Chapter 512 White Lotus Sect is undefeated to have ghosts!
"The current situation is like this. Since we have been making various preparations over the past few years, the march of all kinds of soldiers and horses is very smooth. At present, the 63rd Division, which entered Yunnan from Nanzhang, that is, Laos, has taken the Pu'er Mansion, and the sixty-fifth and sixty-sixth strengthening regiments have also been After breaking through Lin'an Prefecture, the 61st Division, which met in Yuanjiang Prefecture and entered Yunnan through the northern part of Annan, has broken the Ping'an Hall of Kaihua Prefecture and Guangxi Prefecture. At present, it has broken through the Kema Pass and hit the foot of Lujiangfu City, which is only one step away from Kunming, the capital of Yunnan Province.
In addition, the 62nd and 63rd divisions from north to south have occupied all the territory in Guangxi except Guilin Prefecture with the cooperation of the first and second divisions of the Guangxi mixed division composed of Guangxi regiment training troops. And the 62nd Division has broken through the border between Guangxi and Guizhou and entered Dushan Prefecture in Yunfu, the capital of Guizhou Province..." Liang Pengfei stayed in the former governor's office of Fujian and Zhejiang, listening to the results of Sun Shijie's summary of the latest information.
"That is to say, we are about to enter the area guarded by the Qing army and the battle with the White Lotus Sect?" Liang Pengfei's fingers poked the map and raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, there are still more than 15,000 Qing troops in Guilin Prefecture, of which more than 2,000 Qing soldiers fled from Liuzhou Prefecture. They are struggling with the white lotus religion of about 50,000. At present, the 63rd Division is located in Pingle, Gongcheng County and Lipu County, the governor of Pingle Prefecture in northern Guangxi, and the second mixed division of Guangxi is stationed in the area of Huaiyuan County and Lurong County in the north of Liuzhou Prefecture, which has completed the encirclement and monitoring of Guilin Prefecture. Sun Shijie raised his head and looked at Liang Pengfei to explain.
"Although our army is fully capable of taking down the whole Guilin area, it can't completely anniperate our two opponents. At most, we can only eat the Qing soldiers in defense, and what those white lotus followers are best at is that once they meet a strong enemy, they will disperse into sporadic teams to disperse and retreat. Therefore, it is very tolerant to defeat them. Yi, but to eat them, our troops don't seem to be enough.
"Your excellency, it's June now. It's the time to be young and yellow. I have an idea, but I don't know if the other party will hook up." Next to him, Wang Jing interrupted and said.
"You mean to use grain as bait?" Liang Pengfei's eyes lit up and looked at the king and asked with a smile.
"That's exactly what I mean. From last year to the present, the surrounding states and counties of Guilin Prefecture have let those white lotus people empty the granary of each treasury. These white lotus religion have nothing to produce, and they are completely fighting for war. Now, although there is grain in Guilin, it is difficult for them to gnaw this hard bone, but they can't Retreat, on the other side of Hunan, the Qing soldiers have cut those white lotus religion into several pieces. On the border of Hunan, there are more heavy guards. If they want to flow back to Hunan, they are simply throwing themselves into the net. Therefore, they must find a way to take down Guilin City. In this way, they can get a chance to breathe and plot again. The way out.
And the Qing soldiers in Guilin Prefecture have now obtained the news that our Liang family army has reached the whole territory of Guangxi. In the past, there was a white lotus religion blocking the road, and the back road was cut off by our army. Although there is a strong city in Guilin to guard, it is also a group of frightened birds.
Hearing Wang Jing's analysis, everyone present couldn't help nodding frequently.
"Yes, now, the White Lotus Sect can be said to be in the encirclement of the Qing army, and the Qing soldiers in Guilin Prefecture are in the encirclement of us with the White Lotus Sect, forming a very strange situation." Ni Ming was also happy.
Liang Pengfei said proudly. Yes, the situation is actually very unfavorable to the Qing soldiers and the Bailian religion. Since the Qing soldiers of Guilin Prefecture have accepted the Qing soldiers who fled from Liuzhou, they must have known how terrible the combat effectiveness and artillery of our army are. With the walls of Liuzhou, which is even greater than that of Guilin, they have been broken by us. Naturally, Guilin is not there. In the words. They may not be afraid of the popular White Lotus Religion, but they will definitely be afraid of us.
"Yes, and those white lotus religion are also very afraid, because they have taken out the last grain of grain in the treasury of all states and counties in Guilin. According to the information station of Guilin Province, the grain and grass of the white lotus religion can support them until the end of July at most. At that time, they will either Drink porridge and eat wild vegetables, or just scatter. Therefore, they must do everything they can to take down Guilin City, or find other sources of food.
