At this time, Yang Feng's control area was equivalent to that between the four points of Qingyuan, Zhaoqing, Xinhui and Dongguan, and almost all the entire Pearl River Delta with Guangzhou as the core were controlled by him.

The Qing army was surrounded by heavy troops.

However, the Qing army in Huizhou was unable to attack at all. Chen Huacheng was trapped in Huizhou and was eagerly waiting for rescue. However, the Fujian and Zhejiang army of Wei Yuanying who reinforced him were beaten by Luo Dagang in Jieyang. With a sentry at the First Brigade as the core, it was equipped with a smoothbore gun and a small number of rifled guns, plus a large number of mountain-splitting cannons. Then the Fourth Brigade, which was trained in line with infantry, easily defeated the Qing army that attacked them. The Ming soldiers who had just been in a state of passion because of land reform, beat the Fujian and Zhejiang green camps that were purely vague...

In fact, the latter was also defeated by a blow.

At this time, no matter the Eight Banners or the Green Camp, it was rare to collapse without any touch. By the way, they could not even do things in front of the Taiping Army, but of course they could not do in front of the Ming army's rifles and cannons.

So this direction can be ignored.

There is no need to worry about Kaiping direction. Xinhui is Yang Feng's old base, and there is actually no Qing army there. It is mainly local regiments who are in the guards. These local regiments are building a large number of bunkers in Kaiping. They have never thought of attacking Xinhui. They are mainly used to suppress the people. If they dare to step out of those bunkers, they don't have to wait for them to arrive at Xinhui. The poor people who have been withstood for half a year in Kaiping will immediately conquer the gentry's families from the back.

They were really impatient.

So there is no danger in this direction.

Next is Zhaoqing.

Just during the previous battle in Guangzhou, the poor people in Zhaoqing also raised their troops to control the city. Then the Zhaoqing prefect and officials fled to Dong'an, and met with reinforcements from the Guangxi Admiral Ma Dianjia in Dong'an, and then counterattacked Zhaoqing. As a result, they just started to attack the city. An infantry battalion sent by Yang Feng to receive arrived in Zhaoqing. Then the battalion immediately launched a counterattack against the Qing army that was sieging the city. When the 20,000 Qing troops saw the Ming army, they shouted "Yang Yaoren" and they collapsed without even fighting...

By the way, this is already the norm on the battlefield.

After seeing the red color, the Qing army basically turned around and ran away instinctively.

At this time, Ma Palace Armor was probably still catching the defeated soldiers!

You can also ignore this journey.

The real threat to Yang Feng was the Huguang Army heading south from Shaoguan. This enemy was led by Hunan Admiral Xiangfu, and the core was the Green Camp transferred from the Zhenzi. The Phoenix Soldiers were still worth noting, especially Sichuan. The Qing army in Hubei was also joining this direction. The Green Camp in Sichuan was also somewhat combat-effective, so Qingyuan will be the main battlefield for the next step. In order to ensure the situation, Yang Feng transferred all the Third Brigade, mainly soldiers in Xinhui, to Qingyuan, including the newly formed Artillery Brigade, and the two battalions of the First Infantry Brigade drew three posts as backbones. In addition, the new recruits selected from the volunteers were expanded to six brigades, and recruited new recruits to supplement the First Brigade for mobile reinforcements. This configuration is fine for pure defense. Anyway, there is a Pearl River water system shipping.

If you defend the four points well, you can carry out large-scale land reforms within.

It's not just land reform.

We have to suppress the internal rebellion because this time the expansion was too fast, leaving too many hidden dangers. For example, many places were not attacked at all, and those landlord armed forces with bunkers as the core still exist in large numbers, especially in the Zhaoqing, Qingyuan and Dongguan areas, which were completely seized by the poor, the strength of the landlords was not completely cleaned up, and they even resisted the Ming army under the banner of Qing officials. These all require time to be resolved.

In fact, they were more troublesome than the Qing army.

They also happened to give the newly-organized infantry brigades to practice.

Line infantry is not modern infantry, and it doesn’t take too long to train. Basically, it’s enough to be able to stand in a team and shoot. There was no training during the Napoleonic War. Just fire a gun and fire. If the queue is not neat, is there a whip? If others do whatever they do, they can rush forward and aim. In this way, those veterans who are backbone will be led by them, and they will train while fighting. After the landlords’ armed forces will basically form an army.

Speaking of which, the landlords' bunkers could not withstand the cannons.

