However, Zhao E didn’t know that it was not the same concept that Zhao Dongyun led the new army and Daming and Zhengding practiced the army.
"Brother Zhao, I’ll go back to the camp to prepare, and please help my brother with logistics supplies!" Zhao Dongyun didn’t stay long, but left Zhao E soon.
After he returned to the temporary barracks, he called several chiefs in the army to discuss the military situation. Zhao Dongyun temporarily lived in the main hall of the courtyard and had already sat seven people.
The field is full of Zhao Dong Yunshou backbone officers, such as two deputies, team leaders, cavalry leaders Wu Changlan and others.
"Just now, it was reported from the north that the bandits had taken the oath to raise the flag and gather ten thousand people!" Zhao Dongyun said after a white talk, "What do you think of this?"
Li Zejun, the second-in-command of Zhao Dong Cloud Hand, said, "We have been looking for them. Now that they have taken the initiative, we should immediately send troops to gather them and annihilate them!"
At this time, Lin Yong also said, "How do you send troops to suppress it?" How many troops do you need to get together? "
Lin Yong asked himself and answered, "According to the Ministry’s view, we should lead the main force to directly round up the fleeing gangsters after they are defeated!"
"In this case, the risk is still relatively high. It won’t be long before they are defeated, and they will gather together again. We should still stabilize the situation, slowly March from all sides, and finally gather and kill every one!" This is Gu Qizhi, the leader of the second battalion right team. There is biting in his words.
"March in all directions? Where do we have so many troops? At present, our army’s Guangzong County is only a hundred people at the very most. Even if we send back the clearing whistle sent to him in several directions, there will be a thousand people in their early days. It is no problem for us to defeat more than 10,000 gangsters with a thousand people, but how can we completely surround them? " Speaking is Wu Changlan of the cavalry.
Then there are a lot of people who insist on directly defeating the gangsters, and some people insist on encircling and gathering and fighting. It is also difficult to decide if Zhao Dongyun will argue with his subordinates again.
They said it was clear that they had too few troops, and if they split up, they might not be able to encircle the more than 10,000 bandits, but if they didn’t split up and directly defeat the bandits, it would be predictable that they would be able to defeat the bandits at most in a few days.
At this time, Zhao Dongyun has been taking the minutes of the meeting. Zhao Dongping said, "We can’t split up and ask us to rush into the enemy line and then catch Jing Tingbin, so we won’t be afraid of those scattered soldiers!"
Hear this Zhao Dongyun is also a cold heart!
Yes, at present, these gangsters are not habitual bandits or refugees. They are just fools bewitched by the Lian Zhuang Association and the Boxer Rebellion. Killing them won’t solve the problem. The root cause is that Jing Tingbin and the Boxer Rebels will be able to bewitch more villagers to participate in it in a few days.
And if you want to completely destroy Guangzong uprising, you must kill Jing Tingbin, Sanduo Zhao and other leaders. They are all left behind. If you can’t do it, it is difficult to completely parallel this uprising.
After thinking of this, Zhao Dong Yun no longer hesitated. "Order Bi Xiaoqiang to quickly move south to the eastern part of the village to cooperate with my main force to attack the bandits in the village!"
Immediately, he added, "Immediately order the patrol troops to rush back to Guangzong City to prepare for the war and March into the village with me!"
Chapter 27 Ambush
On April 23, after Jing Tingbin and Sanduo Zhao got the news that they had gathered more than 10,000 people in a village, Zhao Dong Cloud immediately gathered and sent out troops and prepared them for suppression.
Early the next morning, people in Guangzong County found that the fake foreign ghosts of the city brigade walked out of the city in neat formation and went straight to the northeast. Most people knew what had happened, but there were also a few white people.
"Did you hear that Jing Tingbin and his gang raised the flag in the north yesterday? These armies are just going to fight them!"
In addition, there are also several members of the Lianzhuang Association who secretly left the city after seeing the new army leaving the city one after another, and then rode fast horses outside the city to try to inform the village.
It’s not these small things, but Zhao Dongyun is wearing the same clothes today as when he led the army. He often rides his batch of white high-headed horses with long boots, and the command knife that never leaves his body still hangs around his waist.
