Chapter 37: Eighty thousand versus twenty thousand, the advantage is mine.
Time went back to three days ago.
Lin Guoliang, a guerrilla from the Guangdong Green Camp of the Qing Dynasty, came to Lanfang with more than a dozen military attachés from the Green Camp to assist the Liu family in Lanfang in organizing group training.
At the same time, Liu Qianxing was given the title of "General Officer of the Regiment Training".
This time Liu Qianxing started to tremble.
He held the banner of the Qing Dynasty and the banner of "General Training Officer of the Lanfang Regiment of the Qing Dynasty" and went around Lanfang to attract people.
Lanfang has four surnames: Liu, Luo, Chen and Ye.
Each of the four major surnames occupies a territory.
But apart from these four major surnames.
There are also large and small Hakka clans from Jiaying Prefecture in various places in Lanfang.
There are quite a few people.
Zhu Daohua's rise was short-lived.
He is also a "rebellious rebel against the Ming Dynasty", so his influence is temporarily inferior to that of the Qing court, which the Lanfang people used to look forward to the stars and the moon to protect them, the "abandoned people of the Celestial Dynasty".
Therefore, when Liu Qianxing called on the Qing people in West Borneo to actively join the army under the slogan of "protect the Qing Dynasty and destroy the Ming Dynasty", he suddenly raised a lot of eyebrows.
Seeing that Lin Guoliang, who had been a military attache in Guangdong for more than ten years, nodded repeatedly,
There are so many people from Lanfang who choose to side with the Qing Dynasty.
Lin Guoliang couldn't help but sigh: "The people of Lanfang love the Qing Dynasty more than the unscrupulous people in Guangdong!"
Liu Qianxing stroked his beard and smiled and said: "Lord Lin, you don't know something. The Chinese people in Nanyang have been oppressed by Westerners many times, and they have long been attracted to the Qing Dynasty, hoping to use the power of the Qing Dynasty tiger to frighten the barbarians. Now the Qing Dynasty is finally coming, everyone How can we not be excited and happy?"
Lin Guoliang nodded with satisfaction.
Lin Guoliang, who has been an official in Guangdong for many years, knows this very well.
Let’s talk about which place in the Qing Dynasty has the most unruly people.
That must be Guangdong.
And now in this land of Nanyang.
I can actually see so many docile people of the Qing Dynasty.
Lin Guoliang has a lot more confidence in destroying "Ni Ming".
"How many troops does Zhu Ni have under his command?"
Lin Guoliang asked.
"The Navy doesn't know. As for the Army, there are three brigades with about 10,000 people. Two of the brigades were newly established in the past two months."
"Actually, their Army's First Brigade has only been newly established for more than three months." Liu Guangliang interjected from the side.
Ten thousand people.
They are all new recruits who are less than three months old.
Lin Guoliang nodded.
Liu Qianxing, on the other hand, waved his fingers and started to calculate, "We have more than 10,000 soldiers and horses here. According to the current recruitment speed, we can recruit 20,000 soldiers in ten days, but they are all heroes who can fight anywhere!"
A gangster thug?
I don’t know if it can be beaten.
But it must be very fierce.
How can I be a gangster thug if I'm not fierce?
"Let's just say 20,000."
Lin Guoliang said.
"No matter how many people there are, there are not enough weapons. Twenty thousand people can be organized into a town, with twelve battalions of the Four Associations under their jurisdiction, each with a leading officer, strict discipline, and execution of orders."
"Musketeers, pikemen, sword and shield soldiers and other troops will be organized according to the Green Battalion's establishment, and there will also be artillery."
"There are cannons. They are six-pound smoothbore cannons dismantled from merchant ships. The Dutch secretly provided some assistance. There are thirty-seven in total."
Liu Qianxing said hurriedly.
Lin Guoliang was overjoyed when he heard this: "Okay! These thirty-seven guns can form an artillery association. How are Liang Xiang's preparations?"
"The food reserves are enough to last for a year, and the rice here in Borneo can be harvested three times a year, so there is no shortage of food at all. Xiangyin has also been distributed, and the heroes are very energetic."
