Looting is indeed the most direct way to boost morale and increase soldiers' desire to fight.
After the Qing army looted Nanchang Mansion and the surrounding areas, the energy of the Green Camp soldiers was boosted.
For these Green Camp soldiers, now that Qianlong has promised them to go to Hunan and Guangdong to rob them, then Qianlong is simply a reborn parent.
Just when Qianlong returned to the Chinese army's tent from each camp.
There are nights when I don't accept the newspaper.
"Your Majesty, Ni Ming is gathering the refugee people. Many refugees from Nanchang Prefecture have taken refuge with Ni Ming. Now they have established a refugee camp in Shengmidu Town. Ni Ming has divided five thousand troops for defense. The guard... may be Yang Yuchun! !”
Fukang'an, who reported the news, looked a little ugly when he said this name.
Yang Yuchun was promoted by him.
Even Zhongyong Camp was entrusted to Yang Yuchun by Fukangan.
Now that Yang Yuchun and his Zhongyong camp have surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, Fu Kang'an has a certain responsibility.
However, Qianlong also knew that now was the time to use generals, and it was impossible to hold Fukang'an responsible at this time.
So this responsibility can only be shouldered by Yang Yuchun.
"This thief is the most hateful!" Fukangan said through gritted teeth.
"Hmph! This Zhu Daohua is really good at winning people's hearts!"
Qianlong said rather unhappy.
Fukang'an said thoughtfully: "With hundreds of thousands or even millions of refugees bound, maybe... there is a chance to cause great damage to the Ming thieves."
Marching and fighting is inherently dangerous, but now that Zhu Ming has taken the initiative to recruit refugees and civilians, isn't it true that he has trapped his own hands and feet?
"Whether there is a chance, we will know after fighting! This time I will personally meet the Ming thief's soldiers!"
Qianlong punched the map hard and said harshly.
"Let Hailancha and Agui move behind the Ming thieves and look for opportunities to cut off their food and grass. In addition... they can also attack a dozen Shengmidu Town!"
"Your Majesty, what do you mean?"
"Isn't Zhu Daohua trying to win over the refugees to gain fame? I want to see if Zhu Daohua will turn around and come back to help us if our soldiers are born in Midu!"
Qianlong said.
He knew very well that the only advantage the Qing army had now was the advantage of the cavalry.
The war between Ming and Qing Dynasties to the present.
The Qing army retreated all the way.
Never won for a while!
Therefore, if there is a chance to win for a while, it will be a huge boost to the morale of the Qing army.
Until now.
Emperor Qianlong also knew.
It is impossible to defeat the Ming army with this force.
But at least...
At least win for a while.
This way, the morale of the Qing Dynasty's military and people (mainly the bannermen) would not be too low.
anyway.
The Qing Dynasty also had the Central Plains.
Those who have occupied the Central Plains since ancient times are the orthodox ones. Even if the Ming Dynasty has Jiangnan and South China in the future, it will only be divided into one side.
Wait until the Qing Dynasty survives this period.
The Qing Dynasty also wanted to train a new army, build cannons, and make muskets!
It is not enough to have a coated army.
Qianlong squinted his eyes and calculated in his mind.
Judging from the attitude of Westerners, they seem to be quite afraid of the rise of Ni Ming.
Most of the anti-Ming musket and artillery technology came from Western Europe.
I, the Qing Dynasty, can also obtain these technologies from Europa.
As long as there are Central Plains, Manchuria, Southern and Northern Mongolia, and the Great Northwest.
The Qing Dynasty still had a chance to make a comeback.
Now it's just a matter of holding back for the time being.
But before that.
Must win... win for a while!
........
"Huanglong Dabu, Qianlong really didn't leave!"
Jilong Mountain is ten miles away.
The Ming army has already set up camp here.
He turned his attention to the Qing army's camp.
"Do you think Qianlong will be fooled?" Zhu Daohua turned around and asked.
Napoleon smiled and said: "I don't know if I will be fooled, but the temptation of eating Yang Yuchun's five thousand troops is here. If Qianlong can resist it, I will think more highly of him."
"Even Emperor Qianlong, who has been losing all the way, will have a hard time returning to Beijing if he doesn't win for a while. Even if it is for his own prestige, he will seek a victory on the battlefield. What else is better than eating? What's the greater temptation to have a brigade of the Blind Army, and one that doesn't seem to have much combat effectiveness?"
