Qianlong: Qing Dynasty?What about my Daqing?

Chapter 130 Will there be a Northern and Southern Dynasties?
Just when the war on both sides of the river came to an end.

Under the city of Hanzhong, fierce battles are in full swing.

Arrows, throwing stones, and rolling logs were densely packed with the city wall as the junction line.

Groups of soldiers of the Heavenly King Army carrying ladders and wearing red turbans rushed forward shouting.

In addition to the red turbans on their heads, these soldiers have different clothes and weapons.

There are spears, rattan tokens, and waist knives seized from the Qing army, as well as agricultural tools such as hoes and dung forks, as well as various strange weapons that they made with their own creativity.

Of course, there are also quite a few men who are unarmed and don't even have a stick.

Ants attack the city.

The casualties were great.

It's also like the Heavenly King Army, which is not afraid of losing cannon fodder, can use this method of siege unscrupulously.

In fact.

Now those who are mobilized to climb the city wall are veritable cannon fodder.

The Tianwang Army is divided into three levels: the outer battalion, the inner battalion, and the old battalion.

The foreign camp is the newly coerced people.

The inner camp consisted of selected young adults.

As for the old battalion, the young and strong from the outer battalion can join the old battalion after they survive a few battles and become veterans.

The treatment of the three battalions is of course different in level.

If you want to get better treatment, get a reward.

Then you have to fight to the death.

In the Heavenly King Army.

The logic of survival is so simple.

This is also the situation of countless peasant uprising armies in history most of the time.

The system construction is very rough, but it can burst out a strong fighting force in the early stage.

With one heart, all the way forward, crushing everything that stands in their way.

And two miles below the city wall of Hanzhong, which is fighting fiercely.

Under the banner of the Heavenly King with the word "Heavenly King" written on it.

A row of old battalions of the Heavenly King Army stood quietly.

Compared with those outside battalion soldiers who are attacking.

The guys in their hands are much more tidy.

According to the different weapons used.

There are musket camps, spear camps, bow and arrow camps, and rattan camps.

They all formed a phalanx, waiting for the opportunity to launch a general attack.

Liu Zhixie revealed his old camp.

It means that the siege of Hanzhong has reached the last moment!

"The tunnel has almost been dug below the city wall. If there are no accidents, today's army can break through Hanzhong City, and then go straight to Xi'an! By then, the land in Guanzhong will belong to the Heavenly King!"

The one who was speaking was Zhang Hanchao, the military adviser of the Heavenly King Liu Zhixie, who was named King Wen.

Now the Heavenly King's army is in addition to the Heavenly King.

There are also Di Wang Qi Lin, Wen Wang Zhang Hanchao, and Wu Wang Yao Zhifu.

What a total system of four kings.

Follow the advice of this dog-headed military division.

The Heavenly King Army is going to take Guanzhong as its base.

But to enter Guanzhong from Shu.

Attacking Hanzhong City is inevitable.

Under the city of Hanzhong, the Heavenly King's army had already stopped for more than a month.

If we don't break the city, the king's army will not have enough food for this day.

For the Tianwang army, there is no problem of logistical supplies.

They are mobile coercion operations.

Where to go, where to eat.

If it was before, when encountering a strong city like Hanzhong, most of them would not attack it, but go around it, like flowing water.

It's like Chengdu in Sichuan.

Although there are millions of people under his command, Liu Zhixie is also very clear.

Relying on a group of ordinary people who have never been in battle to break through Chengdu, which is guarded by regular troops, and has gathered a large number of Sichuan Army regiments to train, it is a dream.

So they didn't go to Chengdu to try their luck, they just took the people around them and continued northward.

If Hanzhong can be successfully captured now.

This day, the Wang army can be regarded as having experience in attacking Jiancheng.

It will be more sure to attack Xi'an in the future.

Seeing General Hanzhong go down, he has taken a crucial step towards the goal he set before.

The expression on Liu Zhixie's face was not pretty.

Even a little gloomy.

Because just now, the envoy he sent to Guangzhou to ask to see Ming Wang Zhu Daohua returned.

Tell him a news that makes him extremely angry.

His envoy never saw Zhu Daohua at all.

Zhu Daohua did not agree to his request to become a minister.

Instead, he made a strong request.

The White Lotus Sect must leave Sichuan within two months, otherwise the Ming army will drive them away by force!
This is not treating Liu Tianwang as a person at all - after all, Zhu Daohua was influenced by later generations, and felt that this power, which could even be balanced by Emperor Jiaqing of the Qing Dynasty, was indeed not worthy of his attention.

This was a small mistake made by Zhu Daohua.

But for Liu Zhixie, he felt a great humiliation.

So much so that even the good news that Hanzhong was going to be captured didn't make him happy.

"Heavenly King, if Zhu Daohua wants Sichuan, give it to him. Anyway, we don't plan to stay in Sichuan for a long time." Qi Lin comforted.

In fact, if you say you don't care about Sichuan, it is to comfort yourself. After all, when the Great Qin ruled the world, it first took Bashu to strengthen its strength.

Just relying on Guan Zhong's words sounds a little unsafe.

But what can be done now, the Ming army has just defeated the army led by Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, and it is the time when the momentum is in full swing. Is the Tianwang army going back to Sichuan to fight the Ming army?

not to mention.

The southern water network is densely covered, and it is not suitable for running and fighting.

