Even if ten thousand flag soldiers come, it is impossible to attack a fortified city with five thousand people.

Zhu Jinglun more heart "Jiang Yili there? Is there any problem with Wuzhou city defense? "
Xie Qi said, "Wuzhou is the second army in Xin ‘an. If it is defensive, it should be lost."
The Second Army of Xin ‘an is now an old army, just like the First Army of Xin ‘an, where there are no natives, just like the county of Xin ‘an, there are natives mixed up, Cantonese-speaking Cantonese people and Hakka people are confused, and the leader is Li Daochang, a Hakka supervisor.
Xie Qi added, "According to our investigation during this period, Jiang Yili went back to Hunan to recruit a large number of Xiang Yong. At present, there are 30,000 mercenaries. If Jiang Yili is to be completely defeated, I am afraid it is not enough to rely on the five pits."
At present, the staff officers calculate the fighting capacity of the Xiang army according to the results of the second engagement, and think that the fighting capacity of the Xiang army is equivalent to their own, so it is ok to defend with three times the strength, but it is unrealistic to annihilate the opponent head-on
Zhu Jinglun nodded, and he also recognized the result. Although most of Xiang Yong recruited by Jiang Yili were recruits, Xiang fought by either being well-trained or relying to a large extent on the villagers’ bravery in Xiangxi, a mountainous area, plus brave officers who dared to fight hard, and there were many such officers in Jiang Yili’s army.
"What’s your opinion?"
Zhu Jinglun asked
Xie Qi said, "A total of 40,000 people from the five pits will join forces to protect the soil and protect the guests, and they will attack Jiang Yili together."
The Wukeng Army is currently deployed in Huichao Jiadao area. When Zhu Jinglun left, he was worried that the Qing army would come from Fujian South, so he put this main force there.
At present, Jiang Yili’s main flag harassed Zhang Qian Shan, eyeing up three forces to attack him. Obviously, the staff officers tended to fight with Xiang and defeated Jiang Yili’s other two roads.
Zhu Jinglun also thinks that this suggestion is very reasonable, and he was about to promise that his heart suddenly became alert.
"Such a wide range of contact and mobilization can’t be that Jiang Yili can play well. Who did you say they mobilized?"
Xie Qi wondered, "Not Jiang Yili? Is it Mukden? "
Zhu Jinglun shook his head. "Mukden didn’t have the guts. He seldom goes out these days. The Wukeng Army can’t move!"
Xie Qi asked, "You mean Fujian?"
Zhu Jinglun nodded and Xie Qi ignored the direction of Fujian because of their lack of information.
Zhu Jinglun explained, "I learned from Hainan that Zuo Zongtang had taken control of the Qing court in Zhejiang and ordered him to be the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang. I’m afraid he had pursued the Taiping Army south."
"It’s by Zuo Zongtang!"
Xie Qima reacted.
It’s not a secret that Zuo Zongtang appreciated Jiang Yili, which is regarded as evidence that Zuo Zongtang and Zeng Guofan are at odds. But in fact, whether Zuo Zongtang can destroy the Taiping Army in Zhejiang or Zuo Zongtang recommended Li Hongzhang is also recommended by Zuo Zongtang. Although there are various disagreements between them, Zuo Zongtang is mainly arrogant and despises Zeng Guofan, but who can say that this is not a Chinese loyal minister performing a play for the Qing court?
But there is no doubt that Zuo Zongtang can mobilize Jiang Yili and then pass Jiang Yili’s flag soldiers and Zhang Qian Shan. This is not impossible.
"The fifth pit army can’t move Jiang Yili’s side. Let’s watch it first. The first step is to beat the flag soldiers. This time, we will dare to rebel and kill them by thunder!"
Xie Qi said, "So let the soil-protecting and guest-protecting groups attack bravely?"
Zhu Jinglun said, "Well, although these 20,000 regiments are brave enough to skillfully use rifles and cannons, they are used to fighting with 2,000 flag brothers, but it’s easy for my father-in-law. What are your plans?"
Zhang Qianshan is looking for trouble. Zhu Jinglun doesn’t doubt that this is an ambitious person. Such people are easy to be bought because they have no position and no bottom line. They don’t care if their women are Zhu Jinglun’s concubines.
But after all, he and Zhu Jinglun are in-laws. Xie Qi and them still have some concerns.
"Or let Jun Hong block them in Yingde?"
Jun Hong was ordered to break up tens of thousands of villagers in Shaozhou, and easily captured Yingde County. But when they approached Shaozhou, they found that Shaozhou was occupied by Zhang Qian Shan, and dozens of Guangdong local officials who opposed Zhu Jinglun were taken over by him.
At that time, Zhang Qian Shan played the role of Zhu Jinglun’s father-in-law, which led to Jun Hong’s dare not attack. In the end, Shao Prefecture and Nanxiong Prefecture were handed over to Zhang Qian Shan, and the whole Nanshao Road in Yingde County was controlled by Zhang Qian Shan.
Zhu Jinglun sighed, "My old father-in-law has always had a sharp eye. He is eyeing the opportunity. We don’t have the strength to deal with him. Presumably he doesn’t really want to fight with me. I’m afraid he still wants to take back Yingde from us and completely control Nanshao Liandao."
Fangshan said at this time, "It is not impossible for adults to deal with him if they have a mind."
Zhu Jinglun laughed. "In-laws belong to in-laws. He will be the first day and I will be the fifteenth. Don’t worry if you have any way to say it."
Fangshan Road "Let me take the soil conservation group to Yingde to ensure the defeat of Zhang Qian Shan’s department."
Zhu Jinglun’s horse is white. "Are you connected with Tan Cai?"
