Chapter 84 Fighting
"Well, you have discussed it for so long and have some insights. Then, I'll say a few words." Nie Shicheng's voice sounded in the tent: "We are soldiers, especially our Dragon Banner Army, who have been tiring and trained for the emperor and are tired of training on weekdays. It is not as good as making contributions on the battlefield with real swords and guns. The old saying goes, "Superb soldiers for a thousand days, and use troops for a while. Now the Russians have bullied them at the doorstep. The court was unable to make up their minds before. Now the emperor and the emperor are in power and use troops on the frontiers. It is the time for us to make contributions!"
"The military gate is right! Do it!", a voice of seventy-eighths.
"Okay, I won't hide it from you. Nie can't say whether the emperor needs to fight this battle. But no matter what, we must ask the emperor to let us go! We usually eat double salary. If the country has something to do, Nie can't afford to lose this person. I believe you are the same." Nie Shicheng said: "Just just now, the leadership, the coordination, and the leadership have also expressed their opinions. They are all right. Nie just said, "We either want to be the turtle. As long as we go, we don't eat the Russians, we don't want to mess around, just wipe our necks."
"Please see everyone!" Nie Shicheng was obviously calling everyone to see something, and everyone started to move. I was curious and stopped the person who wanted to report it. I also walked in. I saw a group of officers forming a circle. I didn't know what they were watching, and no one noticed me.
I also smiled and saw a sand table in the center. According to the conditions of the border, the Rehe River, Aihui, Sixty-Four Tun, and Hailanpao on the other side were spread out.
"The other side is more than 20,000 Russians. According to the information of Lord Yiketang A, Hailanpao stationed 9,000 infantrymen, and all artillery fire was also concentrated here. Sixty-four garrisons were more than 5,000 cavalry stationed. The rest of the troops were not explained. I think it was impossible for us to estimate. According to Nie's view, this is a surprise soldier. How the enemy uses these six or seven thousand troops is a problem. Others are responsible for these. What Nie wants to invite the emperor is based on our manpower-" He paused and said in a more stressful tone: "Eat this 4,000 of his people! We will eat 12,000 and eat 14, do you have confidence?"
"have!"
"Okay!" Nie Shicheng drew a horizontal line along the river at the Heihe River and said, "This is Heilongjiang, now it is frozen. The enemy's Cossack cavalry can cross it at any time. We cannot defend along the river. Xu Shichang, Duan Qirui, and your two artillery battalions must retreat twenty miles to set up defenses."
"Get orders!"
"Feng Guozhang, your cavalry battalion is on standby behind the cannon camp. Cao Kun, Wang Shizhen, your infantry battalion each sets defense on both sides, and everyone has wiped the guns for me. The cavalry patriarch is named Liu. Your last chance for this matter... Emperor!" Nie Shicheng raised his head and suddenly saw me. He was stunned and saluted with a slap.
"Well, you continue to say it." I smiled and asked them to accept the gift, "I have been here for a long time, and I have heard you. I am very happy that you have contributed to the country and share my worries. However, this time, I have to respect and respect others, and I also have the Jianrui Camp for the vanguard of the Knight Camp. I know that you are not fearful of death. This is a good thing. There are more than 70,000 people on my side, and more than 100,000 people on my side, if more than 100,000 people on my side, I will be considered a tyrant. In short, if you fight, you will fight. I will consider it if you want to fight."
He smiled and said, "Which is Xu Shichang? Your military songs are good, you have already given a kind order. I will reward you with the title of leadership. Are you a scholar?"
"Thank you for your grace and reply to your words. I am a Jinshi in the 14th year of Guangxu and an editor who was given grace. Although I am a scholar, I also have the ambition to serve the country. Therefore, the emperor is preparing to build the Dragon Banner Army, so I asked to be transferred to the army to serve and take charge of the artillery camp." Xu Shichang was in his thirties and looked a little melancholy. He listened to my questions and talked quietly, and was completely different from the soldiers under his command.
Nie Shicheng added from the side: "Master, Xu Shichang is very talented. He basically teaches the military songs in the army. His artillery soldiers are a little more knowledgeable about literature and science, and they teach more elegantly. Xu Shichang also teaches some rough songs, which are appreciated by both the elite and the masses."
"Haha." I laughed and said, "What a reward for both the elite and the masses. I have already rewarded you today. Fight hard, and I will reward you after going back. You are my personal army. I have said that I will at least be granted a marquis this time. It is best not to be a marquis. You can fight me well! It is good not to be a marquis if you don't have a marquis, and you can get a viscount if you don't have a marquis. According to the rules of the Qing Dynasty, the viscount or above, the palace can be called a palace. You can also return to your hometown with glory and say you can return to the palace!"
"Your Majesty, isn't that...*!?" A rough voice came. When I turned around, I saw Feng Guozhang that I had seen that day.
There was a burst of laughter in the tent. I couldn't help but laugh and said to him: "Well, that's right, Master Feng, you can fight me well, and you will be back..." I couldn't help but swear, "Go back to you, go..."
"Hahahaha." Another burst of laughter, and the restrained atmosphere just now was wiped out.
The next morning, and it was only at noon that I could barely arrive at Nenjiang Prefecture. As soon as I arrived at Nenjiang Prefecture, the first thing I did was to ask about the displacement and defense of Yiketang Apao. He replied that he had sent someone to the Heilongjiang front line to notify him, and he was relieved.
During the conversation, Ikedo's face was gloomy and gloomy. I knew that something new happened. After asking, I learned that the enemy's artillery detectives learned that they were far better than us. It seemed that they had planned before the war. While Vladivostok had not frozen, they went out of the Mediterranean from the Black Sea and went around India through the Suez Canal, and the Indochina Peninsula was transported to Vladivostok through the Japanese Strait.
Because the Far East and West Siberia Railway has not been repaired yet, and when the weather conditions are not very good, there is only one way to transport heavy equipment on a large scale, and there is no other way.
Of course, it is also possible that he was determined to use troops against China last summer, so he completed the firepower accumulation on land early, and it was not revealed until recently. However, from now on, there is absolutely no chance to obtain new supplies. If you want to replenish supplies, there is only one way to choose from, that is, to walk from the Strait of Japan. With the patrol of the Sino-British Joint Fleet and the Royal Chinese Navy, walking from here is no different from suicide. Moreover, Vladivostok is now frozen, so the trouble is self-evident.
