As the saying goes since ancient times: Compassion does not control soldiers.
Since the Manchu and Qing Dynasties have become completely shameless, Da Yi naturally cannot continue to do so, otherwise barbarism will once again defeat civilization.
In order to protect our own soldiers, we must completely put an end to this shameless behavior of the Manchus. Da Yi announced that he would shoot everyone on the battlefield indiscriminately.
At the same time, Da Yi also promised not to force those who went to the battlefield. As long as they dared to turn around and resist the Manchu army, he would set up monuments for them to commemorate their heroic deeds, and would kill all the enemies who dared to drive them into the battlefield to commemorate their heroic deeds. They take revenge.
At first, the Manchu and Qing troops thought that Da Yi was just here to scare them. Since Da Yi was a Han dynasty that valued reputation most, how could it be possible that Da Yi would shoot unarmed old, weak, women and children so casually?
But the facts told them that they were wrong. Da Yi would really kill them indiscriminately, and at the same time, they would no longer keep prisoners on the battlefield. For the Manchu and Qing troops who dared to drive the people to the battlefield, they no longer cared about the difference between the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty and the Green Camp.
Suddenly, the situation on the battlefield began to reverse.
The Manchu and Qing armies in the east, south, and west routes that had been fighting smoothly were all beaten back steadily.
Especially Wu Ya Zhaohui's West Route Army, they were like a plague of locusts wherever they went, leaving only desolation on the ground, so they were naturally taken care of by Dayi.
In order to annihilate them, Dayi even mobilized the sharp knife army and the Guards to carry out the most violent attack on them.
Wu Ya Zhaohui's West Route Army was able to fight back and forth with the Zhongyi Army because it captured a lot of equipment from the Yi Army in the early stage. However, under the joint attack of the Sharp Sword Army and the Guards, that little equipment was unable to do anything. If it is replenished, it will be exhausted, and the biggest advantage against the Yijun in the line will be lost.
The ensuing battle once again returned to a one-sided situation between the Manchu and Qing Dynasties.
During this period, Qianlong had also been ordering to imitate Dayi's weapons and ammunition in order to narrow the gap in weapons between the two sides. After all, Qianlong was not a fool. The Qing Dynasty's cavalry and archery could deal with the surrounding small countries, but it was really not enough in front of Da Yi's sharp weapons.
However, it is easy to imitate guns, which can be made bit by bit by hand. The cost is high and the travel time is low, but if it is only used to equip Eight Banners recruits, it can still be supported.
But it is impossible to imitate ammunition.
We must know that the gunpowder of the Qing Dynasty still used the formula of the Ming Dynasty at this time. It was not easy for them to suddenly understand smokeless gunpowder. Moreover, the huge cost of making smokeless gunpowder and the huge military expenditures would make Qianlong, a prodigal son, intolerable.
After all, the Old Summer Palace has not yet been completed.
Ordinary gunpowder can be used if you make do, but it will just kill more people in the green camp.
....
The West Route Army, which had lost its advantage, once again resorted to catching the people in charge, but Da Yi was determined not to care about his reputation. After every battle, the Yi army no longer left any prisoners behind, and their morale was shaken. Even as soon as the battle started, the troops of the West Route Army began to flee in order to avoid being shot by the Yi army on the battlefield.
After going back and forth, Wuya Zhaohui also knew that this move was useless. He ordered the massacre of the city and the massacre of the people to improve the morale of the army, and forcibly tied the army to the opposite side of Dayi, and faced the enemy with a desperate attitude.
However, Wu Ya Zhaohui obviously underestimated the strength of the Yi army. Under the Yi army's indiscriminate bombardment and efficient three-three system to kill the enemy, the Manchu and Mongolian border army cavalry that Wu Ya Zhaohui relied on most had no choice but to hide. If you have to leave, let alone the other Eight Banners soldiers?
Even if some green battalions intend to kill the enemy in order to raise the flag, in the end they can only turn into corpses to nourish the earth.
Soon, the West Route Army, which was defeated by the Yi Army, quickly escaped from Hubei and returned to Shaanxi.
Dayi's army pursued all the way, destroyed all the cities in Shaanxi, and surrounded Wuya Zhaohui in Xianyang.
Wu Ya Zhaohui was eventually defeated and died. His head was cut off, salted and sent back to Guangzhou.
The Manchu Army on the South Road of the Qing Dynasty was defeated and retreated to Shanxi for defense to prevent Shaanxi's Yi army from going straight to the capital. Dayi's Chiye army took advantage of the victory and pursued it, controlling the entire province of Henan along the way.
The Manchu and Qing army on the east road were defeated, and they pursued and returned to Hebei to defend the capital, and the whole province of Shandong was included in Dayi.
Early July in the fifth year of natural selection (the twenty-sixth year of Qianlong's reign)
Yong Ji Ya of Burma, who was lagging in news, thought that the Manchu and Qing Dynasties were fighting in full swing in Da Yi, and had restrained most of Da Yi's troops. He thought that his opportunity was coming, especially after he heard that Zhang Rui was missing, the Qing Dynasty At this time, the army that was suppressing Da Yi was even more excited.
Therefore, Yong Jiya ignored the opposition of his ministers and launched an attack on Southern Myanmar on the pretext that someone was making trouble in Southern Myanmar.
By attacking intentionally or unintentionally, Yong Jiya quickly captured a large area of southern Myanmar.
At this time, the local troops placed by Da Yi in southern Myanmar were also vigorously resisting. But after all, these local armies have never really been on the battlefield, and for a while they were unable to stand up to Yong Jiya's brave and skilled soldiers.
Da Yi's own guns have not yet been fully popularized, and naturally they will not allocate breech-loading guns to the armies in these places. At most, they will allocate obsolete bows and arrows and matchlocks to them. This also makes these local armies It is unable to form an equipment advantage against the Northern Myanmar Army.
Although Yong Ji Ya was brave in the army, after the army in southern Myanmar gradually adapted to the war, he fought back and forth with them, and the two sides actually fought evenly.
As for the stalemate between the two sides, the one who is most anxious is Yong Jiya.
Although Yong Jiya killed a large number of people from southern Myanmar after this battle, he still could not make them surrender. This was something that was almost impossible to happen before, but now it is actually happening.
Probably because they are now included in Da Yi's territory and under Da Yi's jurisdiction.
The army in the north and the army in South Burma are just fighting together and cannot quickly defeat South Burma. Those Yijun who have responded have the strength to escape from the Qing war and will inevitably attack the north. By then, North Burma will be in danger.
Therefore, Yong Jiya could only increase the intensity of the massacre and kill the people of southern Myanmar even more cruelly.
At the same time, Zhang Zhishan, who was stationed in Yunnan, was very angry after learning about the behavior of northern Myanmar. After sending a telegram to Guangzhou, he immediately organized troops to enter Myanmar directly from Yunnan.
Yong Jiya did not expect that Da Yi's troops in Yunnan would dare to mobilize so casually. You must know that the Manchu and Qing Dynasties also left a lot of troops in Sichuan. As long as these troops entered Yunnan, he would not want Yunnan anymore.
However, there was no room for Yong Jiya to think too much, because he soon received the news that the army he used to defend Yunnan was defeated.
At this time, Yong Jiya felt extremely anxious.
Da Yi is still so good at fighting!