Fangshan Road "just connected"
Zhang Qian Shan’s power has expanded to the point where he has recruited more than 10,000 Tan Cai, who is brave and brave. Tan Cai used to pull up Yong Ying, which has always been the main force of natives fighting with guests, equipped with a large number of rifles and cannons. When Zhang Qianshan was still in his old age, he gave Tan Caitou a title of lieutenant of Nanxiong, and then Tan Cai accepted himself.
But these two people are ambitious, and they are mutually beneficial, but it is impossible for them to live and die together. Give them some pressure and then exert benefits, not afraid that people like Tan Cai will not hook.
Tan Cai people are all natives in Wuyi area. Fangshan said that he would take the soil conservation group, obviously hoping that the villagers would surrender Tan Cai.
Zhu Jinglun doesn’t care about this. He wants the result: "You are responsible for it. The soil conservation group and the big Jun Hong work together to clean up the problem of Nanshao Liandao as soon as possible and then return immediately."
The basic training of the two armies, the Conservation Corps and the Great Jun Hong, has been completed, but both groups are accustomed to the cold weapon warfare, which makes rifles and cannons very unfamiliar. The cold weapon troops may not be able to beat Zhang Qian Shan, but it will definitely be very troublesome.
Zhu Jinglun wanted to think, "A brigade from Xin ‘an Second Army and Wukeng Army will be transferred to join the Conservation Corps and Jun Hong will be assigned an artillery battalion to each of them."
At one time, it was difficult to transform two units with relatively low educational level into firearms units. Zhu Jinglun recalled that when he saw the Taiping Army and Xiang Army, these cold and hot weapons mixed units, he thought that joining the elite firearms units could greatly improve the overall combat effectiveness of the whole unit.
Soon, according to Zhu Jinglun’s deployment, an army set out.
Fangshan took the soil conservation group into Shaozhou to support Yingde Jun Hong.
The baoke group looked for fighters to annihilate the flag soldiers from Zhaoqing Movement, and Zhu Jinglun gave them instructions to kill them!
After the military action exhibition, everything is in the charge of a professional military department. Zhu Jinglun will not directly command it, just as Zeng Guofan will not directly control how Peng Yulin fights.
But at present, the focus is still on the military. He can’t care about the problems ahead, such as commanding the post-war party’s material supplies and reserve forces. In particular, the reserve soldiers are not only related to whether he can cope with the current situation, but also whether he can fight the Xiang army in a year or two. Because these reserve soldiers are not only reserves but also a newly formed army, a total of 50 thousand people are in intensive training.
Section three hundred and fifty-seven Head rolling
At present, Zhu Jinglun’s hand force is greatly abundant, and the Wukeng Army of Xin ‘an First and Second Army is quite mature and worthy of being the main force.
Jun Hong, a bandit, was incorporated into Huichao Jiadao’s regiment training. green camp formed Chaozhou Army, Zhaoqing House and green camp formed Zhaoqing Army. They have been training for one year, but the effect is not satisfactory. It is more difficult for these armed forces to change them into rifles and cannons than to train new recruits.
However, rural volunteers from 14 counties in Guangzhou were recruited. Because Zhu Jinglun had sent troops to train them earlier, they had a better foundation, just as he could easily transform the coolies trained by the British into musket troops. These people have received long-term training in formation and have already installed rifles.
The baoke group and the baotu group still retain the characteristics of fighting group, which is more difficult to reverse, but they still have considerable combat effectiveness with cold weapons. After receiving formal training, their combat effectiveness has increased.
The total number of these nine troops plus flag soldiers exceeds 100 thousand, which is Zhu Jinglun’s former total strength
However, after he left Guangzhou for Tianjing, Chen Zhiting recruited a large number of new troops, all of whom were recruited from Wuyi area to fight with local people.
For example, Li Weiping and Chen Yuliang, the big landlords in Xinning area, set up a draw in Ze, set up a draw in Chong, and set up a team training in Jie Sheng in Yu Hai Banquet.
Xiuguang, the landlord of Zhaimen, and Shiguang brothers called Wubao’s father to recruit 10,000 Zhaimen and Wubao’s local brave in Yangjiang to form a group training.
The Hakkas were trained and trained in Nafu and Shenjing by martial artists Zhong Dayong and Yu Jifu, and they merged the Hakka youth in Dalongwan, Hezhou, Xiaoqishan Cao Chong, Dalongdong and Naqin.
Hakka scholars Tang Enchang and Wang Dinglong set up the Futong Group.
Hakka squires Yang Zizhao, Yang Zinan and others set up Wanxing Bureau in Cao Chong, which was strongly supported by Xin ‘an Hakka people. For example, Li Daochang and others joined Wanxing Bureau. At that time, if Zhu Jinglun hadn’t stopped him, they would have taken Li’s rural courage to help fight.
These Yong ying armed forces have also been fighting for a long time, and their own establishment has long been more difficult to change. Although Zhu Jinglun ordered the leaders of them to enter the military school to send officers to train the little leaders, it was still difficult to achieve results for a while, and finally they had to mix cold and hot weapons to improve their combat effectiveness [oM]
To be honest, it’s not necessary to train a pure recruit unit for one year. The key point is that Zhu Jinglun is worried about the war and the two local families in Wuyi area will fall into a duel again. It’s the biggest goal to collect all the yong ying armed forces at once and drain the armed forces in that area to prevent chaos.
Without selection, the result is that Zhu Jinglun’s army has increased a large number of local armed forces with different numbers and different organizations. Among them, Rong Xiuguang’s two brothers have as many as 10,000 people, and Li Weiping and other gentry have more than 20,000 troops. In addition, the total number of family armed forces is as high as 60,000.