This time, Yang Feng seized countless cannons, with hundreds of cannons on the Humen Fortress alone, and even the cannons on the sinking Druid were made, as well as Guangzhou city defenses, defenses from various counties and cities, and those abandoned by the green camps when they were defeated. Before, Deng Tingzhen launched the cannons cast in Foshan by gentry, and Yang Feng was not short of cannons at all. Of course, he actually did not lack rifles. The Qing army discarded tens of thousands of guns, and only a small number of these guns were purchased from the British flintlock rifles. Most of the remaining ones were shoddy clamps. The former could be modified into rifled guns, but the latter was a little troublesome to use to transform into rifled guns. Fortunately, it was not difficult to transform into flintlock smoothbore rifles, and the inner wall of the barrel he pulled out was smooth, so even the smoothbore rifle was not inferior to that produced in the UK. In this way, his new brigade was mixed with rifled smoothbore, equivalent to line infantry and hunters.

As for the fire hat firing, it is not possible for the time being.

Yang Feng didn't have so much raw materials and didn't have so much energy to continue making fire hats, so this batch of rifles could only be changed to flintlocks.

He is very busy now.

He had to transform these thousands of cannons and tens of thousands of guns himself. He also had to manufacture Thomas converters, steam-powered blowers, steel rolling equipment, steam-powered machine tools, especially machines that drill barrels and barrels, and machines that manufacture Minnie bullets...

By the way, his human 3D printer will also run at full capacity.

It is gratifying that he does not need to train additional workers.

Even he did not expect that because he found tens of thousands of skilled workers in steel and machinery in Foshan. This modern city that has almost nothing to do with steel is the largest steel base in China in this era, and it is also the best. Its products are sold well in Southeast Asia. Although it is mainly pig iron products, tens of thousands of craftsmen who mainly use iron smelting, iron making and arms production for generations have helped Yang Feng to the greatest extent by relying on their familiarity with this industry, especially their rich experience and craftsmanship passed down from generation to generation.

You must know that they even know how to cast lost wax.

Yang Feng's steelmaking converter also has various new machinery, and the enthusiasm of turning over as a master to become a state-owned steel factory workers, especially the sharp surge in welfare and political status, which also made the poor craftsmen full of enthusiasm.

But even so, Yang Feng was not easy.

He also has to take charge of government affairs.

He also has to worry about land reforms everywhere.

In other words, a thousand-year-old monster like him has extremely rich experience and full of routines, otherwise he wouldn't be able to play.

Fortunately, he doesn't need to worry about military affairs.

Because the Qing army was so bad, this most important thing didn't require him to care about at all.

By the way, enemies like our Qing Dynasty are undoubtedly what everyone dreams of. The Qing army on various battlefields is not fighting at all, but purely to enrich the daily life of the Ming army.

Most of them are about to collapse at one touch or about to collapse without touch. They can insist on being able to line up after seeing the red color of the Ming army. That is already very respectable. It is most normal to turn around and run away immediately when you see the Ming army. It is not surprising that you just run away when you hear that the army arrives...

Even if they hear only rumors.

In short, just as Yang Feng was busy in Guangzhou day and night, the Qing army on various battlefields continued to defeat him in various postures to refresh his worldview. In the next three months, except for the town soldiers who initially launched a real charge against the Ming army, other Qing troops were forced to attack again and again, and then collapsed again and again.

There are dozens of battles in these three months!

However, the total number of casualties in the Ming army did not exceed single digits, and it was less than one-tenth of the casualties during the eradication of the landlords' armed forces. In each war, the Qing army basically invaded and then drove out. Then the Ming army began to line up at a distance that could be seen by each other. Then the Qing army turned around and ran away for no reason and trampled on each other. The bravest situation was that the Ming army fired a few guns at the other side with a rifled rifle and then started running.

Of course, the Qing army’s report to Daoguang was a great victory.

During this period, Qishan was dismissed.

He also directly killed the prison guard and put it in a cage to Beijing. After all, he lost Guangzhou. However, Yang Fang was given preferential treatment because he had been winning before. After all, Yang Fang still had the halo of famous generals of the Ziguang Pavilion, so he was dismissed from his post and returned home. The Guangdong battlefield was commanded by the new Guangzhou General and the imperial envoy Yishan. The latter also learned Yang Fang's tricks. No matter how many times he lost on the battlefield, this memorial must be a victory. Anyway, the Ming army did not expand outward, so this memorial is easy to compile. It is nothing more than the attack of the bandits and the beheading level. The bandits fled to the Turtle and Crazy City. The weather was not good, the army was plague, the amount of ammunition was insufficient, and the reinforcements were not all. In short, we have not captured the city yet, but we still defeated the bandits again and again to defeat their offensive.

Anyway, Daoguang could not know the real situation on the front line.

This was the routine in the Qing Dynasty.

In this way, in the complete falsification, even purely fictional good news, Daoguang looked at his beautiful country in the distant city of Beijing with satisfaction and longed for his peaceful and prosperous times.

The gentry from all over the country also breathed a sigh of relief.

Especially in Fujian, Zhejiang, Hunan, Jiangxi and Guangxi, those worried gentry can finally have a stable New Year.

The entire Qing Dynasty government and opposition were in the news of great victory and great victory, and entered the 19th year of Daoguang, that is, the 1839th year of the Western Liberation, and then...
