in each department."
"That's good! Cheng Kai, Zhou Baoyu!"
"I'm waiting!"
"Have all the wars ended now? Could there be any chaos beyond our control?"
"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, according to the reports from the scouts, the war in all the ministries has ended, and the war has ended without affecting the nearby people. Now the generals in the ministries are commanding the troops and horses to prepare for the post-war affairs."
"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, our scouts reported the same situation. Now the war has calmed down and has not spread to the people.
Now we are still dealing with post-war matters.
only......"
"Just what?"
Zhou Baoyu hesitated for a moment, then took out a stack of notes from his wristband and handed it to the table in front of Liu Mingzhi.
"Commander, this is the battle situation reported by the various generals under the general's command.
Although all the battles to prevent the enemy from entering Beijing ended in victory.
However, the brothers' fear of war is now high, and some timid thoughts are more or less born in their hearts.
The feeling of beheading one's former comrades with one's own hands, not to mention ordinary soldiers, even those of us who lead the army, may not be able to ease it for a while.
After all, they are not the enemies of the two countries, but their own robes of life and death fighting each other.
Therefore, the general believes that if the psychological pressure of the brothers is not relieved in time.
This caused the brothers to mount their horses and not dare to lift the sword, fearing that there would be endless trouble in the future. "
Seeing Zhou Baoyu's cautious expression, Liu Mingzhi's expression also became serious.
He understood that Zhou Baoyu was definitely not an alarmist. Once his soldiers became fearful of war, the hidden dangers involved should not be underestimated.
After rubbing his temples and thinking for a long time, Liu Mingzhi sighed and waved his hands.
"I have taken this matter to heart. You all should perform your duties first and deal with your own business. Let me think carefully about how to deal with this matter!"
"Yes, we are leaving!"
The generals took the lead and left the tent, leaving only Qi Ya and He Shu, two sisters who acted as personal soldiers, accompanying them.
"Husband... Husband, please be more open-minded. After all, this is not the ending you want to see!"
Liu Mingzhi stared blankly at Qi Ya who was comforting him, stood up and walked slowly towards Qi Ya, silently sat beside Qi Ya's legs, took Qi Ya's hand and sat beside him.
He lay on Qi Ya's legs like a helpless child and swallowed softly.
“Twenty-six thousand people, twenty-six thousand people.
One side is my current brother, and the other side is my former brother. They killed each other and killed more than 20,000 people.
There are more than 20,000 people!
Sister Ya, should I really not rebel? "
Qi Ya looked at her husband who was nestling helplessly and blaming herself in her arms. She sighed quietly and gently stroked her husband's scattered hair.
“Changing dynasties is inevitable, inevitable!
Look away, look away!
My husband is not wrong, it is just the world that is wrong! "
Wenren Yunshu looked at her lost husband at a loss, and wanted to comfort him like her sister Qi Ya, but her lips pursed for a long time.
I still don’t know how to comfort my husband to come out of self-blame.
