Qianlong: Qing Dynasty?What about my Daqing?

Chapter 174 Entry!Entry!
"do you died?"

In the Imperial Palace of Zhongdu, in the Hall of Qinzheng of Emperor Zhu Daohua of the Ming Dynasty.

A look of surprise appeared on Zhu Daohua's face.

Speaking of which, Fukang'an's confession and suicide note have not yet been sent to Beijing.

Zhu Daohua, who was in Yingtianfu Palace, knew the news of Fukang'an's defeat earlier than Qianlong.

The battle between the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Qing army began in Henan.

Jin Yiwei sent a large number of spies to investigate the course of the war between the two sides, and of course this decisive battle will not be missed.

"Not yet, the Luohe River is too shallow." Gong Zhuman regretted.

"That means I don't want to die." Zhu Daohua waved his hand.

It's not easy to want to die, why bother to make a big fuss and make an apology and a suicide note

And made it known to the whole world.

"Now Fukang'an still has [-] cavalry in his hands, and he is still gathering routs. It is estimated that he can recover [-] to [-] cavalry." Gong Zhuman said.

"A [-]-strong army, taking back [-] to [-], would be considered a traumatic injury." Zhu Daohua stood up and stared at the sand table map of the Central Plains.

At this time, the small red flag representing the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has been planted on the edge of Luoyang, and the surrounding counties and towns have been swept away. It has once again become a possibility to carry millions of people to Beijing.

The result of this battle was not expected by the General Staff of the Generalissimo's Mansion—mainly because it did not expect that the Green Banner of the Qing Dynasty, which seemed to be quite capable of fighting in the information, would be led by the famous general Fu Kang'an of the Qing Dynasty. The war was defeated by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom!

Then the combat effectiveness of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom will be re-evaluated.

According to the intelligence from Henan battlefield.

Although the soldiers of the Heavenly Kingdom are not equipped well, their fighting will and fighting spirit are quite tenacious, and they are not afraid of hardship and death.

Such an army must be quite difficult to deal with.

Zhu Daohua muttered in his heart.

With such a powerful government soldier, he learned and summed up the essence of the peasant army's fleeing and coercing warfare in the past dynasties.

what is this?
In the early Tang Dynasty, the government soldiers joined Li Zicheng?

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom will not really bring down Beijing, will it?
I seem to have made an empirical error.

It is believed that the Qing Dynasty in history was able to suppress the White Lotus Sect uprising, which shows that the White Lotus Sect uprising is nothing special.

However, Zhu Daohua learned two knives in history, and forgot the evaluation of this uprising in history textbooks: the highest peak of the Chinese peasant movement.

They are all rated at the highest peak, and the natural scale is quite large.

Moreover, under the control of Zhu Daohua's Ming Dynasty, the Qing court could not organize a large army and regiment training to divide and encircle the rebel army in the first place.

This allowed the rebel army to completely grow in Guanzhong.

Now the manor system of manor raising soldiers has been implemented.

I have a group of heavenly soldiers who are not too many, but quite capable of fighting, not afraid of hardship, and not afraid of death.

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom with this capital is naturally completely different from the rebel army of the White Lotus Rebellion that was suppressed in history.

"Can the Qing court defend Luoyang?"

Zhu Daohua said softly.

Chang Yinghu on the side didn't answer, because he was just a secretary, not the emperor's chief of staff.

"Go and invite the left and right prime ministers, the ministers of the army and navy, and the ministers of the household department to come."

Now Zhu Daohua regretted so much that he slapped his thigh. If he had known, he would have stayed with Napoleon for a few more days—just a few days ago, Napoleon and the French mission went south to Guangzhou.

The French mission is going to Guangzhou for a big purchase.

Mainly to purchase ordnance.

With the green light given by Zhu Daohua, the missions of the French Republic can buy them openly, except for some weapons that are explicitly prohibited from export.

The purchase price is only twice as much as the Ming army's own purchase price.

Really very conscientious.

For this reason, the French Republic also sold a small colony in India to Daming at a discount of 50 Ming Yuan—of course, the money was to be paid by the coalition forces of the Indian princes.

With this small colony on the east coast of India, Sun Shiyi and his 10,000+ people don’t have to take the risk of landing operations—even in World War II, it is very difficult to organize large-scale landing operations. Great battle mode.

Its complexity can be called the culmination of all forms of war in human history.

So if you can comfortably land in a safe port, who likes to risk the front line to grab the beach.

did not expect.

Napoleon was sent away on the front foot.

The form of the Central Plains battlefield has suddenly undergone such a big change.

It completely caught Zhu Daohua by surprise.

Now his most trusted general advisor, Napoleon Bonaparte, Duke of Great Ming Jia, is going back to the turbulent European battlefield to make contributions.

Now Zhu Daohua can only rely on those cobblers in his own court to make suggestions.

I don't know that these people didn't leave their names in the history of their previous lives.

And in this life, he will definitely become wise and powerful, and the Ming textbooks of later generations will mention the glorious deeds of the heroes. What kind of advice can the founding heroes of the Ming Dynasty give?
Is the hero making the times, or the times making the heroes?
Zhu Daohua himself often can't think clearly, can't figure it out.

soon.

The important minister of Ming Dynasty who got the news.

Including Luo Fangbo, Prime Minister of the Left, Gu Song, Prime Minister of the Right, Zhang Hong, Minister of the Navy, Zhao Si, Minister of the Army and Director of the Liao Land Reclamation Department, Pan Youdu, Minister of the Household Department, Tao Biquan, Chief of Staff of the Northern Expedition Army Headquarters, and others soon arrived. come over.

