Qianlong: Qing Dynasty?What about my Daqing?

Chapter 111 The Way of the Ming Army to Attack the City

Fukang'an took a deep breath.

"The general is right, this is the result we originally envisioned!"

Attract the Ming army to Gongcheng, use the city's defense system to create enough damage to the Ming army, and make the Ming army pay the price.

This was the original plan of the Qing army.

Even now the Golden Fort was broken in a day.

This program should also continue to be implemented.

Whether it's because of luck or not.
"Come on! Call everyone!"

"Ni Ming wants to make a contribution to the city, I will put my words here first, I will live and die with Ganzhou!~"

"Yes! I will too!"

Two Qing army generals in Ganzhou shouted loudly.

"The walls of Ganzhou City are so thick, it seems that the opponent is well prepared."

Looking at the layout plan of Ganzhou city in his hand, the most eye-catching thing is the thick city wall.

Originally according to the information obtained by Zhu Daohua.

The thickness of the top of the city wall of Ganzhou City is about two meters.

The thickness of the wall base may have reached five meters.

but now.

The thickness of the city walls of Ganzhou City can be said to have undergone a major repair.

First, a circle of sandbag walls is formed, and then soil is filled and compacted between the sandbag walls and the original city wall.

The thickness has increased a lot.

A large number of bomb shelters were also built at the foot of the city wall.

"The amount of work is not small!"

Zhu Daohua gave Napoleon the city defense plan of Ganzhou drawn by two hot air balloons high in the sky.

Napoleon looked at it and knew it.

"It takes a lot of explosives to break through the city wall. Before that, you need to prepare some firepower. My lord, this is my latest opinion. The firepower must be concentrated and used, just like a fist. Concentrate energy on One point, as long as a gap is opened, it will be like a dam collapsing, unstoppable."

Napoleon looked at the city defense map in his hand and handed it to a staff officer beside him.
"Got to knock out their ridiculous mortars with a howitzer first."

Napoleon said.

"Pull those eight big treasures over here, the explosive power of their shells can ensure that all the artillery on the opposite side will be blown up!" Napoleon muttered when he said this: "It's a pity that there are only eight. '

Zhu Daohua shook his head and said, "Bonaparte, it's not that the lonely king is reluctant to give up money, but that this kind of front-loading rifled gun has made too many compromises in order to smoothly insert the shells into the muzzle. The future of artillery can only be the future. Load rifled guns!"

Zhu Daohua is always very firm about the development direction of this kind of military technology.

After all, he knew it.

A correct direction is often more difficult than solving technical difficulties.

For example, when tanks appear.

There are all kinds of very magical multi-turret designs.

In the end, after being beaten, everyone knew that the single turret design of the tank was the most reasonable and optimal design solution.

And similar cases abound.

The reason why the Ming army under Zhu Daohua's command was able to develop rapidly in military division equipment.

It is because Zhu Daohua opened the hook and knew which direction was correct.

Save a lot of time to fumble and explore.

So Zhu Daohua will not devote resources to this excessive type of artillery.

"Okay, well, anyway, we don't expect to use cannons to blow down the city walls of Ganzhou City. Although it takes a week or two of bombardment, the walls of Ganzhou City will definitely not be able to withstand it. But now the other party has no There's no room for a counterattack, especially after blasting away their large mortars that fire round bloomers."

said Napoleon.

I can't stand it for sure.

Because it is compared with the wooden support bomb that could not withstand the high chamber pressure and could only be ejected with a small amount of propellant.

The shell shell of this howitzer, which is close to the shell configuration of later generations, is a one-piece cast steel with a thickness of two centimeters.

The chamber pressure that can withstand is no less than that of ordinary pig iron solid shells.

Therefore, the projectile ejection speed is very high, and it can be directly aimed at the city wall design like a solid projectile. The projectile explodes after being embedded in the city wall, and its destructive power is much greater than that of a solid projectile.

"Well, anyway, you will be the commander in chief of the siege. After taking Ganzhou City in five days, go north and bite Nanchang City. Now it depends on whether Qianlong dares to stay in Nanchang. If he has the guts to stay in Nanchang , When the iron-clad ship of the lonely king enters the Yangtze River, he will not be able to escape even if he wants to. If the army of the lonely king arrives, he will run away directly. Let me see how the gentry of the world will think of such a Tartar emperor."

The corners of Zhu Daohua's mouth rose.

The Eight Banners of Manchuria relied on force and coercion to control the Han gentry, but now if the Tartars have no force to suppress.

He wanted to see how many Han gentry were rushing to serve the Tartars as dogs.

If there is really someone who is loyal to Manchu.
Then they are the accomplices who swore to the death to defend the cruel reactionary rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

It must be completely wiped out.
The current Zhu Daohua still doesn't know that Emperor Qianlong of Nanchang has been temporarily turned into a vegetable by anger.

So before the official start of the siege.

He is still very polite and polite.

Through a Manchu Qing official who refused to surrender after being captured (there are still some loyal ministers), he sent a letter of persuasion to surrender and entered Ganzhou City.

In the letter, Zhu Daohua stated that it was the upper-class nobles of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, the vested interests of the Qing Empire, who committed the crime.

