MTL - Han’s Son is Not a Slave-Chapter 1126 Wu 3gui is only 1 aha
The Henan battle report was sent expeditedly from 800 miles. Six days ago, Ao Bai led the main force of the Qing army in a fierce battle with the Wu army general Guo Zhuangtu in the Xuanwuwei area in the southwest of Kaifeng. In this battle, Guo Zhuangtu lost in the end, the general Wang Pingfan was killed in the battle, and the Wu army was killed and wounded more than 40,000 people.
Putting down the battle report, Zhou Shixiang was a little sad. Although Wu Sangui's anti-Qing campaign was not his original intention, but was forced by the situation and had a great speculative element, it is undeniable that Guan Ning's army has replaced the Taiping army as the main force in the anti-Qing Dynasty. In the past, those generals who followed Wu Sangui for the Qing court's role as a tiger, now also became anti-Qing heroes. Their deaths were somewhat tragic heroes. Perhaps, dying under the sword of the Qing army was also a manifestation of their atonement for the sins of the first half of their lives.
In some respects, the Taiping Army was very similar to the Guanning Army, and most of its members were from the original Qing army. Therefore, in terms of morality, the Taiping Army is not much higher than the Guanning Army. The difference is that from the very beginning of its establishment, the Taiping Army has always fought on the front line of the war against the Qing Dynasty. Guan Ningjun, however, speculated after the Qing court was already weak, and re-launched the banner of Fuming.
In this alone, Guan Ning's army is far inferior to the Taiping army. But in any case, both the Taiping Army and the Guan Ning Army are now Han Chinese forces who are anti-Qing, and the Guan Ning Army is on the front line of the anti-Qing war, replacing the main role played by the Taiping Army in the past. Zhou Shixiang, as the head coach of the Taiping Army, as an anti-Qing hero who has always regarded the destruction of Tatar as his own responsibility, dragged Guan Ning's army behind his back and indirectly helped the Qing Dynasty. In any case, it was disgraceful and criticized.
Therefore, after learning that Wang Pingfan and other generals of the Wu army died in battle, Zhou Shixiang felt somewhat guilty and sad. He felt that even if these people would become enemies with him in the future, that was the future. Now, these people are fighting against the Qing army, and they are members of the anti-Qing army. The things they do secretly are always wrong to them.
The details of the Battle of Xuanwu were also reported by the personnel of the Henan Military Intelligence Department. Zhou Shixiang was sighed by the death of a large number of senior generals of the Wu army, but two of them shocked him.
One is that the production method of the "unconscionable cannon" used by the Taiping Army in the Battle of Yangzhou somehow fell into the hands of Ao Bai. The "unconscience cannon" appeared in the Qing army in several battles, causing casualties to the Wu army. heavy. The second is that Zhao Liangdong and others who surrendered to Wu Sangui in Shaanxi surrendered to the Qing again.
The "No Conscience Cannon" was developed by the Ordnance Bureau according to the drawings given by Zhou Shixiang, and was used for the first time in the Yangzhou War. It was the appearance of "No Conscience" that made the Taiping Army finally win the war. Therefore, it can be ruled out that the leak of "unconscionable" was before the Battle of Yangzhou. Considering the large-scale use of "unconscionable cannons" by the Qing army in the battle against the Guanning Army, it is certain that the Qing army mass-produced "unconscientious" "Cannon" is around the New Year's Eve, and the "unconscionable" drawings should be obtained a month or two before.
"About unconscionable leaks, you should ask the Military Intelligence Department to investigate immediately. The key point is the Ordnance Bureau. Let Cheng Hanbin also investigate suspicious people immediately. Be sure to find out the thief who leaked the secret."
Zhou Shixiang was not annoyed that the Qing army had learned the production method of "unconscionable cannons". After all, the design of "conscienceless cannons" was extremely simple, and there was not even any "technical" factor, but the lethality was extremely powerful. Sooner or later, the Qing army suffered a great loss. They will also master the production method of "unconscionable cannons". After all, the current Qing army is not the Qing army two hundred years later. They are still very good at learning new tactics and using new weapons.
What Zhou Shixiang hated was that some of his subordinates colluded with the Qing court secretly to leak military intelligence.
The forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds.
Just like those Jiangnan gentry who participated in the riots and the landlords who fled north with their families and formed some kind of "hometown group", these people have no national righteousness at all, and some only have their own interests. For so-called gentry privileges, they were able to shave their hair and dress easily. Similarly, for the privilege of the gentry, they also secretly supported the anti-Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty. Now, for the lost privilege, they reconnected the broken braids. Capricious, only for self-interest, this is the gentry of the so-called foundation of governance.
After the establishment of the Ordnance Bureau, all relevant personnel were recruited by Cheng Hanbin. Because Cheng Hanbin himself was a Confucian scholar, there would definitely be a group of scholars who had connections with Jiangnan gentry. The Taiping Army vigorously attacked the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River. It is difficult to say whether it will attack the interests of the people in the Ordnance Bureau.