"The four associations have 20,000 people, and they can be said to be 50,000 to the outside world! They also have muskets and cannons, and their combat power cannot be underestimated!"
According to the standards of the Qing Dynasty, it certainly cannot be underestimated.
The equipment of the Green Camp soldiers in Guangdong is not so good.
And the fighting spirit is not as strong as the thugs of the Liu family in front of them - Liu Qianxing said, break the Pontianak and let these heroes free for ten days!
There was support from the Qing Dynasty.
He can also steal money and women.
The fighting spirit of these underworld thugs is already unbelievably high-pitched.
It is definitely not what those sickly Guangdong Green Camp soldiers can compare with.
In Lin Guoliang's view.
There are 20,000 soldiers and horses.
In fact, it is guaranteed to be undefeated.
But fighting?
It is to make your advantages as big as possible during the preparation stage.
“How did the nations of Borneo react?”
"The Sultanate of Brunei, the Sultanate of Banjar, and the Dayak tribe will all send troops! Brunei will send 30,000 troops, Banjar will send 20,000 troops, and Dayak will send 10,000 troops." Liu Qianxing said.
When the countries of Borneo heard that the Qing Dynasty wanted to unite with them to annihilate Ni Ming, they all gave a very positive response.
The two major sultanates and the large native tribes like the Dayaks have already begun to gather their troops, and it is time to gather in the third round.
"Then the total strength is 80,000!!"
Lin Guoliang looked excited.
Commanded 80,000 people to fight.
This is a very rare opportunity for him as a small green camp guerrilla.
If this battle can wipe out Ni Ming.
Then Lin Guoliang would be considered to have achieved military exploits.
We can go further in the future.
Lin Guoliang certainly demands progress.
Lin Guoliang in history was quite ambitious.
But no luck.
He took the initiative to attack the Red Flag Gang, which was at its peak at the time, but was hit by a musket and died young.
There are not many military attachés in the Green Camp who have such courage.
"Over there in Niming, Zhu Daohua has three brigades of recruits, the Luo family has 6,000 thugs, and the Ye and Liu families have 6,000, but only 12,000. Moreover, many Chinese workers from the three families have fled these days because they are afraid of the power of the Qing Dynasty. Now It’s not certain whether we can gather 10,000 people.”
"Let's say he is ten thousand." Lin Guoliang said, "The total force is only twenty thousand!"
"Ten thousand are new recruits, and ten thousand are panic-stricken. We have 80,000 tiger warriors. The traitor is just a bomb, and it's not like I have never seen it before. In short, it's 80,000 vs. 20,000. I have the advantage!"
Lin Guoliang said confidently.
"When Zhu Daohua arrives in Pontianak, he will set off immediately. We can't let the leader of the Ni Ming thief escape!"
That was my chance to get involved.
With the help of Lin Guoliang.
Liu Qianxing quickly organized and trained the 20,000 people he recruited into an army.
They also sent manpower to block the roads to Pontianak from various places. At the same time, they also formed a "Lanfang Tuan Lian Yamen" as the general headquarters to exterminate the rebels against the Ming Dynasty.
Armed with muskets, spears, swords and other equipment.
There were also more than thirty cannons dismantled from merchant ships.
It is known to the outside world that the Liu family has 50,000 troops.
He also united with the soldiers and horses of three native forces in Borneo.
It is said to have an army of 200,000!
The military front points directly at Pontianak.
...........
This side of Pontianak.
It's true that people are panicking.
Under such panic.
Many Chinese people in Pontianak have fled.
Liu Qianxing was actually promoted by the Qing Dynasty and was given the position of chief military officer of the Lanfang regiment!
The Qing Dynasty is coming to Lanfang!
Moreover, it has also formed an alliance with the Borneo Kingdom of Brunei, the Banjar Kingdom, and the Dayak Tribe, claiming to have an army of 200,000!
It's over now.
Many people from the Luo family, Ye family, and Chen family were secretly complaining.
Complained that Luo Fangbo was confused.
Why did you get in touch with the traitor against the Ming Dynasty?
Although King Ni Ming defeated the Dutch.
But can he defeat the Qing?
The current Qing Dynasty is a glorious and prosperous age.
