"The archers retreat, the spearmen and swordsmen are ready..." Looking at the approaching Zhou army, the Qing army began to change their formation.
"Brothers, military glory is right in front of you, and what's in front of you is money. Kill all the rebels and go back to collect the rewards, drink, eat meat, and play with women... Go ahead..."
After giving the order, the Qing troops rushed forward like a swarm of chickens. The two armies were like a flood of water, and they were fighting together.
At this time, if any squad leader of the bandit suppression army was here, they would not be able to help but scold Li Yicun for being a braggart. At this level, he still teaches people to fight?
Li Yicun didn't know what the people in the bandit suppression army thought, but at this moment he was sitting on the horse and laughing happily.
When large armies are engaged in battle, morale and comprehensive training are extremely important. On the battlefield, a slight tilt to either side is enough to tip the entire battle in its favor.
The Zhou army's idea of going all out was right, but the vast majority of its soldiers were ordinary people who had just joined. The people have always been in awe of the government, so their morale is low.
Secondly, as ordinary people who have just put down their hoes, they naturally have not received systematic training. Compared with the Qing army's green soldiers who still had some military training, they were too weak to fight head-on with these green soldiers.
Although there are many warriors with high martial arts skills in the Zhou army, individual bravery has little effect on the huge army. Xiang Yu was highly skilled in martial arts and could kill one or two hundred people in a battle, but in the face of a huge army, he had no choice but to commit suicide in Wujiang.
"Kill..."
After a Green Camp soldier slashed a big Zhou soldier holding a fork in his hand, he wiped the blood splattered on his face with his sleeve and roared.
On the battlefield, there were not too many sword fights and back-and-forth fights, but more of the Zhou army constantly falling to the ground under the hacking attacks of the Qing army.
At this time, the Qing army had been suppressing the Zhou army. As the green soldiers in the Qing army continued to kill, the balance of victory began to favor the Qing army more and more.
In less than a stick of incense, countless Zhou troops fell to the swords and guns of the green camp soldiers, and the Zhou army was completely outnumbered. The Qing army on the battlefield almost dominated the entire battle with overwhelming force.
Looking at the Zhou army that kept dying, Wu Sixi's heart was bleeding. Especially those old brothers who came down from Malong Mountain, these are all his capital, and every loss is like cutting a knife into Wu Sixi's body.
"Withdraw...Quickly withdraw..."
As the war intertwined, Wu Sixi, who was severely slapped in the face by reality, could only pay the money and withdraw his troops.
"This green camp soldier is still too strong!" Wu Sixi said helplessly through gritted teeth.
However, on the battlefield, you can't just retreat if you want. An unorganized retreat will only become a rout.
"Haha... I just said that these rebels don't have much ability. They are restless plowing the fields to be good mud-legged people, and they don't know whether to live or die in rebellion. They are really tired of living." Looking at the battlefield, they retreated and ran away. Great Zhou Army, Li Yicun spat and laughed.
"This is mainly due to your lord's strategizing and leading troops. No matter how capable this rebel is, he can only be an obedient monkey in front of your lord." Yang Yi, the general next to Li Yicun, hurriedly added.
"Haha... You are a good boy. You have read a few books. I like to hear what you say." Li Yicun said happily.
"Thank you, sir." Yang Yi looked flattered.
"Sir, do you want to continue the pursuit?" At this time, the flag officer in the team came over and asked.
"Just inform them and let the brothers pursue Wuli. The remaining rebels can't make any trouble." Li Yicun ordered with high spirits.
"Yes, sir." The flag officer replied and left to announce the order.
"Sir, after this battle, I should be able to call you a general! Guerrilla general." Yang Yi congratulated.
"It depends on the meaning above. It's a bit difficult to jump two levels in a row. But I heard that there is a lot of noise over there in the east, so there should be no problem." Li Yicun thought for a while and replied.
"The rebels are at this level. The trash in the east can still control the entire tax-rich area south of the Yangtze River. I really don't understand where their soldiers have fallen."
"That's because the rebels in the east didn't meet my uncle... If they had met the adults earlier, they wouldn't have been able to survive the storm." Yang Yi complimented.
"Yes, they didn't meet me. If they met me, I would have to teach them how to behave." Li Yicun nodded in agreement with Yang Yi's words. Regarding fighting against rebels, Li Yicun thinks he still has some "experience".
"Yes, that's right. With adults here, how dare they not know the heights of the world." After Yang Yi said yes repeatedly, suddenly, he lowered his voice and asked:
"Uncle. Tell me, after you are promoted to become a guerrilla general, will the imperial court send you to fight against the rebels in the east?"
Yang Yi's words made Li Yicun think deeply for a while.
"It's really hard to do this. The rebels in the east are too rampant, and the court needs people to suppress them. But we soldiers must have battles to get promoted easily. We have to go to the east to fight against the rebels. Maybe we can still Be promoted to admiral or commander-in-chief." Li Yicun said becoming more and more happy.
"Haha, yes. I will also be able to get my uncle's blessing by then." Yang Yi also replied with a smile.
"You kid..."
…
In mid-February of the 21st year of Qianlong's reign, Malong County, which was captured by the so-called Great Zhou Army, was encircled and suppressed by Qilin County garrison Li Yicun, but it was defeated in just three days.
The Great Zhou Kingdom was like a joke, and Malong County returned to the jurisdiction of the Qing Dynasty. Wu Sixi, the leader of the Great Zhou Dynasty, continues to abscond into the mountains, and the Manchu and Qing officials have issued a wanted list.
…
Beiping, Hall of Supreme Harmony.
February has passed the vernal equinox, and the rain has been continuous, bringing sufficient rain to the earth. The vegetation is green and full of life.
The Hall of Supreme Harmony is commonly known as the "Jinluan Hall". It was only used as a place for the emperor to ascend the throne and hold grand ceremonies.
The imperial gate generally listens to government affairs at Taihe Gate outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony or Qianqing Gate outside the Qianqing Palace. The emperors of the Qing Dynasty loved to live in gardens and spent most of their time in three mountains and five gardens. The location of their administration would also change. For example, Kangxi lived in Qingxi Bookstore in Changchun Garden, Yongzheng lived in peace and harmony in Old Summer Palace, and Qianlong stayed in Old Summer Palace. Contains Sutra Hall.
Since Yongzheng established the Military Aircraft Department, every day after getting up early, the military aircraft minister would be summoned to the West Nuan Pavilion of Yangxin Hall to have a duel with the emperor. There is a secret passage in Xinuan Pavilion that is connected to the military aircraft department. If there are important matters that need to be discussed in an expanded scope, Duozhuan will be held in the Yangxin Hall to hold court meetings.
Usually, Qianlong mostly followed the habits of his emperor Yongzheng. But now the war in the south is difficult to end, the war in the northwest is not over, and other wars are starting again.
The crisis facing the empire today is no less than that of the San Francisco Rebellion. Therefore, Qianlong wanted to follow Kangxi's example and listen to the government outside the Taihe Gate, so as to eliminate the rebellion of the Taiqing and enjoy peace forever.
