Xunzhou Prefecture, Qing army camp.
The garrison generals of Yunnan, Guizhou, Hunan, Jiangxi, Guangdong, Sichuan, and the other six provinces received the transfer order. At the same time, they personally led half of the garrison troops in their provinces to Xunzhou, which was less than 200 kilometers away from Nanning, to gather.
After nearly 20 days of preparation, the 120,000 new Eight Banners Army and 80,000 Green Camp Han Army had been assembled. All the artillery from the south had been sent to the barracks.
The general leading the troops was Qianlong's favorite minister, a first-class loyal and brave duke, and the head of the Military and Political Affairs Office, Fu Heng.
This Fu Heng was not simple. He had a good military vision and was indeed a military talent. He was only 38 years old this year and was already an extremely important official. He commanded the pacification of Zhunggar and the Great Jinchuan and had outstanding military achievements.
The reason why Qianlong sent him to lead the troops to destroy the Yan Huang National Defense Force was because Fu Heng had a rigorous personality. He led his troops to fight steadily and would never be greedy for credit. Basically, there would not be any mistakes.
Fu Heng was just as Qianlong had expected. There were already 120,000 elite Eight Banners New Army, 80,000 Green Camp Han Army, and a large number of cannons, but he was still worried and had been sending spies to investigate the situation around Nanning.
"Great General, the scouts have reported that there are no other armed forces within a radius of 200 miles around Nan Ning except for the 10,000 troops led by Thief Zhu.”
After General Tuna of Dian Province finished his report, he couldn't help but ask,""Great General, when are we going to attack? If we delay any longer, not only will our morale gradually drop, but we will also have to feed ourselves. The rations of hundreds of thousands of people will also be a big problem.”
"That's right, Great General. The Zhu Bandits only have around 10,000 people. Although they are equipped with a large number of cannons and more advanced rifles and machine guns than us, we have 200,000 people.”
"In my opinion, if 200,000 troops charge up, we can destroy the Zhu bandits in less than a day!”
"It's better to be careful. Thief Zhu is very insidious, and Aliman fell into his ambush.”
"What's there to be afraid of? We've already made all the necessary preparations. So what if the Zhu Thief's cannons are sharp? He could take care of everything at the same time?”
"Great General, attack!"
Several other Manchu generals also voiced their agreement and suggested that they immediately launch an attack to crush Zhu Lingye with an invincible attitude.
In their eyes, if they could still lose against 200,000 or 10,000 people, they would just slit their throats. It would be a shame to live.
Fu Heng, who was sitting at the head of the table and deep in thought, slowly opened his eyes. A hint of seriousness flashed across his eyes.
"Everyone, the Zhu Thief is not scary. What is scary is that when he defeated Aliman, he sent a signal to the world that the Qing Dynasty is no longer the invincible Qing Dynasty. It is already so weak that a mere 10,000 people can shake the Qing Dynasty's rule.”
"The Emperor is afraid that ever since the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, the Han people who have never been willing to submit will regain their bloodlust!”
"Now that the disaster has lasted for five years, hundreds of millions of Han people have lost hope in our Qing court. The reason why they didn't rebel is because they are afraid of the punishment. The appearance of Zhu Lingye, the remaining member of the Baoming royal family, will completely ignite this explosive barrel that has been suppressed for many years.
"Therefore, this battle! Our army must win! Complete victory! He would crush Zhu Lingye and his rebel army like a storm! Crushing into powder! It completely extinguished the flames of blood that were gradually burning in the Han people!”
At this point, Fu Heng punched the table.
Bang!
All the generals stood up and stood at attention with murderous intent.
"Great General, please give the order!"
"Thief Zhu seems to want to go all out and put up a defensive stance in Tianxing Town outside of Nanning City.”
"Azir will lead 50,000 new troops to attack the left side, Sahaji will lead 40,000 new troops to attack the right side, Shuerkang will lead 30,000 new troops to block the rear, and Lahuige will lead 80,000 Han troops to attack from the front!”
"Lefay Yangwu, gather all the cannons and raze Stellarsky Town to the ground before the battle begins!”
"Remember, we must attack from four directions at the same time. We must use the advantage of cavalry to disperse the firepower of the Zhu bandits and destroy them in an unstoppable manner!”
Yes!
……
Heavenly Star Town.
Dark clouds covered the skies of the war, and the entire Nanyang was in a state of panic. All the people knew that the imperial court was serious, and they mobilized 200,000 troops to encircle and suppress the Yan Huang National Defense Army.
For a moment, everyone was anxious.
Ninety percent of the people hoped that the National Defense Force would win, defeat the Qing army, and occupy Gui Province, so that they could live a good life.
The remaining ten percent were the nobles who were loyal to the Qing court, as well as…scholars.
These scholars who had been brainwashed believed that Zhu Lingye was a schemer and a violent person who destroyed the stability of the imperial court. He was destined to be destroyed under the iron hooves of the imperial court.
After nearly half a month of repairs, a huge ring-shaped formation had been formed with Heavenly Star Town as the center.
In the artillery position in the center of the town, Elizabeth, who was wearing a starry camouflage military uniform, followed Zhu Lingye. Although her face was calm, she was shocked by the artillery position in front of her.
She liked the military and was currently studying at the Royal British Army Academy. She knew a lot about weapons.
It was because he understood that he was shocked and knew how terrifying Zhu Lingye was!
"Zhu, you have an artillery division?"
