Chapter 183 Sudden Changes

The chapters that are updated in the middle of the night are usually anti-daoban chapters. I have tried to choose when it is late at night, and there are few people watching them at this time. Generally, anti-daoban chapters will be modified to the correct content at least half an hour.

It's okay to read on the computer, and it's okay to automatically subscribe with the mobile app. As long as I haven't clicked on the chapter before I modified it. Once I clicked on it, the wrong chapter content will be downloaded and entered into the mobile phone cache. At this time, even if I modify the mobile client, it is still the wrong content and will never change.

At this time, you can only download this chapter again. If it doesn’t work, you can only delete the book and remove it, and then add it again and put it on the shelves.

There are few people reading niche books, and daoban is rampant. There is no way, I can't make it if I don't do this, I'm sorry.

"Hurry, when you fight to Qinghe County, everyone will have meat to eat! You have money! Arrive within ten days, and one person will give you four silver dollars, and never break your promise!" On April 21, 1658, in the mudflats on the north bank of the Yellow River, more than 4,000 officers and soldiers of the 11th Division were marching hard.

Their new division commander is Bogdan, former director of the Heishui County Public Security Bureau and captain of the militia brigade. The reason why this Albanian was able to get into this position was due to Liang Xiangjian's strong recommendation. In addition, he served in the Heishui area for many years and had rich military experience (he raised troops to fight against the Ottomans when he was in Albania), so he took the throne of the 11th Division's temporary division commander.

After becoming the commander, he immediately, under the instruction of Liang Xiangjian, cut off the most unbearable 1,000 people in the division that were invincible and prepared to transport them to the local farming site. As for the vacant amount, it was supplemented by thousands of Shandan soldiers carefully selected from the four counties of Heishui to improve combat power, and at the same time, it also enhanced Liang's indirect influence on the division.

However, even if one thousand old and weak soldiers were replaced, the 11th Division of the temporary division was still a servant with very weak combat power. After all, the division was originally derived from the defeated generals of Huang Binqing's army in the Zhoushan Firefight (for this, it even made the troops of King Lu and the East Coast a little unhappy). The combat power was limited and the morale was even lower. In addition, the training time was short, so it was purely self-deception to say how much combat power had improved.

Fortunately, the battle in Huai'an Prefecture did not intend to use them as vanguards. Liao Xiaoyao, who was on the front line, was mainly composed of the 4th, 9th, and 10th divisions of the new army and the two brigades of the forward team. The total number of more than 10,000 soldiers was mostly old soldiers. He had very rich experience in his years of war. With them, as long as they were not besieged by several times the Qing green camp, they would not be wiped out by the navy.

Oh, by the way, in addition to the main force advancing along the Yellow River, there is also a partial division landing in the north at Guanhekou, including the two thousand left camp soldiers led by Yuan Bao of Dashun and He Daoning, as well as the six thousand land division soldiers of the King of Lu's troops. There are also more than 3,500 Zheng's naval officers and soldiers responsible for their logistics supplies.

This route is expected to dispatch about 8,000 soldiers (with 3,000 Korean soldiers). They will go up the Shuoguan River with the cooperation of the navy and enter Shuoxiang Lake (Shuoxiang Lake is not a complete Danshui Lake at this time, because the sea water is soaked and the river water injected in the Huanghuai River Basin, the surface is very wide, reaching thousands of square kilometers, and the water depth is sufficient), and seek opportunities to capture Shuyang and Suqian areas where the Qing army has weak forces. At the same time, they are warned that some Qing soldiers in the direction of Haizhou in the north may go south. Overall, the combat mission is not heavy.