Liu Zhixie snorted coldly, and said: "This Zhu Daohua doesn't take this king seriously, it's extremely hateful!"

But Zhang Haichao said with a smile: "Don't be angry, the king of heaven. I thought that Zhu Daohua suddenly conquered half of the southern world after Ming Taizu. I thought he was a rare hero in the world. I didn't expect that he humiliated the wise like this. He didn't understand the principle of cooperating to fight against the Qing Dynasty." , it seems that it is just a false name!"

"And he wants Sichuan to give it to him. After all, the land of Shu is not as good as Guanzhong. If the king wins Guanzhong, he can advance, attack, retreat and defend, and he will be invincible."

Hearing this, Liu Zhixie looked a little better.

Just now.

There was a sudden loud noise from the city wall ahead, which stunned the soldiers on both sides who were fighting fiercely.

After the bang.

All I saw was the masonry city wall wobbly falling forward, and the bricks were scattered forward on the ground, forming a slope leading to the gap that appeared on the city wall.

"It exploded!"

Liu Zhixie was overjoyed.

Blowing up the city walls with gunpowder was inspired by the Ming army's bombing of Ganzhou City.

In order to successfully dig the tunnel under the foundation of the city wall, the Heavenly King Army launched a series of high-intensity attacks.

And in order to ensure that the city wall can be smashed down once, the Tianwang army filled the coffin with gunpowder, dug a hole in the city wall, and sealed the hole with rammed earth and stones to ensure that the explosive force of the gunpowder could be applied to the city wall. Go up and shake the city wall down.

Originally, Liu Zhixie planned to try a few more times, but he didn't expect that the effect of bombarding the city wall with gunpowder was so good, and he succeeded in one attempt.

"Go to the old battalion! If you break through Hanzhong, you can go straight to Xi'an!"

A satisfied smile appeared on Liu Zhixie's face.

"Jie Lian is born, the Heavenly King saves the world!"

Yao Zhifu, the number one general of the Tianwang Army, suddenly brandished a machete and rushed forward.

"Kill!!"

The shouts burst out one after another.

Countless warriors of the Heavenly King Army with their heads wrapped in red cloth jumped out of the trenches outside Hanzhong City.

Wielding spears, knives, and shields in his hands.

Shouting, he rushed towards the city wall of Hanzhong City that had just been breached by the "hole blasting method".

Although there are still [-] Qing Army Green Battalions and some Eight Banners soldiers defending in the city.

But with so few people.

It is absolutely impossible to stop the Taiping Army like a tide.

The fighting in the northwest failed to affect the tranquility on the river.

The great river runs eastward and flows into the sea, straddling the land of China like a giant dragon, witnessing all the joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys here.

Most of the fields on both sides of the strait were deserted, but in the south, some farmers were seen replanting seedlings, and it was already June.

The hottest season of the year is approaching.

According to the original farming time, it is time for the wind to blow the fragrance of rice and flowers on both sides of the bank.

However, due to the war, many fields on both sides of the Yangtze River have not been able to plant rice. It is foreseeable that this winter will be a more difficult winter for ordinary people.

It's on the river's waterway like a jade belt.

A large, strange-looking ship was sailing upstream.

The whole body of the big ship was painted white, without masts, without sails, as for several large chimneys emitting smoke.

However, the speed is quite fast. When going upstream, it surpassed many sailboats with the same sails upstream.

The sun and moon flag hanging high on the highest point of the ship was completely flying because of this.

"How can this ship go so fast without a sail?"

The one who was breathing smoke like the ship was an old man who looked a little fat.

Holding a big pipe in his hand, he took a sharp sip. After a long time, the smoke came out of his nostrils and was quickly blown away by the wind.

"Not only that, it's still an iron-clad ship!" Liu Yong said, stomping on the deck vigorously, making a sound of gold and iron.

"Where did this great Ming Dynasty come from with so many wonderful skills?" Big Yandai said with a sigh.

"Who would know? You, Ji Xiaolan, are said to be knowledgeable and talented. Don't you know what's going on with this iron boat?"

Liu Yong stood on the deck with his hands behind his back, turned to look at Ji Xiaolan and asked.

Ji Xiaolan smiled wryly.

"How can I know how this iron can float on the water, and what drives the iron boat forward? This is really hard to figure out."

Liu Yong sighed: "In the Ming Dynasty, the weapons were sharp, and now there are such magical things as sailless ironclad ships. It seems that it is impossible for the Qing Dynasty to cross the river no matter what."

Liu Yong, as the person in charge of the negotiations going south, naturally couldn't be the one who came alone, but brought officials of all sizes.

Contact started from the Jiangning front line, and then Daming arranged for an ironclad ship to pick up Liu Yong and his party in Jiangbei to go south.

And the shock that this ironclad ship brought to Liu Yong and his party was naturally not small.

This is also a temporary strength, telling the Qing Dynasty.

There are warships like this that cross the Yangtze River and the sea.

It is absolutely impossible for the Qing Dynasty to be able to confront the Ming Dynasty on the rivers and seas.

The Qing Dynasty could not leap the Yangtze River, and if the Ming Dynasty wanted to pinch the Qing Dynasty by seven inches, he could pinch it anytime.

"Will there be a Northern and Southern Dynasties?"

Ji Yun Ji Xiaolan, who was silent for a long time, asked.

Liu Yong did not answer.

Instead, he shook his head slightly.
