Chapter 118 Win!
Looting is indeed the most direct way to boost morale and increase soldiers' desire to fight.

After the Qing army looted Nanchang Mansion and its surrounding areas, the energy of the Green Battalion soldiers was encouraged.

For these green battalion soldiers, now that Qianlong promised them to go to Hunan and Guangdong to rob them, then Lord Qianlong is simply a reborn parent.

Just when Qianlong returned from the battalions to the big tent of the Chinese army.

There are nights when no reports are received.

"Your Majesty, Niming is recruiting refugees. Many refugees from Nanchang Mansion have defected to Niming. Now they have established a refugee camp in Shengmidu Town. Niming divides [-] troops to defend. The guard may be Yang Yuchun!!"

Fu Kang'an, who reported the news, had an ugly face when he said the name.

Yang Yuchun was promoted by him.

Even the Zhongyong Camp was handed over to Yang Yuchun by Fukang'an.

Now that Yang Yuchun took the Zhongyongying camp to vote for Daming, he has a certain responsibility for Fukang'an.

However, Qianlong also knew that now is the time to use generals, and it is impossible to pursue Fukang'an's responsibility at this time.

So this responsibility can only be carried by Yang Yuchun.

"This thief is the most hateful!" Fu Kang'an gritted his teeth and said.

"Hmph! This Zhu Daohua is sure to win people's hearts!"

Qianlong said rather unhappily.

But Fukang'an said thoughtfully: "There are hundreds of thousands or even millions of refugees in bondage, and there may be a chance to cause great damage to the Ming thief."

Marching and fighting is a dangerous thing, and now that Zhu Ming took the initiative to recruit refugees, wouldn't he be trapped?
"Whether there is a chance, we will know when we fight! This time, I will personally meet the Ming thief's soldiers!"

Qianlong slammed his fist heavily on the map and said ruthlessly.

"Go and let Hailancha and Agui move behind the Ming thief, looking for opportunities to cut off their food and grass, and you can also attack Shengmidu Town!"

"Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

"Isn't Zhu Daohua trying to win over refugees and seek fame? I want to see if Zhu Daohua will turn around and come back to help when I was born in Midu!"

Qianlong said.

He knew very well that the only remaining advantage of the Qing army was the advantage of the cavalry.

From the Ming and Qing Dynasties to the present.

The Qing army retreated all the way.

Never won a round!
Therefore, if there is a chance to win for a while, it will greatly boost the morale of the Qing army.

hit now.

Emperor Qianlong also knew.

It is no longer possible to defeat the Ming army by virtue of this round.

but at least
Win at least for a while.

In this way, the morale of the army and the people (mainly the bannermen) of the Qing Dynasty 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 there will be Jiangnan and South China in the future, it will only be a separate party.

Wait for the Qing Dynasty to survive this period.

The Qing Dynasty also wanted to train new troops, build cannons, and muskets!
It's not enough just to have a coat of arms.

Qianlong narrowed his eyes and began to calculate in his heart.

Judging from the attitude of the Westerners, they seem to be quite afraid of the rise of Niming.

Most of the technology of the guns and artillery of the Ming Dynasty came from Western Europe.

I am Qing, I can also get these technologies from Europa,

As long as there are Central Plains, Manchuria, Monan, Mobei, and Great Northwest.

There is still a chance of a comeback in the Qing Dynasty.

Now it's just forbearance.

But before that.

Must win. Win a while!
"Huanglong Dazhu, Qianlong really didn't leave!"

Jilong Mountain is ten miles away.

The Ming army has already set up camp here.

He looked at the camp of the Qing army.

"Do you think Qianlong will be fooled?" Zhu Daohua turned his head and asked.

Napoleon smiled and said: "I don't know if I will be fooled, but the temptation of having 5000 troops under Yang Yuchun's command is here. If Qianlong can bear it, I will look up to him more."

"I have lost all the way to the present, even if it is Emperor Qianlong, if he doesn't win for a while, it may be difficult to explain when he goes back to Beijing. Even if it is for his own prestige, he still wants to seek a victory on the battlefield. What is better than eating?" A brigade of the Blind Army, and a brigade that doesn't seem to have very good combat effectiveness, is the greater temptation?"

"Qianlong has his own advantage in cavalry. North Jiangxi is also a land of plains. Except for a Ganjiang River, no other small streams can hinder the movement of the [-] cavalry under his command." Tao Biquan said, "So if there is a chance, he I probably won't be able to resist the temptation."

Zhu Daohua also smiled: "Now that the temptation is in front of Qianlong, it depends on whether he gambles or not. If he gambles, it will not be so easy to get away. This time, at least let him take off a layer of skin! That brigade Yang Yuchun It's not as easy to fight as he imagined!"

Yang Yuchun is now the commander of the No.17 Brigade of the Ming Army.

He now leads mainly 600 elite soldiers selected from the original Zhongyong Battalion, plus dozens of graduates from the Army and Naval Academy and [-] recruits, as well as a mortar battalion. Three thousand and six hundred soldiers.