The main legion of the South Road is composed of a stand-up team, a minion division, an imperial guard in the Korean Imperial Camp (about 3,000), a part of the Dashun Left Camp (about 2,000), a Guangdong Li Yuanyin team (about 8,000) and some technical troops on the east coast. The number of soldiers exceeded 30,000, and its strength was extremely strong. If we include the 9,000 naval officers and soldiers of the Lu King's army responsible for logistics transportation, the total strength of the South Road Army exceeded 420,000, which is extremely terrifying. As soon as Liao Xiaoyao took office, he launched a battle of such a scale, not only transported all the military reserves of the Hei Shui Development Team over the past two years to the front line, but also imposed war taxes in Ningbo Prefecture (the underground treasury on Khalin Island also paid part of the military expenditure in advance). Such a huge investment, if we cannot make up for it in Huai'an Prefecture, it has to be said that it will be a huge blow to Commander Liao's reputation.

Of course, Commander Liao would not let this happen! So, you saw the temporary 11th Division running wildly on the north bank of the Yellow River! On April 26, the division passed the 3,000 troops (the general was Gu Hong) of the Korean Imperial Camp that was struggling with difficulty, and went straight to the city of Andong County, Huai'an Prefecture. After failing to make a call, Bogdan ordered a forcibly siege and fought fiercely for half a day. After handing over the task of collecting the population to the Korean general who came to the Korean Army, Gu Hong, the temporary 11th Division continued to advance and headed straight to the important town of Qinghe County - the four thousand officers and soldiers in the entire division were thinking about the four silver dollars that were promised by the top.

...

Just when the main force of the Southern Route Army marched at an armed speed - although this speed was greatly slowed down by harsh traffic conditions (mile flats, swamps and rivers that were silted and difficult to move) - quickly conquered a series of Qing towns on both sides of the Yellow River, the Northern Route Army finally arrived on a boat to the west bank of Shuxiang Lake, and then prepared to enter Shuyang County to collect the population. The Qing army they faced along the way was even more empty, because most of the enemy troops in Jiangbei were concentrated in Yangzhou Prefecture, and Huaian Prefecture was very confidant, and the people on the east bank were harassed very little, so it was not difficult to understand that the empty troops were empty. Perhaps everyone could only meet the main force of the Qing army when they marched to Huaian City and Qingjiangpu.

On April 30, Bogdan's temporary 11th Division arrived in Qinghe County on the north bank of the Yellow River as scheduled. After learning that most of the soldiers in Qinghe County had been transferred to Qingjiangpu on the south bank for defense, the division suddenly burst into morale and occupied the still wealthy city without any effort. Then immediately began the forced relocation of supplies and personnel, which was considered a great contribution (picking up a big hole).

On the same day, after more than ten days of difficult marching, the main force had arrived at the eastern suburbs of Shanyang County (i.e. Huai'an Prefecture City). At this time, the 4,000 elite Shaanxi and Gansu troops, who were the vanguard, had already bypassed Shanyang County, which was guarding the door and killed, and defeated more than 3,000 Qing army green camps from Qingjiangpu as fast as possible. Then they advanced to Qingjiangpu, a famous grain transport node, and the morale of the Qing army fell sharply!

"Commander, the Qing army's military deployment in Huai'an Prefecture is in line with the rules, that is, heavy troops are deployed along the canal to ensure normal transportation. For example, there are more than 4,000 garrison troops in the four sluice gates such as Qingjiang, Fuxing, Xinzhuang, and Yifeng. There are more than 2,000 river defense soldiers on the Hongze Lake embankment. The Dahe Guards, who escorted the Lihe Canal south of Huai'an Prefecture, are unknown, but there are also thousands of people. In addition, most of the Qing army's troops are concentrated in Shanyang County and Qingjiangpu. The two places are at the same time, and the combined forces are estimated to be no less than 10,000. Therefore, we estimate that the Qing army has a total of more than 20,000 garrisons of the Green Camp and the Eight Banners in the surrounding area, but because our army's rapid advancement, it was not possible to assemble in time (in fact, it was impossible to assemble, and the areas they guarded were very important), which is extremely beneficial to our army.

