Qianlong: Qing Dynasty?What about my Daqing?

Chapter 112 The city is broken!Colliding torrents!

"Okay!"

Under Zhu Daohua's gaze.

There was a huge gap in the thickened city wall of Ganzhou City.

Although not all the thickened rammed earth and sandbag walls collapsed.

But now the masonry structure of the original city wall has been completely destroyed.

All that remains is a layer of soft rammed earth.

It can be completely exploded by bombardment with artillery.

"Concentrate firepower and bombard the gap opened!"

Zhu Daohua ordered immediately.

soon.

The eight three-inch guns that had been repaired for a period of time were leveled.

Get ready to shoot straight.

Such a city wall with a rammed earth structure can be completely smashed by a solid bullet.

Not to mention a high-explosive bomb filled with ten catties of yellow gunpowder.

"It's just a few rounds of shelling at most, and the general attack can be launched in half an hour! Let the first grenadier battalion go up!"

Zhu Daohua held a pocket watch in his hand.

This is a European Swiss watch imitated by a factory in Foshan.

Taking twelve hours as the quarter, it is exactly twelve hours in one circle, which is one day.

Now is the moment of application.

That is three twenty in the afternoon.

"Launch a general attack at six o'clock in Shenshi! All attacking units are ready!"

Zhu Daohua just put down his pocket watch.

A knight rode over, and before the horse stopped, he turned over from the horse, landed on the ground, staggered and ran to Zhu Daohua's side.

"Your Majesty, Jin Yiwei urgently reports to Hubei and Sichuan!"

Hubei, Sichuan?
Zhu Daohua frowned slightly, he had guessed something.

really.

He opened it and confirmed his guess.

"There was a civil uprising in Hubei and Sichuan. Liu Zhixie, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, revolted in Xiangyang. Jingzhou and Xiangyang merged. Liu Zhixie claimed to be the king of heaven. He broke the prefect's office in Jingzhou and Xiangyang, and carried a large number of people and wealth to the west into Sichuan. , the White Lotus Sect members from all over Sichuan have risen one after another, and the whole Sichuan is covered in gunpowder."

Zhu Daohua handed the urgent report to Tao Biquan and explained to Napoleon at the same time.

"The White Lotus Sect is an anti-traditional force in Chinese society. Their existence is aimed at rebellion. To be honest, my ancestor Taizu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang also used the White Lotus Sect when he opposed the rule of the Mongolian Empire. the power of."

"Then this sect is really stubborn." Napoleon said in surprise.

In a large centralized empire, such sects can still exist and last for hundreds of years.

The tenacious vitality of the White Lotus Cult really surprised Napoleon.

"They are indeed natural rebels. It's a pity that they only rebel for rebellion. They may have the ability to destroy an empire, but they don't know how to create a new country."

Zhu Daohua frowned and said.

"They have entered Sichuan now, if they return to Hubei and Hunan, they will be in trouble."

There is no problem at all with defeating Liu Zhixie's Heavenly King Army head-on.

Opposite is just a group of rabble.

Even the official army at the end of the Ming Dynasty could easily defeat the refugee army with ten times the number.

But that didn't work at all.

Because of this kind of peasant army that flees and fights, it spins up and down.

A little carelessness can re-wrap tens of thousands of people to fight.

And the damage to the place is simply too great.

A riot in a province can destroy more than half of the population of a province.

So what Zhu Daohua was most worried about was that these refugee armies turned around and came out again, entering Hubei, Hunan, and even fighting in Jiangxi and Jiangnan.

"Your Majesty, it is unlikely that the rebels will go to the south to fight. They are most likely going to the north."

Tao Biquan said.

"The water network in the south is dense, and it is difficult for the rioters to move around in a large area in the south, but the north is different. If they are given time, they can run around in the entire Central Plains."

Zhu Daohua also nodded when he heard the words: "It is true in theory, but we still cannot take it lightly."

indeed.

Who knows if these refugee troops are educated or not, and if they understand the difference between the North and the South.

"And if the north is harmed by them, it will be difficult to recover."

Zhu Daohua shook his head again and again, frowning.

It's really very possible now.

Because there is no such variable as oneself in history.

The White Lotus Rebellion occurred in the first year of Jiaqing.

At that time, Qianlong was not dead yet, but he had passed the throne to Jiaqing.

And now.

It is very likely that the White Lotus Sect rebelled five years earlier because of this variable.

The timing was very accurate.

Just when the Ming and Qing dynasties deployed hundreds of thousands of troops in Jiangxi Bo, they revolted at the junction of Sichuan and Chu, where the defense was empty and the rule was weak.

Moreover, great energy erupted all of a sudden, and within a short period of time, Jingzhou and Xiangyang were completely swept away by the chaos.If nothing else, apart from the Chengdu Mansion in Sichuan, the local forces of the Qing Dynasty could not stop the advance of the White Lotus Sect army.

in history.

The Qing Dynasty spent [-] million taels of silver in military expenditures, and it took more than ten years to finally suppress the largest peasant uprising in the middle of the Qing Dynasty.

And now.

Liu Zhixie, the king of the White Lotus Sect, was not caught by the Qing Dynasty, which is completely different from the White Lotus Sect uprising in history.

This great uprising has a clear core of leadership.

"Heavenly King Liu Zhixie won't become Hong Xiuquan, will he? Then who is Yang Xiuqing?"

