Chapter 387： Difficult Qing Army

Two days later, Tang Guozhen's army, artillery and air force, a total of 13,000 people left Huai'an and marched towards Suqian.

It didn't go far before it was discovered by the spies of the Qing army.

Dahua placed heavy troops in Huai'an, and the Qing court had been frightened for fear that the Chinese army would suddenly expedition to the north.

Therefore, they have done a very good job of intelligence work in this area. They have arranged a large number of outposts, and a large number of spies have also been installed in Huai'an City.

The sentinel of the Qing army quickly returned to report, and Tang Guozhen didn't care, and continued to march.

He wasn't going to make a sneak attack. Whether he was discovered or not, there is no big problem.

The spies relayed the news back to Suqian, and Suqian guard Irgen Jueluo Ashan suddenly panicked.

Although he had 20,000 troops under his command, only more than 10,000 people came to commit the crime.

However, this did not make him feel safe in the slightest.

Many previous battles have proved that the Chinese army can win more with less. After many wars, the Qing army had a sense of fear against the Chinese army.

Moreover, the gap between weapons is also real.

"Come here, report the military situation to Xuzhou quickly and ask for support."

Ah Shan called the soldiers, ready to ask Xuzhou for help.

At the same time, he also ordered the soldiers in the city to prepare for battle.

When the order was given, the soldiers of the Qing army complained all kinds of complaints.

Now it is the twelfth lunar month of winter, and the weather is very cold. Fighting in this kind of weather is really terrible.

More importantly, the clothes on their bodies are also worn out, and the new cotton-padded clothes have not been delivered yet.

Some people in the know know that there will be no new coats this year.

Because the above is reducing all aspects of expenditure to expand the military factory.

Without new clothes, they can barely survive this winter in the house.

Yes, it would be a bit reluctant to defend the city and fight in this state.

Even if you are not killed by enemy guns, you will have to freeze your hands and feet and get frostbite if you stay outdoors for a few hours.

Frostbite is not a small problem. Frostbite of hands and feet can easily cause edema, and then the tissue will become necrotic and become useless.

Frostbite is even more troublesome and directly endangers life.

"Fight, hit a fart. We can bear it without guns. Now we don't even have warm clothes. How can we fight this battle?"

One soldier couldn't help but complained, and the other soldiers followed suit.

As long as one person takes the lead in this kind of complaint, others will follow suit.

When there are more people yelling, the people at the top will have no choice, because the Fa does not blame the public.

If these soldiers are dealt with, who will defend the city?

When the soldiers' complaints reached Ah Shan, Ah Shan did not even blame the soldiers.

Because those soldiers are all his people.

The imperial court now does not even send out some warm materials, which is too much.

Although, the imperial court's reason was that it had no money and needed to use the money to make guns.

But Ah Shan knew in his heart that the people in the imperial palace and the noble ministers were still living a life of fine clothing and jade, even using Nanjing briquettes for heating, Nanjing perfumes, and various Nanjing commodities.

And these things have a unified characteristic, expensive.

Thinking of these bad things, Ah Shan sighed in his heart.

"Go to the homes of the people in the city to collect cotton-padded clothes and give priority to the army."

Ah Shan's final solution is to go to the people's home to **** it.

If the city can't be guarded anymore, what is the use of these people to keep it?

By now, he has been lazy to take care of the life and death of the people in the city, and he is also lazy to care about the reputation of the army.

After the order was issued, the Qing army began to move in the city, knocking on doors from house to house to enter.

However, they are all ordinary people's homes, some very wealthy businesses, some officials' homes, or some related people's homes, but they don't dare to rob them.

Ordinary people are the ones who suffer.

"I will buy my cotton-padded clothes for five cents. Why, I won't sell them."

In a household, three soldiers are negotiating with a householder.

The Qing army hasn't directly grabbed it. The way they used it was to buy. It's just that there is actually no difference between buying and robbing, and paying five cents is a bit insulting.

In his order, Ah Shan explained that he should pay more as much as possible, such as buying at half price, so that the people might not resist.

However, when the above commands are executed by the people below, there will often be problems.

The soldiers at the bottom are not willing to spend so much money without reimbursement.

Even if it is reimbursed and forced to buy it at a low price, you can still make a difference.

Anyway, they have absolute force when facing the people, and they are not afraid that the people will not agree.

"If you don't sell it, you will hinder your official duties, and you will kill you without mercy. It's cheaper for you to not force you to go to the wall to help defend the city. You dare to talk so much."

A soldier drew a broad knife, apparently preparing to kill.

"This cotton-padded coat is already the only valuable thing in my family. If you **** it, I won't be able to survive this winter. If you want to kill it, I won't give it to you."

The people are also stubborn, but unfortunately, this stubbornness is sometimes a good thing, and sometimes it may not be so unclear.

His words irritated the soldier, and the soldier may also have nowhere to vent his grievances. After being angered at this time, he didn't think much, and killed the civilian with a single blow.

The screams alarmed the hostess and the children in the back room. They ran out to see the dead husband and father, and suddenly a wailing sound sounded.

The enemy is right in front of them, but they have no choice but to cry.

The two children looked at their father in a pool of blood, already shivering.

Similar wailing sounds sounded from time to time in the city.

There are many people who admit counsel, but many are forced to resist.

Some people even successfully completed the counter-kill and killed a Qing army soldier.

Subsequently, that person's family was also destroyed.

In addition to looting, some soldiers abused women in civilian homes.

It’s about to go to the battlefield. Many soldiers know that the mortality rate is very high when fighting with the Chinese army.

They were also unwilling to die in vain, and became more unscrupulous and inhuman before death.

Ah Shan knew all these things well, and then opened one eye and closed another.

He didn't dare to interfere, because now the psychological pressure of the soldiers has reached the extreme.

If he has to punish the soldiers for a little of this kind of thing, I am afraid that there will be mutiny within them before the Chinese army comes over.

After some scraping, thousands of cotton-padded clothes were collected.

But it's not enough. They have 20,000 people.

Who are these thousands of cotton clothes distributed to?

Will the soldiers who are not assigned make trouble?

"It seems that those rich people can't let it go."

A Shan gritted his teeth.

Up to now, he doesn't care whether he will offend people or cause any bad influence on Qing Dynasty.

At this moment, he just wanted to survive the immediate difficulties.
