Qianlong: Qing Dynasty?What about my Daqing?

Chapter 175 Entering the Customs and the Northern Expedition, the North and South Attack!

Hearing Zhu Daohua's words, Luo Fangbo began to think about it.

Enter the customs from Liaodong.

An army of [-] has to be prepared.

In addition, they have to spend the Yangtze River soldiers entering Huainan.

How can there be seven to eighty thousand in it?
This is nearly 20 troops.

In addition, Hai Shengwei discovered the Cossack cavalry of Tsarist Russia, and increased the number of troops by [-], bringing the total force to [-]. Although there are not many troops, the distance is far away. Although Japan can purchase food supplies, But it was also mobilizing troops thousands of miles away.

The other is the beach of the Indian Ocean.

Zhu Daohua's reminder was also urgent.

But now we have to wait for the envoys of the French Republic to set off together, because although the colony of French India has been sold to Ming Dynasty, but in this era, there is no telephone and no telegrams. Only when the special envoy of the French plenipotentiary to the East comes forward can we prove that France Did they really sell the small colony of French India to Daming?

Liaodong, Huainan, Vladivostok, Indian Ocean.

This is four stalls, four wars.

Fight four wars at the same time.

In the previous dynasty, no matter what, they would be called militaristic or something.

In fact, there are quite a few gentry in the south of the Yangtze River talking about it, saying that the Ming Dynasty was too powerful in martial arts, that it was too aggressive and disrespectful of the power of the people.

On the surface, this is indeed the case. There are still large-scale industries in the country, employing hundreds of thousands of workers to repair railways and ports.

They also organized immigrants to reclaim Borneo, Liaodong, and Haishengwei.

Attacking from all sides, fighting in the Central Plains and Liaodong is nothing more than fighting in Haishengwei and Tsarist Russia. It is justifiable.

So what's the matter with sending tens of thousands of soldiers to bully India.

It's really too much martial arts.

But now in the court of Ming Dynasty, officials from Guangdong and Hunan have the upper hand.

Cantonese are always happy to go out to sea.

In addition, the Cantonese who became high-ranking officials in the Ming court were not from orthodox scholar-bureaucrat backgrounds. Most of them were from local clans in Guangdong who had wandered in Nanyang. What is morally wrong with bullying the people of India.

The Hunan gentry were deeply influenced by the pragmatism of the Sanxiang School of economics and economics, and they had little opinion on the expansion of the Ming Dynasty in these directions, and they were even regarded as opportunities to make contributions.

Although the gentry in the Liangjiang area complained a bit, they had little influence for the time being, and it was not the time of the Ming Dynasty, when the saints of Donglin were assisting the government.

Therefore, these complaints could not affect the decision-making of the Ming court.

In fact, although there are many stalls, the financial situation of the Ming Dynasty is still very healthy.

The main source of tax revenue for the new Ming Dynasty comes from the customs duties and trade taxes at various ports, and at the same time, there are means of generating income for the Ming court through monetary and financial policies.

It can be said that the new Ming court is far superior to the former Ming and Qing in terms of the control and application of resources.

"The army going north from Huainan already has a budget. Now it is necessary to add a special budget to enter the customs from Liaodong. In terms of finance, it needs to make a certain deficit."

Zhu Daohua said.

The fiscal policy of the Ming court was to maintain a basic balance of payments, and not too worried about a small deficit.

"A [-]-strong army going north needs to purchase a horse to fight in Liaodong. Although it is summer, the winter in Liaodong is early, and a batch of thick cotton clothes needs to be purchased. In addition, there are tents and military boots for winter. In this regard Just take it out for bidding and send out bidding sheets to private factories.”

The procurement by the Ming court was also a means to stimulate the economy.

War is not just consumption for Ming Dynasty.

Including the employment of a large number of manpower, the purchase of military supplies, etc., a large amount of money flowed from the treasury of the Ming Dynasty to the private sector, allowing the currency to participate in the economic cycle and supporting the development and growth of more factories.

Since the war was not carried out in the main industrial areas of Ming Dynasty, the investment of the Ming court in the war did not affect the economic development of the Ming court. Instead, the large amount of investment drove the cycle of the domestic economy, stimulated production capacity, and expanded employment— —This may be the so-called war boom.

This war did not make the Ming Dynasty decline day by day, on the contrary, it seemed to become more and more prosperous.

It was so strange that many officials of the Ming Dynasty were a little puzzled.

"Isn't the situation in Henan really getting out of hand?"

Forbidden City Imperial Palace.

Qianlong also got the news of Fukang'an's defeat.

Judging from the battle report.

The army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is simply heavenly soldiers and generals. Tens of thousands of troops forcibly crossed the river, and then launched a hand-to-hand combat attack without rest.

Hold the shells and bullets to a distance of about a dozen steps and shoot, and then launch a hand-to-hand charge.

This is also outrageous.

If this is the case, it is really not wrong for Fukang'an to lose.

Only if the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is really so powerful.

So now in the war of the Three Kingdoms, wouldn't the weakest become the Qing Dynasty?

It doesn't matter if they can't defeat the Ming army in field battles, but now even the Taiping army, which teaches bandits, is somewhat invincible in field battles.

The situation in the Qing Dynasty is getting worse and worse.

"Your Majesty, the city of Luoyang is high and deep, and the bandits will not be able to attack it in a short time. However, they divided their troops into two groups, besieged Luoyang all the way, and went northward to Huaiqing Mansion, Weihui Mansion, and Zhangde Mansion. Zhili."

It was He Shen, Minister of Military Aircraft, who was speaking.