The vast number of lower-level banner people are actually part of being oppressed and exploited.

Therefore, Zhu Daohua explained in the letter how the Ming Dynasty dealt with those who surrendered.

For those who are willing to pledge allegiance, let bygones be bygones and use them according to their capacity.

For those who are unwilling to pledge allegiance, they will be imprisoned until the end of the war, or they will be exchanged for captured Ming personnel.

At the same time, it emphasized that Ming Dynasty's ethnic policy is to give priority to Han people.

However, if ordinary banner people change their surnames to Han, they can also be treated as Han people—after all, they can’t speak Manchurian or write Manchurian characters.

As for the accomplices of the reactionary rule of the Qing Empire, including the bannerman bureaucrats and the Han bureaucrats, they all need to be reformed, and their fate will be determined according to their performance.

This kind of treatment can be said to be quite magnanimous, benevolent and righteous.

pity.

The reactionary leaders of the Qing Empire, headed by Agui and Fukang'an, arbitrarily rejected Daming's persuasion to surrender, and stubbornly resisted to the end. Even when they knew that they could no longer resist, they even pulled tens of thousands of Qing troops together to fight for the decadent and reactionary Qing Empire. The burial of the stubborn, sinful reign.

This is a post-war report from the Daily News.

The actual situation is.

The head of the loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty who entered the city with the letter of persuasion was sent out, but his body remained in the city.

Since the other party doesn't talk about martial virtues, of course Zhu Daohua wants to let the tartars see his martial virtues.

Eight thick pipes roared and poured firepower forward.

The observer on the hot air balloon is responsible for observing the effect of the damage, and communicates with the ground at any time through the line.

Correct and guide the firing angle and orientation of the artillery at any time.

In case the sky has eyes.

The effect of the Ming army's cannon fire was very good.

Several rounds of shooting.

All the mortar positions carefully arranged by Agui were blasted into the sky.

After there is no threat of curved fire in the city.

A large number of large-caliber mortars approached to establish a position only about two hundred steps away from the city of Ganzhou.

The shells of large-caliber mortars are now also cast in one piece with a steel shell, which has a longer range and a larger charge!
The sound of the eight long-range large-caliber howitzers just stopped.

Dozens of howitzers began to lean towards the front wall with more intensive firepower.

The entire area was covered by artillery fire, and it was impossible for anyone to exist on this wall.

After blasting away the defenders around the city wall.

The artillery fire began to extend forward, forming a isolation belt.

Under cover of fire.

The blasting team of the Ming army swaggered and carried the explosive package to the bottom of the city wall.

Dig a hole on the city wall, fill the explosive package, and pull the detonator lead back.

"Okay! It went well!"

Zhu Daohua saw the action of the blasting team through the telescope.

Under the guidance of the lookout on the hot air balloon, the long-range artillery blasted away the enemy's long-range curved fire.

Dense large-caliber mortar fire cover.

The blasting team carried out blasting.

Such a siege strategy.

It was kicked out by Napoleon.

Concentrate your firepower and attack a little.

Blast the walls away with dynamite!

In order to ensure smooth.

Before this, the Ming army had conducted many similar military exercises.

Experiment with the damage effect of yellow powder explosion on the city wall.

The result is very gratifying.

In later generations, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom often used this method to attack cities.

The level of castle construction in the Qing Dynasty actually stayed at the level at the end of the Ming Dynasty, maybe not as good.

Because on the one hand, the Qing Dynasty implemented a severe literary prison.

The circulation of similar books is strictly prohibited.

on the other hand.

The rulers of the Qing Dynasty did not have much motivation to build a strong city in Han - after all, they were ready to run back to their hometown in the Northeast at any time.

This has led to a time when Europe was playing with various complex bastions to adapt to warfare in the artillery era.

There was basically no response from the Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, even when the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom did not have much high-explosive explosives and did not have such superior fire cover as the Ming army, they could attack the city by digging trenches and blowing up the city walls.

The more professional Ming army will have no problem.

In the city of Ganzhou.

Agui and Fukang'an had no idea what happened under the city.

Because the artillery fire of the Ming army blocked everything.

They don't know why the Ming army keeps bombarding this area, preventing everyone from entering.

"Your Majesty, everything is ready!"

"let's start!"

"Yes!"

The demolitionist in charge of the explosion saluted excitedly.

What an honor to be personally received by King Ming!
Wait for Zhu Daohua, Napoleon and others to enter the trenches.

The detonator was ignited.

The lead burns quickly and goes along the ground towards the front wall.

The shelling had ceased.

All the artillerymen entered the trenches to hide, and those who were more courageous poked their heads out and exposed their eyes to look ahead.

at last.

The detonator burned to the brim.

After the shelling stopped, some soldiers of the Qing army also boarded the city wall to look around.

just.

How could he see that a big hole had been dug beneath the city wall.

Stuffed in at least a hundred catties of explosives.

After the spark of the detonator ignited the explosive.

boom! !

The earth shook suddenly.

Fire burst.

The masonry was suddenly blasted into the sky.

Thick smoke rose from the ground.

Wait until the smoke clears.
A huge gap.

Appeared on the city wall of Ganzhou City! !