"I said Wang Jing, what do you mean? Throw the bait and use grain to seduce the White Lotus Sect. First, concentrate the superior forces, eat the White Lotus Sect, and then turn around and take down the Guilin Mansion? Ni Ming's eyebrows turned into a Sichuan character, as if he was thinking about the feasible surname of Wang Jing's idea.
"No." Wang Jing shook his head with a smile.
"No?" Everyone's eyes fell on Wang Jing again.
Wang Jing smiled and said, "I think we should defeat the White Lotus Sect first, and then persuade the Qing soldiers to surrender to Guilin. The combat effectiveness of the Qing soldiers in Guilin Prefecture is not strong. Otherwise, with their armaments, it is not a problem to take down the White Lotus Sect of the 50,000 crows, but they dare not fight, and even Guilin City is unwilling to go out. This shows that at least it shows that their commanders are greedy and afraid of death.
"If we take down the White Lotus Sect with the momentum of destruction, coupled with the loss of Liuzhou, I think we should let them know what kind of choice is right." Wang Jing's analysis calmed everyone down, analyzing whether the method he said was appropriate or not.
"We only need the strength of an integrated division, which is enough to clean up the 50,000 white lotus followers." Sun Shijie is very sure.
Ni Ming shook his head and rejected Sun Shijie's proposal. But if we are encircled and anniored, I think we should use at least two divisions. After all, if these white lotus schools collapse after their failure and want to suppress them, it will take a lot of effort. What we need is the people of the two Guangdongs to return to normal life and rebuild their homes in the shortest time.
In the end, everyone looked at Liang Pengfei to see how he made the decision.
"The white lotus religion is a scourge. It is eliminated early, and the people get peace early. Wang Jingzhi said that it is indeed a feasible good strategy. The important thing is that we have not only cleaned up the Bailian Sect, but also captured the Qing soldiers in Guilin Prefecture. Therefore, this strategy is feasible. Liang Pengfei took a cup of tea and took a sip of water and smiled.
When Wang Jing heard Liang Pengfei's affirmation, he couldn't hide the smile on his face and clenched his fist excitedly.
"Well, what we have to do is to choose the bait and choose the place where the bait is placed, which can not only make the White Lotus religion bold to attack, but also ensure that our troops can be surrounded in time. Therefore, the location must be selected."
--------------------
"Wait when you staff officers have finished everything, you will hand over this battle to the 63rd Division and the second division of Guangxi. Humph, 50,000 white lotus followers, even 500,000, Laozi's two divisions, as long as they have enough ammunition, are enough for them to break their heads and break blood." Liang Pengfei's fingers gently knocked on the map, with a trace of disdain on the corners of his mouth to deal with these white lotus followers with extremely poor organization and discipline. To be honest, Liang Pengfei was really not afraid.
The discipline of the Qing soldiers is not much better than that of the white lotus religion, and the combat effectiveness is also surprisingly poor. Such an army still won the final victory, which means that in addition to deception and demagogment, those white lotus followers lack the purpose and surname against the court, and lack discipline and mass base.
Every time they go to the place, what they do is to kill big families. Whether you are a well-known local squire or a squire landlord, as long as your family has money and food, you can either join the White Lotus Sect and hand over all your property, or you are the running dog of the Qing court. In each city they took down, they opened warehouses to release grain, rob everything, and then rolled up a group of blind followers to seize the next target, just like a group of locusts. Every time they arrived, they only knew how to destroy and destroy all the local order, and then wrapped up the people, searched for every grain, and then turned around and left.
Liang Pengfei held a sympathetic attitude for the poor people who followed the uprising of the White Lotus Sect, but he hated the backbone of the White Lotus Sect. Those guys now put on a pose, occupying the top of the mountain, raising the flag, and claiming the hegemony. This king, that big Marshal, the head of a certain religion. Life is as luxurious and rotten as those corrupt officials in the Qing Dynasty.
They provoked the hatred of these poor people for the court, but they used their hatred for the court to satisfy their greed and desire. However, for those people, they turn a blind eye to what they want, or they are blindly perfunctory. If someone is a little dissatisfied, they will suppress and slaughter them for various crimes such as the anniamity of the court.
It doesn't care about the life and death of those people who are unwilling to leave their homeland at all. Those poor people who follow them, except for those young and strong people who are regarded as combat effectiveness that they can absorb, old, weak women and children are the objects that they can abandon at any time.
This is also the reason why in the later period, the White Lotus Sect gradually fell into a predicament and was killed by the Qing soldiers, because in the areas they passed through, the local people and gentry hated them to the extreme as if they were sworn enemies. It was also the reason why when the White Lotus Sect was wiped out, the gentry everywhere scrambled to handle group training. The reason for assisting the Qing soldiers to suppress the White Lotus Sect.
Today's White Lotus Sect has completely placed itself on the opposite side of all classes. It is almost the enemy of everyone, and there are ghosts invincible.