Since Sun Shiyi, the governor of Zhejiang in the Qing Dynasty and the head of the Zhejiang regiment training, did not follow the principles of loyalty of the Qing court, fought against the Ming Dynasty in Zhejiang, but directly shrank in Hangzhou, and finally surrendered to seek the position of the Duke of the Ming Dynasty.

This Qianlong didn't trust Hanchen a little bit.

Therefore, all the people present here are full of important ministers.

People like Liu Yong, Dong Gao, and Wang Jie have all been marginalized.

Qianlong's mind, who was over eighty, also began to become old and dizzy.

"Zhili can't let the religious bandits in, let Le Bao be the governor of Zhili, and organize the Zhili gentry to hold a group training, so as not to be taken advantage of by the religious bandits." Qianlong stood up and frowned and said, "Ah Gui led [-] Ride south to Henan, and make peace with Fukang'an, we must keep the religious bandits in the very territory!"

Now for the Qing court.

The main opponent has become the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which may send troops northward at any time and besiege Beijing with millions of people.

"Heavenly King, the captives and seizures have been counted. There are more than 600 people with arms and legs, more than 63 flintlock guns, and [-] cannons. The cannons seem to be iron cannons made by the Qing Dynasty themselves, but That musket is actually a musket made in Guangdong."

"Made in Guangdong"

Liu Zhixie couldn't help shaking his head when he heard the words.

The Ming Dynasty was so lax in controlling such weapons.

Even the Qing Dynasty could buy thousands of muskets from various channels.

It really shouldn't be.

"The Ming Dynasty doesn't know what's going on. They don't want ours to be used as guns. When we go north, they follow behind to pick up leaks, right?"

Yao Zhifu frowned and said.

"Let's pick up the leaks. Let's wait for Beijing. There is a strong city in hand, so why not be afraid." Liu Zhixie took a deep breath and said, "Scatter the captives and organize them into the fusiliers of the outer battalion, and then set off to the north!"

"Stop attacking Luoyang?"

Yao Zhifu was taken aback.

"Stop fighting, the Qing Dynasty will definitely send troops south to Henan, why should our army entangle with them in Henan, the Central Plains is so big, where can't we go?"

Liu Zhixie's voice just fell.

There is a ride south.

"Heavenly King! The Ming army is dispatched! A large number of Ming troops crossed the Yangtze River and entered Huainan. The prefectures of Anhui and Jiangsu are waiting to see the wind!"

Liu Zhixie and Yao Zhifu glanced at each other.

"Sure enough, the Ming Dynasty is unwilling to be lonely, and this battle in Henan made wedding dresses for them!" Yao Zhifu said angrily.

"Three Kingdoms contend for hegemony, that's how it is!" Liu Zhixie took a deep breath, "Nanming has more support from the gentry than us, as long as Nanming doesn't cross the Huaihe River, we don't care! The king wants to take all the land north of the Huaihe River! If Nanming Come, I will turn around and head south with millions of people!"

Liu Zhixie gritted his teeth and said.

Before, he planned to use the Yangtze River as the boundary with Daming, but now that the Ming army was dispatched, he began to push the bottom line to the Huaihe River again.

In the heart of the king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

I am somewhat afraid of the Ming army.

After all, the ten thousand pieces of "Ming Equipment" he had in hand was already his trump card, and up to now, the Heavenly Kingdom Army hadn't really fought against the Qing Dynasty's Eight Banners elite, and the Ming Dynasty had wiped out many of the Qing Dynasty's main forces one after another.

Therefore, we should say that we are facing the Ming Dynasty now.

Liu Zhixie was really worried.

at the same time.

On the north bank of the Yangtze River, teams of Ming soldiers wore fiery red uniforms, stretching for more than ten miles as if they couldn't see the side.

The army rolled forward all the way.

In charge of commanding the Northern Expeditionary Army was Zhao Si, Shangshu of the Ministry of War.

However, according to the order of the General Staff, this army was going to pick peaches.

Now the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Qing Dynasty are fighting with Henan, and the land of Huainan is empty, so the army took advantage of the emptiness and occupied the Huainan prefectures. There are also a large number of magistrates dispatched to the localities to act together with the army. The government held imperial examinations to prepare for recruiting local scholars as officials.

This time the Ming army's northern expedition, the bottom line is the south of the Qinling Mountains/Huaihe River, and it will be adjusted according to the battle situation between the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Qing army. If the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is determined to go north.

Then the Northern Expeditionary Army will also cross the Huaihe River and take Henan and Shandong into their pockets.

If the Taiping army turns around and goes south, they will be firmly blocked in Henan, and they must not be allowed to cross the Huaihe River!

And the other side.

The Liaodong front army led by Zhu Daohua himself has also begun to board ships and go northward in batches. The army must first land at Lushunkou, then break through the Shanhaiguan Pass from the Liaoxi Corridor, and approach the city of Beijing. Before the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom army, break through Beijing first!
At this time, the mobilization order had been issued to the Tunsi of the Liaodong Army.

The Liaodong garrison and the local army garrisoned [-] soldiers. They first went north, first attacked Gaizhou, and then went north to Liaoyang. All-time emptiness.

Lin Ning, the general of Shengjing in the Qing Dynasty, sent letters of appeal for help one after another to the city of Beijing.

The sudden large-scale mobilization of the Ming army in Liaodong also caused the Qing court to panic.

The Northern Expeditionary Army of the Ming Dynasty went northward, and Liaodong suddenly made another big move.

There is a posture of entering the customs from the south of Liaodong, and going north from Huainan, attacking Zhili from both sides!