However, it is still uncertain whether it was someone in the Ordnance Bureau who leaked the secret or the Taiping Army, so Zhou Shixiang only wanted the Department of Military Intelligence and the Ordnance Bureau Ambassador Cheng Hanbin to conduct a thorough investigation in secret, so as not to make a lot of noise, so as not to attract people's hearts.
Zhou Shixiang was very familiar with Zhao Liangdong. At the beginning, he also specifically asked Zhang Yong if Zhao Liangdong was a bearded man, but he confused Zhang Yong inexplicably. After hearing that Zhao Liangdong had surrendered to Wu Sangui, Zhou Shixiang, like Wu Sangui who had heard that Zhang Yong had surrendered to the Taiping Army, was also regretful. It's just that he couldn't figure out why Zhao Liangdong, who was already in the wrong, would turn around and serve the Manchu Tartars again.
On that day, Zhao Liangdong and Wang Pingfan had a conversation in front of the army, but the personnel of the Henan Military Intelligence Division had a relatively low status in the Qing army and Wu army, and it was impossible to find out what the two men said. They only know that Zhao Liangdong led Manchu soldiers to surround Wang Pingfan's army, Wang Pingfan refused to surrender, and finally killed himself, becoming the highest general of Guan Ning's army who died in action anyway.
In addition to Zhao Liangdong, there are many generals of the Wu army who surrendered to the Qing again, such as Li Rubi, Wang Hui and others. Some of them were generals of the Guan Ning Army, and some were the former Daxi Army and Ming Army who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty in the southwest.
Su Bai, who was the first to defect, was originally a Manchurian general in Xi'an, an authentic bannerman. Wu Sangui might not understand his betrayal, but Zhou Shixiang could.
"Wu Sangui was wrong from the beginning."
Zhou Shi said this to Xu Yingyuan, the latter was confused and didn't understand why Wu Sangui was wrong from the beginning. From a strategic point of view, Wu Sangui went from Yunnan to Guizhou, then went out of Sichuan and entered Shaanxi, took Tongguan, and entered the Central Plains. Taking advantage of the Taiping Army and the main forces of the Manchu Qing Dynasty fighting to death in Jiangbei, they took all the northwest and marched into the Central Plains. It can be said to be the first step by step. If it weren't for the actions of the commander and several parties, Kaifeng would have been lost long ago. Why was it wrong?
"What I said was wrong was not that Wu Sangui's deployment was wrong, but that he employed the wrong people."
Zhou Shixiang walked to the window with his hands behind his back, and outside was Yang Xu who was like flying snow. Occasionally Yang Xu floated to his face, which made people very uncomfortable. Zhou Shixiang scolded Jiang Guozhu secretly in his heart, because after Jiang Guozhu became governor of Jiangning, he vigorously planted poplar trees all over the south of the Yangtze River. As a result, after the poplar trees grew, the poplars flew all over the sky every year, which was very annoying.
"Wu Sangui is a hero, but he is still a slave at heart."
After gently blowing off Yang Xu who fell on his hand~www.novelbuddy.com~ Zhou Shixiang sneered and continued: "Wu Sangui raised an army against the Qing, and his subordinates were hesitant. After winning Xi'an, if I were Wu Sangui, The more than 20,000 Tartars in the whole city are just used as the names of the subordinates. Everyone is bloody, and there is no way back, so they can follow him all the way. It is good that he not only did not deal with these Tartars, but will surrender. The Manchu soldiers continued to be handed over to Subai. Well, he thought that he was so generous and benevolent to the Manchus, that the Manchus would definitely appreciate his gratitude, and the resistance of the Manchus would be less when they hit Beijing in the future. .
The abacus was good, but Wu Sangui never thought about it. If he can play a triumphant song all the way, it will be fine. If there is a little setback, can these soldiers be willing to work for him? ...Don't forget, in the eyes of these Manchu soldiers, Wu Sangui is just a servant even if he is the king of Pingxi... Oh, yes, I almost forgot, in the eyes of the people, we Han people are not even as servants of. If I really want to say, this Wu Sangui is in the eyes of Manchu people, that is, an Aha, an Aha who leads troops to fight. Why should the masters work for an Aha? "
"Wu Sangui treats the Manchu people kindly, the harm outweighs the benefit. Don't say that the former Manchu masters will not sincerely work for him, even the generals under him will still have the heart of Qin Muchu. Those who are not directly related, I am afraid that everyone has the intention to wait and see. For people like Zhao Liangdong, if Wu Sangui drove them to slaughter the whole city of Xi'an, do you think he will surrender again?"
Xu Yingyuan thought for a while, and said, "I heard that Xi'an had surrendered voluntarily that day."
"Could it be that because the enemy surrendered voluntarily, we should let them go and treat them kindly?" Zhou Shixiang rolled his eyes at Xu Yingyuan, "The Tartars entered my house and killed my parents, wife and children. I rose up to resist, but the Tartars couldn't beat them and beg for mercy, what do you say? Do I forgive them or not?"