Perhaps there are still some Qing troops in Shuyang, Suqian, Pizhou and Haizhou areas in the north, but it is impossible to go south in a hurry. Even if we go south in Shuyang, we will be blocked by our northern army. Therefore, we will have plenty of time to eat the big fat piece of Qingjiangpu." The staff members of the army surrounded Liao Xiaoyao in the simple temporary camp and said in an extremely excited tone: "Commander Liao, all 16 gunboats of the Navy have been opened into the Yellow River-Hongze Lake-Cannel for several days, and the Qing army's north-south canal transportation has been cut off in fact. If the subsequent navy (many of King Lu, many ships are still silting and pulling fibers in the Yellow River that are difficult to move, it is expected to take several days to arrive) again, this Hongze Lake is our world, and the Qing army will not even escape a ship..."

Liao Xiaoyao noticed that the staff used the term "fat meat" to describe Qingjiangpu, and he agreed with this because in a town like Qingjiangpu, many people on the east coast had gathered high-value goals that the East Coast had to seize quickly - such as Changying Cang, which stores grain transport (a annual storage of more than 700,000 shi of rice and wheat, managed by part of the prison guards located here), such as the three major banknotes that collect ship materials (a type of taxation), and the "Qingjiang Shipyard" located in Qingjiangpu Town (responsible for repairing and building grain ships, managed by part of the prison guards located here).

Especially the Qingjiang Shipyard was listed as the most valuable target for the first place by the Southern Theater Command before its expedition. This large-scale "state-owned enterprise" specializing in building and repairing canal ships was founded in the early Ming Dynasty and has always been the largest inland river bay shipyard. It is said that some treasure ships used by Zheng He to voyage to the West in his early years, which shows its strength.

The Qingjiang Shipyard has developed to this day and is extremely large in scale. It is divided into four major factories: Jingwei, Zhongdu, Zhili and Weihe. Among them, Jingwei Factory has 34 branches, Zhongdu Factory has 12 branches, Zhili Factory has 18 branches, Weihe Factory has 18 branches, and Weihe Factory has 82 branches, with nearly 10,000 craftsmen and officers. The factory shed is stretched out for more than ten miles, with an extremely large scale. About 600 large canal ships are built every year, with extremely strong technical strength and production capacity. Such a huge asset, how can the Hei Water Development Team sit on! It can be said that Commander Liao Xiaoyao can not attack Huai'an City, continuously transport grain, or even rob Changying Cang and Chaoguan, but he will never let the tens of thousands of people in the Qingjiang Shipyard (including family members) be moved away!

What? You said that the three major local shipyards already have more than 3,000 craftsmen, and their shipbuilding capabilities have become more and more abundant? Haha, that's the past! With the rapid development of the East Coast industry and commerce and maritime insurance industries, the society's demand for transport ships is increasing. Haven't you seen that South Railway Company and Air Canada are waving checkbooks to place orders to build ships one by one? In addition, trade in the Ottomans, some Persia, Oman, East African coasts and some Indian regions has gradually developed based on New China Island, and the annual trade volume has repeatedly hit new highs, which has a greater demand for ocean-going transport ships! Therefore, these tens of thousands of shipbuilders are very important. At least they are experienced and can only work in a short adaptation period. No wonder Shangfeng regards it as a huge property (valuation of more than 2 million yuan).

Thanks to the rapid advance of the naval gunboats on the east coast, thousands of canals moored in Qingjiangpu waiting for the gate were blocked in the river port. In the canal, Yellow River, Huaihe River and Hongze Lake, there were a large number of stranded canals in panic all day long. Some of them had been detained by people on the east coast, and most of them were forced into Hongze Lake by the naval gunboats on the east coast, becoming turtles in the jar.

There are hundreds of thousands of stones of rice and wheat in Changying's warehouse, countless silver taels in the cash gate, countless gold and silver goods in the grain ship, tens of thousands of craftsmen in the Qingjiang Shipyard and hundreds of thousands of people in the Qingjiang Pu. At this time, anyone who questioned Commander Liao's decision to send troops to Huaian Prefecture would probably be sprayed to death by the soldiers from the Hei Shui Development Team.