On the way they had digested the startling news from the north.

The powerful fighting power of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom made the important officials of the Ming Dynasty look dignified.

It's different from Zhu Daohua who somewhat doesn't think highly of the White Lotus Rebel Army.

These important ministers of the Ming Dynasty did not have the vision filter of later generations. In their view, the leader group of this peasant army is quite powerful.

The purpose is clear and the plan is in place.

Based on Guanzhong, plot the Central Plains.

It can be said that step by step is very solid and very stable.

I am afraid that there are not many rebels who can compare with it in history.

His rank was even higher than that of Li Chuang in the Ming Dynasty.

"The Taiping Army defeated the main force of the Green Banner Army of the Qing court led by Commander Fukang'an, swept Henan, and encircled Luoyang. Once Luoyang was touched, the Taiping Army was very likely to approach Kaifeng Mansion. Kaifeng has no danger to defend, and I am afraid it will not be able to defend Wait, when the time comes to Kaifeng, the Taiping Army will bring millions of people along the Inner Hebei River, and they will be able to besiege Beijing!"

Pointing to the sand table, Tao Biquan introduced.

The possibility of the Taiping Army capturing Beijing made the faces of the ministers of the Ming Dynasty even more serious.

Capture Beijing and return to the old capital.

This is not just a military issue.

Still a big political issue.

this task.

It can only be completed by soldiers of Ming Dynasty.

If the Taiping army captured Beijing.

That would be a detriment to Daming and the prestige of Emperor Guangfu.

It's a stain.

No matter what, Daming couldn't bear it.

"The problem now is that if the Taiping Army takes Luoyang and Kaifeng, it will block our army's northward route. Is it too difficult for us to defeat the Taiping Army first and then besiege Beijing?"

Luo Fangbo frowned and said.

Staring at the map, Gu Song suddenly asked, "Duke Song, how many guns are there in Liaodong Tunken now?"

Zhao Si thought for a while and said: "Seven military settlements have been established in Liaodong, each of which has about 7 strong men, and can pull out more than 500 guns. In addition, Liaodong has also deployed a cavalry infantry brigade and an artillery battalion. , an engineer battalion with a total strength of 500 troops."

In other words, after more than eight months of hard work in the Liaodong settlement, more than 3000 men have been transported to the Liaodong Peninsula, and 7 military settlements have been established.

If the extreme mobilization.

Daming in Liaodong can pull out more than 8000 soldiers at any time.

This power is enough to sweep Liaodong, and the Qing Dynasty's Shengjing General's Mansion has only three thousand and eight banner soldiers. Even if the Shengjing Eight Banners are extremely mobilized, all males over the age of 13 will be included in the battle sequence. More than twenty thousand.

Eight thousand Ming troops fought twenty-eight banners.

Nine out of ten.

"It's not enough, it's not enough." Gu Song shook his head and said, he turned to look at Zhu Daohua: "Your Majesty, we don't have time to entangle with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in the Central Plains. If we want to go to Beijing first, we can only enter through Liaodong!"

Zhu Daohua looked at the map.

Nodded slightly.

"Entering the customs from Liaodong is one way."

Okay.

The Qing Dynasty entered the customs once from Shanhaiguan.

Now Daming comes again.

History.

It is a cycle.

"Why didn't you land at Dagukou?" Pan Youdu, Minister of the Household Department, frowned and asked.

To enter the customs from Liaodong, you need to transport the army to Liaodong by boat, and then enter the customs from Liaodong. This journey is much farther than finding a place to land directly in Bohai Bay.

Also more expensive.

"Landing at Dagukou is not feasible." Tao Biquan shook his head and said.

"Small-scale landings are useless, and large-scale landings are impossible to conceal. If a large army wants to carry out landing operations, the risk is too great. When Meng Yuanyuan's army conquered Japan, it was blown to the bottom of the sea by a typhoon. In July and August It is the typhoon season, and if it is unfavorable, there is a risk that the entire army will be capsized. In addition, it is impossible for the Qing Dynasty to be unprepared and risk the enemy's road force to land on a large scale. This is also a considerable risk. Once frustrated, the troops on board and on land If it is cut, it is dangerous."

Tao Biquan's words made everyone present nod their heads.

Compared to taking the risk of landing at Dagukou.

It is safe to disembark safely at Lushunkou, a port that the Ming army has fully controlled.

Isn't it just walking a few hundred miles more?

It's much safer than taking the risk of landing on the beach.

Once the emperor decides to go to Beijing before the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the troops going to Liaodong must definitely prepare a hundred thousand troops.

An army of one hundred thousand is considered as a force that can overwhelm a country.

Who dares to risk it casually?

Since there is a safe landing base in Liaodong, there is no need to take the risk of landing from Dagukou, Tianjin.

"Moreover, there is another advantage of entering the customs from Liaodong, that is, it cuts off the escape route of the Manchus." Gu Song said.

"The reclamation situation in Haishengwei is very ideal. Unlike historical records, the temperature in Haishengwei in summer is still quite suitable, and the conditions for agricultural production are even better than those in the Central Plains. It is possible that the current temperature is just warmer than before. Some."

Gu Song is not a climatologist, so of course he didn't know that after the Little Glacier, the East Asian continent has entered a warm and humid period.

This is also one of Manqing's luck.

After they entered the customs, the decades-long drought in the Central Plains was relieved, rainfall began to increase, and the average temperature also began to rise.
"So Liaodong and Liaobei cannot be allowed to let these millions of bannermen go back. If they want to fight to the death in Beijing, then I will destroy their entire clan! If they want to run, they should run to the northwest, to the grasslands superior!"

Zhu Daohua said.