In addition, because a large number of refugees have been gathered in the past few days, an infantry battalion using spears has been trained from among the refugees.

A reinforced brigade of 5000 men was formed.

Now this strengthened brigade is placed in Shengmidu, guarding a refugee camp with about 8 to [-] people.

Qianlong wanted to attack this refugee camp and use Yang Yuchun's [-] soldiers as a lure to mobilize the Ming army to find opportunities for combat.

Didn't the Ming army want to draw Qianlong's tens of thousands of troops out 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 in the southwest of Nanchang City, illuminating the night brightly.

Yang Yuchun's No.17 brigade is now stationed here.

Together with them are about 8 Nanchang people who have no food or clothing.

"Brigade Commander, we have spotted the Tartar cavalry."

A reconnaissance hunter of the Ming army hastily reported.

"It doesn't matter, they can watch it if they want, they can't hide it anyway." Yang Yuchun waved his hand and said, "Raise the hot air balloon early tomorrow morning, so as not to be attacked by surprise, let's fight at Shengmidu first."

Yang Yuchun also knew the role of his battle.

It is to play the role of luring the enemy.Lead Qianlong's soldiers and horses out of Jilong Mountain.

Eat a brigade of recruits from the Ming army of more than 5000 people, and won the first victory of the Qing army since the Ming and Qing battles, breaking the myth that the Ming army was invincible.

Not only Qianlong, but even veteran generals like Fukang'an and Agui couldn't 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 horses, they did not fall into a disadvantage in the confrontation.

Now 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 advantage of equipment.

These are mainly maneuvers on horseback, and the scouts who dismount and fight on foot have the upper hand when facing the elite Mongolian cavalry.

The Mongolian cavalry is still the same set of light cavalry tactics.

The cavalry bows they were equipped with were not heavy bows and had a short range. In this regard, they were greatly suppressed by the scouts of the Ming army with Mini bombs.

So after suffering a few times.

The Qing army's reconnaissance cavalry were not very close to the Ming army's position at Shengmidu.

Still they hang around.

This only shows.

They are very likely to be the main force 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 galloped over.

"Brigade Commander! The main force of the Qing army has been discovered. There are more than 3 people. There is a yellow dragon banner of the Qing Emperor! The Qing Emperor personally led the troops and horses to come!"

"Sure enough!!"

Yang Yuchun took a deep breath.

"Send people back to Daying, and say that the headquarters will stick to Shengmidu, and the food, grass and ammunition can last for more than [-] days. The headquarters still has spare strength, and we will never let the Tartars succeed!"

Yang Yuchun knew very well that the value of his bait lay in how long he could last.

The longer you persist, the more power Qianlong may invest, and the greater the results you may achieve on this battlefield selected by the Ming army!

"What happened to the Ming army camp?"

Qianlong sat on a yellow-curtained sedan chair carried by 16 people.

Open the curtain and talk to Fukan'an and Lebao who are riding on their horses.

Le Bao was the governor of Shaanxi-Gansu, and Qianlong planned to use the most elite Shaanxi-Gansu Green Camp as the main force to besiege Shengmidu this time.

Take the Packed Army as the Overseer.

If Zhu Daohua didn't come out, Qianlong would eat up these more than 5000 people, and retreat to Jiangbei after a big victory.

If Zhu Daohua led reinforcements, the [-] cavalry led by Agui and Hailancha would be able to bite the Ming army during the movement, look for opportunities to win a victory, and defeat the morale of the Ming army.

speak up.

These two plans are really quite shrewd.

In Qianlong's opinion.

In this battle, as long as he doesn't love to fight, he will withdraw and leave immediately after obtaining the results.

The Ming army can only suffer from this loss.

Who would have thought that Lord Qianlong just wanted a victory to slap his swollen face and make himself fat?
Now the bandits are heading towards Guanzhong, so Qianlong doesn't have much time for himself.

"Soldiers and horses have already started to go south, but during this period of time, Niming has sent a lot of pony soldiers to confront my cavalry. I don't know exactly how many soldiers and horses Niming dispatched."

"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, do we really want to rob Hunan?"

It was Le Bao, governor of Gansu and Shaanxi who spoke.

Le Bao will be the main general who besieged Yang Yuchun's troops this time.

In this battle, the Ganshan Green Battalion was the main force.

The elite soldiers from Gansu and Shanxi have endured hard battles since ancient times.

And now after some rectification.

The soldiers of the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Battalion had enough food and high morale.

There is also the temptation to bypass the main force of the Ming army and go west to Hunan to plunder.

Each of these Ganshan men worked hard.

Just waiting for the reward to go into battle.

And they haven't fought the Ming army yet.

So now is the time when everyone's self-confidence is bursting.

"It may not be in Hunan. If we win this battle, we can go to the south of the Yangtze River!"

A bit of sternness flashed in Qianlong's slender eyes.

What doesn't belong to me, so what if it is destroyed?
When the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, they killed more ruthlessly and more.

Isn't it all over the world?
The essential.

Is to fight to win!
