Chapter 81 (7) Troubled battle situation

But it is said that the hemp rope used by the soldiers who attacked Dajinchuan to knock the soot was not actually a hemp rope, but a gunpowder scorpion, commonly known as "match rope". This matchlock is connected with a total of sixteen cages of gunpowder, and the dose is very large.At that time, when the soldiers heard the sound of the fire rope burning, they were so frightened that they fled wildly in all directions, howling loudly.Hearing a loud "boom", the earth was shaken to and fro, but because the soldiers were running fast, none of them were blown up. It's a good thing that it didn't blow up, but the problem is that the shock wave when the gunpowder exploded was too strong, and it knocked down a blockhouse made of huge rocks on the spot.And under the bunker, there were many soldiers crouching and digging at the stone with their fingers. If they didn't pay attention, the bunker suddenly collapsed, with a bang, and smoke and dust rose, and dozens of soldiers were smashed under the rocks.After digging out, a total of forty-six corpses were pieced together.

This incident was one of the more disturbing secret reports Qianlong received, and there are two other secret reports: The first one was about the battle on the front line. After the generals arrived at Mizoguchi, they waved their sabers: kill, charge, the people of the motherland are looking forward to you... Then the generals returned to the camp and went to drink. There were more than 3,000 officers and soldiers in front of them, but there was no general. They walked forward in a daze, and suddenly heard a shout in front of them, and saw a dozen Tibetan soldiers, all of whom were women, wrapped in rawhide, staring strangely. Eyes, rushing down from the mountain ridge.Three thousand soldiers looked left and right, and found that there was not even a general on their side, so they uttered a cry, turned around and fled.

More than 3,000 officers and soldiers were chased to death by a dozen women, and trampled on each other, with many injuries. This was the second failure of the Jinchuan Battle. What was even more embarrassing than this was the changeable climate in the Jinchuan area. The soldiers went to the battlefield wearing shorts and vests. Suddenly, the situation suddenly changed, and it snowed heavily. Thousands of soldiers froze and became disabled on the spot.At this time, the Jinchuan Tibetan soldiers took the opportunity to rush out. The frozen soldiers did not dare to fight. They just jumped down the cliff like dumplings, and a thick layer of broken corpses accumulated under the cliff.

All the soldiers committed suicide by throwing themselves off the cliff, and the remaining generals did not dare to come back to deal with their duties, so they simply got a rope and hanged themselves to death. Soldiers threw themselves off cliffs and generals hanged themselves. This led to problems in the statistics of officers and soldiers. It was impossible to figure out whether the missing soldiers died for Emperor Qianlong, or took off their clothes and ran to the Tibetan soldiers. Therefore, the distribution of compensation and food , it freezes temporarily. But this money cannot be frozen. The soldiers who went to the front line are the strong laborers of the family. The whole family is eagerly waiting for their military pay or pension to eat, but the court freezes the money, so the soldiers' wives and children , held a sign, lined up in a mighty long line, and took to the streets to demonstrate.There were so many women and children demonstrating that they surrounded the Yasi in Chengdu.

Seeing this situation, Emperor Qianlong was astonished and astonished, and asked Zhang Guangsi: Can you fucking do it?Can this battle be won? Zhang Guangsi replied: "Jinchuan's terrain is dangerous and there are many blockhouses. If the officers and soldiers attack together, they will not find a target; if they attack separately, they will be defeated by Sha Luoben one by one."Therefore, I think that the current strategy is to encourage the soldiers to work hard and fight on their own... Emperor Qianlong read Zhang Guangsi's memorial several times before he suddenly woke up: Damn, Zhang Guangsi, don't you mean to let the officers and soldiers resign themselves to fate?

This matter can be troublesome.
