Section one hundred and fifty-nine City League

After attacking the city, Zhu Jinglun took the A county to stay and rest and watch the development trend of Enping’s fighting with local people.
This time, the Hakka people were defeated by the manpower, financial resources and organizational power of Guangfu people, and they were able to attract people to buy guns. They were greatly superior to the Hakka people in weapons and equipment, and they were beaten back step by step.
Zhu Jinglun, who sits in Xin ‘an, has also been receiving various news. It is said that the Hakka people’s resistance is extremely fierce, especially when they occupy the natives when surrounding their hometown. They can still retreat, but how can they retreat from their hometown?
There are often 30 or 50 Hakka youths who rush into the army of natives’ regiments and kill them at random, not because they are not afraid of death, but because there are women and children left in the village behind them
There is a bloody term called shovel village in the fighting between the natives, that is, uprooting an entire village. When the Hakkas are strong, this kind of thing is not uncommon. Even after killing, the villagers have to burn the village. Revenge is equally barbaric, but the natives have a problem. The economic concept seems to be stronger. For example, Tan Cai, a kind of creature, he doesn’t kill all the people, and keeps women to play and buy it in ji Hospital in Macau. If men can catch it, they don’t kill it and sell it to foreigners as pigs.
He bought rifles to recruit Xiang Yong to invest so much because of these things.
Seeing that villages were uprooted, Hakka people kept retreating. Hakka strongholds in Hengbei, Niujiang, Langdi, Datian and Naji were successively lost, and finally they were forced to evacuate to Pingwukeng Mountain Area in L County. A whole county of Hakka people was actually eradicated.
At this time, the Hakka people in other counties were greatly shocked. They petitioned the local government to find Fangshan, hoping to stop the fighting. They always had the illusion that the Hakka gentry in Gaohe and Gaoyao counties had peace talks with the gentry in Guangfu. In Zhu Jinglun, they personally witnessed the establishment of a township contract and vowed never to invade each other.
The Hakkas made the biggest concession and returned all the occupied fields except Enping. When the other five counties returned to the fighting, it was only then that everyone found that nothing had changed in these years except the dead sea. Then every family in Dai Xiao buried their relatives first.
Because of Enping’s reasons, it can be said that Hakka people have much more backbone when they temporarily sign a city alliance BJ Xianfeng, and he refuses to sign a city alliance.
Anyway, he also arrested their peace envoy, so he didn’t negotiate. It is estimated that the literati fooled him. He felt that he was sure of winning. Xianfeng decided to fight at this time
Xianfeng immediately instructed Senggelinqin not to care about the bureau, and instructed Zhili Governor Hengfu to encourage local vigilantes in J to block foreigners’ back roads and vent their anger, and told the people to buy a black barbarian (Indian soldier), a white barbarian (British), a leader who can capture the leader, and a warship who can burn down. At the same time, he reprimanded Gui Liang for insisting on peace talks. He had to wake up first.
The British and French allied forces are also trying to fight at this time. Why don’t they fight when their negotiators are arrested? Can’t afford to lose this man.
So he went to Tongzhou and fought with a large number of Qing infantry in the Zhangjiawan area with the Mongolian cavalry of Sengqin.
More than 15 people were killed and wounded in the First World War, and 23 people were killed or injured by themselves. After occupying Zhangjiawan at the same time, British and French allied troops looted Zhangjiawan. Local women committed suicide and were humiliated. Even prostitutes swallowed opium in the Great Smoke House, and most of them were saved by foreigners. It is estimated that profiteers with insufficient purity can sometimes do good deeds.
After the fall of Zhangjiawan, Tongzhou County surrendered without fighting. After the British and French allied forces entered the city, they plundered Grant again, purged the military discipline, hanged a robber who was very fierce, and flogged several talents in public to suppress the military robbery and maintain the military discipline.
Xianfeng continued to direct the war at this time, telling Sengqin that he interrogated foreigners’ prisoners, and told foreigners to give advice on the methods of fighting, and at the same time, asked Hengfu to urge J militia to attack.
However, Jing Youwei, J Wei, these gangsters brag at ordinary times, but they are a good player. If they are serious, no one dares to go to the front.
Still have to rely on the monk king Mongolian cavalry
Three days later, the British and French troops marched into Liqiao, and another big war broke out.
There is no need to repeat the process. The monk king lost more than 20 thousand Mongolian cavalry troops, but their death won the respect of the British and French Coalition forces and they were very impressed by their courage
However, the British and French allied forces thought that the Mongolian cavalry weapons were too poor. In front of the cavalry, the British and French allied forces formed an infantry phalanx to defend the soldiers. The artillery around them set up bayonets in the center to defend the infantry phalanx. This infantry phalanx was developed from the Swiss phalanx, which greatly led to the withdrawal of the heavy cavalry from the battlefield.
However, the Mongols are light cavalry, and they are good at riding and shooting. They rushed into the 30-40 meters to throw bows and arrows many times. Foreigners found that the Mongolian bows and arrows were very erratic, and there was no lethality. In the end, Mongolian cavalry exchanged their lives for archery opportunities, and more than 20 foreigners were killed or injured. Of course, this casualty is controversial. Various data in later generations show that it ranged from two to one.
