Chapter 1601 Kill the chicken to warn the monkey

ps: Thank you to book friends "20171201200734129" and "Youshui Yichuan" for your reward.

Most of the conditions proposed by Jiang Quanyi were spoken by a lion, but it was not a fantasy. Lan Bai himself could not accept it, but the conditions that the Qing court might have agreed to made Lan Bai feel a pity for attacking and a tasteless harvest.

There are two reasons why Lan Bai did not attack. One is to reduce casualties. At the city of Haizhou, the casualties of his troops were much greater than that of Jiang Quanyi's troops. Even if these thousand people were destroyed, it would be a draw at most.

The Qing army had tens of thousands of people, including the Yellow Banners, the New Army, and Lan Bai's own private soldiers (all the Manchu flags have talented private soldiers), and they attacked the few with more attacks and became like this. Even if they captured the small Haizhou city, it would not be a contribution, but instead highlighted Lan Bai's incompetence.

But if we can force the Northern Expedition Army in front of us, the meaning will be different.

Since the establishment of the Northern Expedition Army and the war between the north and the south, the Northern Expedition Army has been captured, but there has never been a large number of surrendered troops, especially thousands of troops like this.

If Lan Bai succeeds in forcing the surrender, the contribution will be much greater than breaking a small Haizhou city.

The second reason for not attacking was that Lan Bai really didn't want to see it again. The firearms in the defenders' hands were thrown onto his own army. To be honest, the firearms of the Northern Expedition Army made Lan Bai's heart a shadow.

If you can force you to subvert, then these firearms can be put into your own hands, one will be reduced and the other will be increased. This simple algorithm can still be understood even if you don’t know a lot of words.

A strange scene happened. The defenders of only a thousand men were surrounded by Qing corps three or four miles away from the city. The two were less than a hundred steps apart and they did not fight.

You know, not long ago, the defenders drove the Qing army like ducks. The two sides fought to the point of red-eyedness. At this time, both sides continued to send envoys, and they were coming and going, as if they were friendly troops.

It can be said that it is the greatest in the world, and it is full of wonders.

Amazing!

....

Jiang Quanyi was at this time the biggest questioned by his soldiers since he took office as commander of the Taizhou Guard.

His authority was challenged.

I have to say that in the hearts of the soldiers, Jiang Quanyi is a monument, sacred and powerful.

Because of this, the soldiers were willing to be driven by Jiang Quanyi. They knew they could not do it and followed Jiang Quanyi with their lives. To achieve something means to make achievements and win them.

But the word surrender made the soldiers dare not even think about it.

The benefits of the Northern Expedition Army were very good, so good that even the Qing army envied, but the Northern Expedition Army's military discipline was stricter, and it was okay to die in battle, but surrender was not accurate, otherwise it would affect the family.

For example, if a soldier from the Northern Expedition Army is one soldier, his whole family is exempted from taxes, and his son is free of charge. If he dies in battle, the pension is not included, he can also be admitted to the military academy by one. He will be an officer and so on.

But if the battlefield surrenders, the punishment will be even heavier. If the exemption of taxes and children who enter school are persuaded to withdraw, the family will be blacklisted. As long as the General's Mansion exists for one day, it will be impossible to have a day to make a comeback.

This is not the most severe. The most severe comes from neighbors and Jiangnan prefectures. They have been in operation for nearly six years, and people's hearts have begun to change. In addition, students from the three major universities talked to Han Ming for half a month to public opinion... If someone really surrendered, his family would probably have a good life.

So, even if everyone understands that Jiang Quanyi is perfunctory, some people will jump out and accuse Jiang Quanyi, and receive a response from the soldiers of the entire army.

"I would rather die while standing than live on my knees!"

The soldiers strongly opposed Jiang Quanyi and Lan Bai's peace with their roars.

Looking at the angry faces, Jiang Quanyi was helpless.

He knew that at this time, military law was not working well, and it was also true that all laws were only valid for those who were willing to abide by the law.

Jiang Quanyi, who had always ordered the Dharma to come out, finally compromised in front of his soldiers. He ordered that he would break eastward at midnight.

God knows what kind of tragic phenomenon will it be if the enemy has been surrounded like a bucket on the battlefield, without any concealment. Besides, how can the enemy break through with cavalry?

This is to die, my brothers! Jiang Quanyi roared in his heart with sadness, but at this time he was really helpless.

At this time, it will be dark and it will take about three hours to go.

Perhaps God heard the prayer in Jiang Quanyi's heart.

Someone came, he, changed and turned everything around.

....

The name of a person, the shadow of a tree.

Chen Zhiyuan was not famous in the Northern Expedition Army, and was even despised by the soldiers because he joined the Qing court and led his army to attack Tongzhou.

But Chen Zhiyuan was still in the Qing army sequence and was still very prosperous.

It’s not that Chen Zhiyuan was famous for fighting the Qing court, nor that he married a princess who was the prince, but that Chen Zhiyuan knew how to be a human being.

As early as when the Qing court had newly built the first firearm camp, Chen Zhiyuan could "sell" the Qing court and Qian Qiaogong's eight beauties, and exchange it for money to subsidize the soldiers.

Such a general may not be recognized by his superiors, but he will definitely be able to win the hearts of his soldiers.

Therefore, in the evening, Chen Zhiyuan, who came from Ziyang with dozens of elite cavalry, was happily rushed up by the New Army soldiers when he approached the periphery of the Qing army. This was a kind of fit between hearts. The soldiers might disobey, but they would definitely do something for him that they should not do, and this is the heart of the people.

"Why is the general coming?" A deputy general of the new army rushed over after hearing the news.

Chen Zhiyuan chatted with the soldiers with a smile, asking questions from the east.

But when this deputy general came, Chen Zhiyuan's face suddenly sank, "Take it!"

Take it down?

Who should I take?

When the soldiers were speechless, the escort beside Chen Zhiyuan quickly stepped forward and pressed the deputy general to the ground.

"What is the general going to do? What crime did the humble official commit?" the deputy general shouted in panic.

Chen Zhiyuan slowly walked to him, "Who am I? Who are you?"

"The general is the new army's Du Gun, and Bei Yi is the general's deputy general..."

"Do you still know I'm Du Gun?" Chen Zhiyuan said happily, "Who gave you the order to mobilize the new army to attack Haizhou? Why is this general unaware? Who are you responsible to? Who are you obeying the order?"

A series of problems made the deputy general feel uncomfortable.

Chen Zhiyuan's face froze and shouted, "Drag it aside... it's chopped!"

This is the power of the main general, the deputy general of the 30,000 new army, the fourth-rank military post, and the chopping is as he says.

Chen Zhiyuan's escort immediately dragged the deputy general to the side. At this time, the deputy general collapsed. He hissed: "General... He was wronged and mobilized the new army. It was... the prince who personally issued an order..."

Chen Zhiyuan's face twitched, he slowly turned his head and said in a deep voice: "What are you waiting for...kill!"

"The humble position is wronged... wronged..."

Before the word "单" could be released, a knife fell, and a head fell to the ground.

Hundreds of New Army soldiers watching were so shocked that they didn't even dare to breathe.
Chapter completed!
