No matter how depressed Cai Qian was in his heart, he could only look at Zhu Feng showing off his IQ, because behind Zhu Feng was Jiang Zhe, the Southeast Manager!

In a sense, this Lord Jiang has a greater weight in King Zhao's heart than Premier Jiang.

These are like-minded true friends, and it is naturally very different from those like Jiang Xizong who are forced to board the boat.

Zhao Liang handed over all the authority in the Southeast to Jiang Zhe for handling.

Behind Zhu Bian, Jiang Zhe's meaning was, and Cai Qian could only continue to be depressed.

And just at the stairs where the coastal commerce of Jiangsu and Zhejiang are prosperous, the main force of the Qing army, who had been resting for a long time, finally made another move.

It was impossible for Qianlong to watch Zhao Liang recruit soldiers without hesitation.

If the Qing army does not take action in this cool autumn season, and the Qing army will launch a counterattack again in the coming year, wouldn’t it be a plea to suffer?

And he is still worried about the food for the winter this year!

The large Qing army did not camp in Zhajinmen, but concentrated in Baoding and Hejian.

The horse team, which had an absolute advantage, directly left Cangzhou and entered Jingzhou, Jizhou and Guangping Prefecture.

These places, together with the Daming Prefecture, are the southernmost prefectures in Zhili. Before, the Qing army was defeated and all of them were left to Chen's army.

Zhao Liang did not have too many soldiers there to guard the prefectures, and the definition of those prefectures was a cordon - it was not that the Qing army would run away as soon as they came, the Qing army had the advantage of cavalry, and the Chen army could not pull it off just if they wanted to withdraw. Instead, the Chen army troops arranged there were directly retracted into the defensive position.

There are specially built bunker groups in several places. Chen Jun, who has only a thousand troops in each place, shrank in it. I don’t want any other prefectures, prefectures, etc.

Just ask if you want to hit me?

If you hit me, everyone will fight.

With a bunker in hand, I can knock your teeth off even if I fight it all.

If you don't fight, that's better.

Everyone came to play a quiet battle and watched the main army fight.

It was not until Guangping Prefecture, which was the front line of Zhangde and Daming, south of Handan, that this was the real border of Chen's army.

The garrison suddenly rose from a regiment in front to a division, and the Zhanghe River and Weihe River were barriers. The Qing army's infantry and cavalry were not so easy to rush over.

The Qing army rushed south with no preaching, but judging by the momentum, their goal was still to the front line of the Qing Dynasty.

After all, Linqing is a node. If it takes over there, the prefectures and prefectures in southern Zhili will not fight.

The Qing army could not only plan for Qilu again, but also take care of Zhangde, Weihui and other places north of the Yellow River. The troops rushed straight to the Yellow River, which suddenly pushed the front line to the core area of ​​the Chen army.

To put it bluntly, as long as the Qing army takes Linqing, they can retake everything they lost before.

The sound of reinforcements to Linqing sounded in Chenzhou City instantly.

Zhao Liang also really led his troops into Linqing.

This place already has a large amount of military supplies, so there is no need to transfer urgently. A group of troops gathered here quickly.

Originally, the Qing army was the first to move troops, but Zhao Liang had arrived in Linqing. The main force of the Qing army was still in Baoding and was nesting in Hejian.

Of course, there is nothing to be laughed at about.

One of the major reasons why the main force of the Qing army was slow to move was that Qianlong set out.

Qianlong, who was almost eighty, now he personally led the army to take the newly formed Eight Banners New Army, and lit up a large number of Eight Banners stationed in Beijing in the capital, and 50,000 Eight Banners Army drove out of the capital.

In this situation, after Kang Mazi beat the Three Feudals, the Eight Banners soldiers never made such a big move.

Let’s look at Qianlong’s posture, he obviously wanted to rely on the Eight Banners on the battlefield.

Perhaps he felt that he was in charge of the imperial army, and with the emperor's majesty for decades, he could inspire the morale of the Qing army no matter what.

Let's go out and fight.

Otherwise, after the golden seeds bloom everywhere in the Central Plains next year, the Manchu Halals will be unable to bear it.

Now the people in the Central Plains are going crazy when they see the test fields. What will happen if a large number of Zhao family's military and martyrs grow grains with a yield of five stones per mu next year?

No one with vision will be optimistic about Daqingguo.

At least in Jiangbei!

Whether it is the northern Central Plains, the Zhili of Qi and Lu, or the western Hebei provinces of Hedong and Guanzhong, these provinces are the main ones, and food is the most intriguing.

To some extent, it is no different from being distributed to the common people.

If this emotion is allowed to spread, Qianlong is afraid that he will not be able to fight in the future.

"Qianlong has arrived in Baoding. The Qing army will move soon..."

Putting down the information in his hand, Zhao Liang smiled.

Qianlong was willing to try his best at this time, and he was very welcome.

Even though Zhao Liang's own strength is far from being maximized, Chen Jun can only achieve five or six points now, and a large number of new troops are still staying in the training camp.

However, the Chen army has cleared the two places of Anhui and Qi and Lu, and unified the entire territory. The actual force has not increased much, but the available mobile force has also increased a lot.

The total number of Qing troops that came in large numbers exceeded 100,000. If the militias in the prefectures could reach 150,000.

Zhao Liang also gathered 60,000 troops in Linqing, with more than 20,000 people in the Jiaodong Army. With more than 70,000 troops on the front line, the total force was definitely more than 70,000.

This is a real 70,000-fire-armed unit.

Baoding, in person, the imperial tent was in front of the imperial throne. Under Qianlong, many important officials and governors of the Qing Dynasty gathered together. At this moment, they were all looking at each other with sweat and nervousness. More than 100,000 troops of the imperial court gathered in Baoding, and the priests had also arrived in person, but they had no chance of winning in their hearts.

Zhao Ni's army dared to fight, but now he is afraid that he will go crazy. Although the Qing army's strength is almost twice that of the Chen army, there are also many Manchu and Mongolian cavalry, as well as elite Ganzhou and Shaanxi green camps who came through Hedong to reinforce.

But this still doesn't give them confidence.

Anyway, they had no confidence in the victory or defeat of this battle.

This is what Qianlong is angry about now.

The reason why he is here to fight this game has been explained clearly. He believes that everyone present understands it clearly. Since everyone understands it clearly, why not cheer up and not give up?

Of course, Qianlong did not roar loudly and get angry, but his face was calm.

Because he also knew that desperate actions under such urgent situations were not a clever way.

Even in his heart, he was expecting breakthroughs in other places.

Qianlong did not make an unilateral advance.
Chapter completed!