Because it is difficult for people to understand how it is possible that the British and French troops are all dressed in cloth and military uniforms without a nail plate, and there are almost no casualties
Zhu Jinglun later heard an explanation. It is said that these brave Mongolian cavalry were directly transferred from the Mongolian grassland prince. Usually, they were herders riding horses and shooting arrows. However, because the Qing Dynasty demarcated grasslands for Mongolian tribes, all tribes stopped swimming and there was no territorial dispute. As a result, these herders could not pull the hard bow in their ancestors’ days. Usually, they hunted light bows.
When they arrived in BJ, Gen didn’t bring bows and arrows, because there were bows and arrows in the Qing army arsenal. As a result, when they arrived in BeiJing, they found that Gen didn’t pull the army to clear the bow with heavy arrows.
The imperial court can urgently purchase light bows and arrows in BJ. There are a large number of bow and arrow shops in this era, but they make bows and arrows instead of military bows and arrows. Therefore, these Mongolian cavalry still pull them because these bows and arrows are just for people to play with, and it is convenient to shoot arrows. Usually, it is no problem for flag masters to shoot chickens and ducks at close range, but once they come to fight and shoot more than ten meters away, the arrows will drift and there will be no aim.
At the end of the day, kung fu is gone. In those days, Manchu flag brothers no longer hung their arms and couldn’t pull the heavy bow every day. Even Mongolian herders living in grasslands lost their skills in Genghis Khan’s time. When they were young, they rode sheep and pulled wooden bows. When they grew up, they rode hard bows.
Therefore, it can be said that if they have just entered the country, they will surely make the British and French allied infantry array in cloth clothes cool.
As a result of the abandonment of armaments, the Mongolian cavalry tragically won a defeat, and the British and French allied forces easily won the Liqiao War, and Emperor Xianfeng went to Jehol to patrol the inaugural ceremony.
Zhu Jinglun hasn’t received the news about what happened in BJ yet. At this time, he came to Guangzhou Wuyi six counties to temporarily calm down the fighting between local people and tourists. He came to report to Baigui.
At that time, he was ordered to appease the people, but now he has completed it, of course, he has to report it.
Bai Gui is worried about BJ at this time, and he has no idea about Zhu Jinglun’s ending the fighting between the natives so soon.
Zhu Jinglun made a careful report. By the way, he inadvertently revealed that Yong Du in County A was equipped with rifles, indicating that he didn’t hide it before, but you didn’t ask.
Sure enough, this kind of thing, Bai Gui, hurriedly asked Zhu Jinglun where he got so many foreign guns. Zhu Jinglun replied that he bought money from the bureau.
Of course, Bai Gui knew that the money must be Li Bureau. He was shocked that he had formed a 10,000-man musket team without knowing Zhu Jinglun’s silence. No wonder he could suppress the fighting with the natives so quickly.
Zhu Jinglun argued that he had told Baigui that it was Baigui’s approval. Otherwise, how dare he move so much money to buy guns? He was kind enough to wake up when he reported that Baigui was skeptical when he sank the American gunboat. At this time, there were too many things to keep Zhu Jinglun from saying that he didn’t take it to heart.
This Bai Gui still has no doubt that Zhu Jinglun’s loyalty is to prevent his hand from being too strong. This is the common sense of an old bureaucrat at the governor level.
Then Zhu Jinglun immediately led the topic to the fight between the local people and the tourists to tell Bai Gui that he had let the squires of five counties in six counties make their own conventions and abide by them. For the time being, everyone would not fight.
After Zhu Jinglun changed the subject, he expressed great concern about this, fearing that the two families would not behave honestly and there might be another dispute, and made a suggestion.
That is, in the area where the local people live together and where the land between the local people and the local people borders, troops will be stationed to prevent large-scale fighting from breaking out at any time, and as soon as there are signs, they will be strangled according to the township agreement.
However, Zhu Jinglun said that he suffered heavy casualties in his county, and they had to guard against the British and foreigners in Hong Kong, so he could not stay in other counties for a long time. He hoped that Baigui could send people to compile and practice the new county courage in various counties.
If you go to Baigui, you won’t think much about directly handing this matter over to Zhu Jinglun, and then you will wait for the good news.
But this time Baigui pondered for a long time.
Finally, I said, "It’s time for you to be transferred back to the county after a long battle. It’s also reasonable for you to say that the two local families are my Qing people fighting and heavy casualties are my Qing wounds. As you said, you have to station soldiers in the local area. Since you can’t come to my place in County A, there is a suitable candidate. Nanxiong’s deputy commander, Shi Inverse (Da), has been transferred to Wuyi after repeated bloody battles. What do you think?"
Zhu Jinglun sighed in his heart that Bai Gui really took precautions against himself. Although he is not suspicious, I am afraid that I will guard against and limit my strength from today.
Zhu Jinglun chimed in, "Your Excellency is worried that Lieutenant Zhou Zhang is really self-serious and worthy of being a big man."
