Chapter 82 (8) Poorer than Guizhou donkeys

To be honest, the Battle of Jinchuan was originally not easy to be resolved quickly.Because of this Jinchuan Tibetan soldier, he practiced martial arts since he was a child.The local gave birth to a child, and before he could learn to walk, he would carry him to the blockhouse at the intersection, stuff a hard bow in the child's hand, point to the passing merchants, and say to the child: Aim at the walking head, shoot, If you shoot him dead, all his belongings will be yours. If you don’t shoot him dead, you will have nothing to eat today. Jinchuan people are not only men who are brave, bloodthirsty and easy to kill, but even girls like to play this game. There will often be a group of Jinchuan girls who go to the bunker together, shoot arrows at passing merchants, and rob property for dowry .And this kind of murder and robbery was originally a traditional custom in the primitive society era, and there is nothing wrong with it.

It is precisely because the local residents make a living by plundering that they spared no expense in building blockhouses.The oldest of these bunkers has a history of hundreds of years, and has been continuously strengthened and repaired for hundreds of years. There are more than 6,000 strong bunkers in Dajinchuan alone, and each of them is built on a dangerous cliff.If the officers and soldiers wanted to conquer Dajinchuan, they had to pull down the more than 6,000 blockhouses one by one. If one was missing and not removed, there would be endless troubles. It wasn't until this step that Neqin and Zhang Guangsi knew how difficult this battle was.To dismantle all the blockhouses in Dajinchuan, it will take ten or twenty years, and it is absolutely impossible to complete.

But will Qianlong give them ten or twenty years? There is no way not to give it.Zhang Guangsi gave an order: "Consider every step of the way, demolition and demolition at the same time, whatever the extent of this battle, let it be." Officers and soldiers from the Seventh Route marched in succession, dismantling the blockhouses as they went, one every day on average, killing more than ten Tibetan soldiers.It sounds like not many Tibetan soldiers were killed, but don't forget that Dajinchuan's total strength is only 4,000. If more than a dozen people die a day, and if they die for more than ten days, Dajinchuan can't bear it anymore.

The fact is really like this, when more than 100 bunkers were demolished and the officers and soldiers were only five or six miles away from Sha Luoben's camp, Sha Luoben was afraid and sent envoys to demand surrender. Ordinarily at this time, the officers and soldiers could end up decently, but Qianlong also squatted in front of the imperial table every day, calculating how many living people were left in Dajinchuan.According to Qianlong's calculations, Dajinchuan at this time was already out of ammunition and food, and Sha Luoben's request to surrender proved that Qianlong's calculations were correct.

So Qianlong decided not to forgive others, and issued a decree: Sha Luoben is not allowed to surrender, everyone must continue to fight, and the Sha Luoben gang must be completely wiped out. This edict of Qianlong, like a ladle of cold water, poured on the heads of Zhang Guangsi and Neqin.The two of them hugged their heads and cried a lot. They both knew that this imperial decree was actually just a reminder for him-Qianlong only knew that Sha Luoben was at the end of his skills, but he didn't want to think about it. Even worse, if the fight continues, no one will be able to return home.

As expected, when the officers and soldiers continued to advance, suddenly a 200-member Dajinchuan special agent team came down from the cliff, cut off the food channel for the 2,000 people led by the deputy general Zhang Xing, and sent 2,000 people from Zhang Xing to the army. Surrounded. Zhang Xing hastily asked Zhang Guangsi for help: For the sake of the empire, give him a hand. Zhang Guangsi replied: "Father is dead, mother is married, everyone cares about each other, you just accept your fate!"