Zhu Daohua muttered in a low voice.

While Zhu Daohua was still digesting the sudden news.

Another gallop came.

"Your Majesty! An urgent report from Nanchang Mansion!"

Urgent report again?

Zhu Daohua frowned and finished reading the urgent report from Jinyiwei of Nanchang Mansion.

"Your Majesty, what happened to Nanchang Mansion?"

Tao Biquan asked.

Zhu Daohua handed the urgent report to Tao Biquan.

I don't know whether to cry or smile on my face.

"Qianlong may have been pissed off."

"Mad?"

Tao Biquan read the news from Nanchang.

"After Qianlong got the news of the fall of Jing and Xiang, he became furious and fell into a coma. This is the news from Nanchang Xingzai. It cannot be ruled out that Qianlong is dead, and the possibility that the ministers covered up the news."

"Is Qianlong really dead?"

Zhu Daohua asked.

Tao Biquan frowned, then shook his head and said, "It's hard to say, it's not impossible to die in a hurry."

After all, age is here.

But to say that the old emperor who ruled the Qing Empire for more than 50 years was in such a dramatic form.

Both Zhu Daohua and Tao Biquan felt a little unbelievable.

"However, I think there is a high probability that they are just comatose and not dead. Otherwise, the Nanchang camp will definitely withdraw, and the Qing court in Ganzhou will also find a way to withdraw the Baoyi Army and the Eight Banners." Tao Biquan said.

"Could it be a bluff?" Zhu Daohua asked.

"Your Majesty, our army's target this time will stop at the south of the Yangtze River at most. This point is clear to the Tartars, but the rioters in Sichuan and Hubei may not be sure. Their target is most likely the north!" Tao Biquan said.

’ That is to say, for the Qing Tartars, it is imperative to defend the Central Plains first and prevent the White Lotus Sect army from entering the Central Plains.And now they haven't made any decisions, it is very likely that their decision-making center has come to a standstill, Qianlong is in a coma, and no important minister dares to make a decision easily! '

Zhu Daohua nodded with a smile on his face.

"Your Majesty, this is a golden opportunity! We must enter Nanchang Mansion as soon as possible when no one in Qing Dynasty dares to make a decision!" Tao Biquan said in a low voice.

"That's right, if the 10,000+ elites of the Qing Dynasty are stranded in Nanchang, that is indeed our chance!!"

"let's start!"

Zhu Daohua gave an order.

Eight three-inch guns burst into flames again.

The shells roared and rushed towards the gap that was blasted open.

Several shells plunged into the rammed earth and exploded inside. One round of shelling almost broke the layer of rammed earth! !
"What's going on? What's going on?!"

After that bang.

Both Ah Gui and Fu Ankang got angry, their lips were bubbling.

"Niming blasted the city wall with explosives!"

someone said loudly.

"It's over, it's over, how can this city wall be so irresistible!"

"What can I do now!"

"Without the city wall, Shun Ming will come in!"

Agui and Fukang'an looked at each other.

"Fucha's third brother, now is the time to fight hard!"

Agui gritted his teeth and said.

"Ele Dengbao! Now you lead the Jianrui Battalion and the Baoyi Army [-] to plug the gap! Don't shoot against Niming, you can't win!"

Agui grabbed Eredengbao and confessed loudly.

"Fight hand-to-hand combat! Ambushes on both sides of the road, Ni Ming comes up and directly rushes to fight them hand-to-hand!!"

"Subordinates obey!"

Eredenbao immediately took the order and left.

Artillery battles, musket fire.

Now it seems that they are not opponents of the Ming army.

After much deliberation, Agui realized that only by creating an opportunity for hand-to-hand combat and using hand-to-hand combat against the Ming army, could the gap in weapons between the two sides be evened out.

at the same time.

Outside the city of Ganzhou.

The infantry of the Ming army approached the huge gap from both sides with muskets in company.

Just wait for the gap to be completely opened before rushing into the city!
"Mortar ready!!"

"Aim! Aim! Suppress firepower!"

The officers shouted one after another.

boom!
There was another earth-shattering sound.

The last trace of wall skin remaining on the gap was blown away, and the violent explosion sound lifted the sandbags and rammed earth, and the gap in the city wall suddenly opened up.

Boom boom boom!
Mortars began to tilt their fire towards the front of the gap.

at the same time.

An officer of the Ming army waved his command knife and jumped out of the trench first.

"Come on!! Long live King Ming! Long live Great Ming!!"

"Come on!!"

Immediately.

A red torrent rushed forward like a tide!
Wait until the smoke clears.

The red torrent has gathered at the gap, moving forward indomitably! !
waiting ahead.

Not Green Camp.

It was the elite of the Qing army led by Eredengbao!

The Ming army must have rushed in through this gap.

At this time, if you don't block the gap with absolute elites, push the Ming army back, and fill the gap again.

Then this Ganzhou city will definitely not be able to hold on!

Erdenbao took a deep breath.

"Everyone is a man of the Eight Banners, don't embarrass your ancestors!!"

"Protect the Great Qing! Protect the Emperor!"

"Come on!!"

"Protect the Great Qing, protect the Emperor! Go!!"

The Eight Banners Jianrui Battalion in white cotton armor suddenly shouted.

rushed forward.

The red and white torrents are about to collide in this narrow gap!