"Qianlong had the advantage of cavalry. Northern Jiangxi is also a plain land. Except for the Gan River, other small streams cannot hinder the movement of his 30,000 cavalry." Tao Biquan said, "So if there is a chance, he I probably won’t be able to resist this temptation.”
Zhu Daohua also smiled: "Now that this temptation is placed in front of Qianlong, it depends on whether he will gamble or not. If he does... it will not be so easy to get away. This time at least he will have to shed a layer of his skin! Yang Yuchun's brigade is not as easy to fight as he thought!"
Yang Yuchun is now the brigade commander of the 17th Brigade of the Ming Army.
He now leads mainly 2,000 elite soldiers selected from the original Zhongyong Battalion, plus dozens of graduates of the Army and Navy Officers Academy and 1,000 recruits, as well as a mortar battalion, with a total of There are 3,600 soldiers.
In addition, due to the recruitment of a large number of refugees in the past few days, an infantry battalion using spears was organized from the refugees.
A reinforced brigade of 5,000 men was formed.
Now this reinforced brigade is located in Shengmidu, protecting a refugee camp with about 70,000 to 80,000 people.
Qianlong wanted to attack this refugee camp and use Yang Yuchun's five thousand troops as a lure to get the Ming army moving in search of fighter opportunities.
The Ming army wanted to draw out Qianlong's tens of thousands of troops and look for opportunities to annihilate them in the wild.
Before the official decisive battle.
Both sides are looking for a battlefield situation that is beneficial to them.
.......
More than a dozen huge bonfires were lit around Shengmidu Town, southwest of Nanchang City, illuminating the dark night.
Yang Yuchun's 17th Brigade is now stationed here.
Along with them were about 80,000 Nanchang people who had no food or clothing.
"Brigadier, the Tatar cavalry has been discovered."
A Ming army scout hurriedly reported.
"It doesn't matter, they can watch it if they want. It can't be hidden anyway." Yang Yuchun waved his hand and said, "Let's raise the hot air balloon early tomorrow morning. Don't let us get attacked by surprise. Let's fight for a while here in Shengmidu."
Yang Yuchun also knew the role of his battle.
It is to play the role of luring the enemy. Lure Qianlong's troops out from Jilong Mountain.
Killing a Ming army recruit brigade of more than 5,000 people, it won the Qing army's first victory since the Ming and Qing wars, breaking the myth that the Ming army was invincible.
Not only Qianlong, but also battlefield veterans such as Fukang'an and Agui could not refuse this temptation.
In the past two or three days, the cavalry of the Qing army clashed with the hunters of the Ming army.
Even though the Ming army hunters equipped with mini bombs did not have war horses, they were not at a disadvantage in the confrontation.
Nowadays, the hunters of the Ming army generally have mules or ponies imported from Japan as transportation.
Although the speed is not fast, the impact is not strong.
But with the advantages of equipment.
These were mainly maneuvers on horseback. The scouts who dismounted and fought on foot had the upper hand when facing the elite Mongolian cavalry.
The Mongolian cavalry still uses the same light cavalry tactics.
The cavalry bows they equipped were not heavy bows and had a short range. In this regard, they were greatly suppressed by the Ming army scouts who had mini bullets.
So after suffering a few losses.
The Qing army's reconnaissance cavalry did not get very close to the Ming army's position at Shengmidu.
But they were still hanging around.
This can only explain.
They are most likely the main force coming to cover the Qing army!
"Qianlong was reluctant to use his Mongolian cavalry and Sauron cavalry to attack our position, so these cavalry were only used to cover the battlefield..." Yang Yuchun said.
At this moment, a horse came galloping.
"Brigadier! The main force of the Qing army has been discovered. There are more than 30,000 people, and there is the Yellow Dragon Banner of the Qing Tatar Emperor! The Qing Tatar Emperor personally leads the troops and horses!"
"Sure enough, it's here!!"
Yang Yuchun took a deep breath.
"Send someone back to the main camp and tell them that our headquarters will hold on to the Shengmi Crossing. We can hold on to the food, grass and ammunition for more than fifteen days. We still have enough strength to spare and we will never let the Tatars succeed!"
Yang Yuchun knew very well that the value of his bait lay in how long he could hold on.