When Zhao Dongyun personally led the infantry, machine guns and other main forces to the north, Wu Changlan’s cavalry was already in the former north. They had to travel to both sides of the main force after going out for investigation to prevent being attacked by rebels. Because of this, Zhao Dongyun was also somewhat worried that more than 100 people in the cavalry ordered them to strengthen two machine guns. Anyway, many horses in the cavalry directly split the machine guns, but they could carry high-speed maneuvers.
The cavalry went out before, while Zhao Dongyun’s main force kept advancing rapidly and pushed into the village.
By ten o’clock in the afternoon, the cavalry reported that they had found a large number of bandits in Dongzhao Village. It was suspected that a thousand people and half an hour later, the cavalry again reported that Wu Changlan led an attack on the bandits, killing and injuring more than 100 people and the enemy scattered eastward!
Zhao Dongyun didn’t feel much after hearing the news. More than 100 elite cavalry equipment is the most advanced riding gun and machine gun, and it is the most popular cavalry operation method at present. If we still can’t guard Dongzhao Village with thousands of refugees, then this battle will not be fought.
However, this news is nothing for Zhao Dongyun to take for granted, but the same news surprised Jing Tingbin and others after arriving at the village.
"More than one thousand rebels so lost? Didn’t even resist for half an hour? " JingTingBin some can’t believe the news.
Aside, Sanduo Zhao also frowned. "Although our rebels are not well equipped, their morale is high. Many congregations are even more fierce and not afraid of death. How can they lose so fast!"
According to Jing Tingbin and Sanduo Zhao, it is normal for more than 1,000 people to keep Dongzhao Village, but this normal is before Zhao Dongyun led the main attack.
Referring to the example of Nanhe County’s rebel army’s crushing defeat of Shunde’s Qing army, it is possible to call the rebel army there to win by algorithm, but it can still be done when the Qing army is stopped for a few days. With this buffer, they can pull up more people and form a group with the rebels in wei county and Nanhe.
When the whole Shunde rebel army is linked, the whole game will be able to live. At that time, there will be at least 50,000 or 60,000 rebels, and the Qing army can’t stand them with thousands of troops.
The longer the delay is, the better it will be for them, because then they will have more time to expand their power. Every day the Qing army is delayed, the number of them will increase by thousands, not to mention that the situation in the south of Zhili is serious now. A little Mars will ignite a terrible fire. What they want to do is to become Mars and look forward to igniting Xiong Lie’s uprising in Zhili, Shandong and Henan.
No, it’s what they think. This kind of thing has a great chance of success!
It is an important reason that the xenophobic mentality of the northern people towards foreigners occurs from time to time. In addition, the living standards of the northern people have dropped sharply in recent years.
In recent years, the climate in Zhili, Shandong, Henan and other places is not so good, and when there are crop failures in many places, natural disasters have always been the high incidence of peasant uprisings. Of course, this is not the main reason. Now China is not the last time. In recent years, the whole area of China has not suffered from large-scale natural disasters, so even if some areas in the north are affected, the imperial court can dispatch food relief centers from other places. The problem of natural disasters is not serious.
Among the reasons that caused the peasant uprising in the late Qing Dynasty, this can be regarded as one of the reasons, and it is not the main reason. The main reason that really led to a large number of peasant uprisings in the north around the Geng Year was foreigners.
In the early stage, the people’s attitude towards foreigners was hostile to foreigners, including lesson plans and rumors, such as foreigners eating raw children and pregnant women’s flesh and blood to build churches, which led to great panic among the people and the temptation of people who were worthy of their hearts, thus forming the boxer rebellion in the Year of Geng.
In the later period, that is, after the Year of Geng, there is also a foreign tax factor in addition to the aforementioned religious plans and rumors
Foreign taxes, that is, reparations to foreign powers in the Year of Geng, naturally can’t be paid by opening one’s mouth. If the Qing court wants reparations, it needs to collect more taxes, which will inevitably increase the burden on the people. Jingtingbin Lianzhuang Association is a rebel organization that has developed with the goal of resisting taxes.
When these anti-tax targets, the Lianzhuang Association or other peasant organizations mixed with the Boxer Rebellion, it was logical to develop large-scale riots and uprisings.
From these angles, it can be concluded that in 192, the northern region was a mass uprising base, and all they needed was a little Mars, while Jing Tingbin and Sanduo Zhao acted as the little Mars that started a prairie fire!