The longer he persists, the more force Qianlong may invest, and the greater the results he may achieve on this battlefield selected by the Ming army!
...
"What's going on in the Ming army's camp?"
Qianlong sat on a yellow-draped sedan carried by sixteen people.
Open the curtain and talk to Fukangan and Lebao who are riding on their horses.
Le Bao was the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu. In this siege of Shengmidu, Qianlong planned to use the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Battalion, the most elite of the Green Battalions, as the main force.
Take the Baoyi army as the governor.
If Zhu Daohua didn't come out, Qianlong would kill more than 5,000 people. After winning a great victory, he would retreat to Jiangbei. It would be considered a victory, and he would be able to brag about it when he returned and collect eleven complete martial arts.
If Zhu Daohua leads reinforcements, the 30,000 cavalry led by Agui and Hailancha will be able to bite the Ming army in motion, look for opportunities to win, and defeat the morale of the Ming army.
Talk about it.
These two plans are really quite shrewd.
In Qianlong's view.
In this battle, as long as you don't want to fight and get the result, you can leave immediately.
The Ming army can only suffer this loss.
Who would have thought that Emperor Qianlong just wanted a victory to make himself fat?
Now the religious bandits are heading towards Guanzhong, so Qianlong himself doesn't have much time.
"Soldiers and horses have already begun to move south, but Ni Ming has sent many pony soldiers to fight with my reconnaissance cavalry during this period. I don't know how many soldiers and horses Ni Ming sent out yet."
"How is the morale of the army?" Qianlong asked again.
"The morale of the army is high, eager to fight, and the morale of the army is available! But..." Le Bao looked at Qianlong, "Long live Lord, do we really want to plunder Hunan?"
The speaker was Le Bao, the governor of Gansu and Shaanxi.
Le Bao will be the main commander in besieging Yang Yuchun this time.
In this battle, the Gansu and Shaanxi Green Camps were the main force.
The elite soldiers of Gansu and Shaanxi have endured hard battles since ancient times.
And now after some rectification.
The soldiers of the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Camp were well fed and their morale was high.
There is also the temptation to bypass the main force of the Ming army and go west to Hunan to plunder.
These men from Gansu and Shaanxi are all very energetic.
Just waiting to receive the reward and go into battle.
And they have never fought against the Ming army until now.
So now is the time when everyone's self-confidence is bursting.
"It may not be Hunan. If we win this battle, we can leave in Jiangnan!"
Qianlong's slender eyes flashed with a bit of fierceness.
What if what is not yours is destroyed?
When the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, they killed more fiercely and more.
Aren’t you going to conquer the world?
The essential.
You have to fight and win!
After the endless coma, Shi Yu suddenly stood up from the bed. If you want to read the latest chapters, please download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters for free without ads.

He took a big breath of fresh air, his chest trembling.
Confused, confused, and all kinds of emotions came to my mind.
Where is this?
Afterwards, Shi Yu subconsciously observed his surroundings, and then became even more confused.
A single dormitory?
Even if he was successfully rescued, he should be in the ward now.
And my body...how could I not have any injuries at all?
With doubts, Shi Yu's eyes quickly swept across the room, and finally his eyes rested on a mirror beside the bed.
The mirror showed his current appearance. He was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and he looked very handsome.
But the problem is, this is not him! Download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters for free without ads.
My previous self was a handsome young man in his twenties who had been working for a while.
And now, no matter how you look, this appearance is that of a high school student...
This change made Shi Yu stunned for a long time.
Don't tell him that the operation was successful...
The body and appearance have changed. This is not a matter of surgery or not, but magic.
He turned into a completely different person!
Could it be...that he traveled through time?
In addition to the mirror placed by the bedside, which was obviously not feng shui-friendly, Shi Yu also found three books next to it.
Shi Yu picked it up and took a look. The title of the book instantly silenced him.
"Essential Animal Breeding Manual for Beginner Breeders"
"Postpartum Care of Pet Pets"
"Evaluation Guide for Interracial Beast-Eared Girls"
Shi Yu:? ? ?
The names of the first two books are pretty normal, but what happened to the last one?
"cough."
Shi Yu looked solemnly and stretched out his hand, but his arm soon stiffened.
Just when he was about to open the third book and see what it was about, his brain suddenly felt a sharp pain, and a large number of memories came flooding back.
Icefield City.
