Qianlong: Qing Dynasty?What about my Daqing?

Chapter 229 The Qing Dynasty also has Rocket Army!

"The Qing army is staying in Gaoyang, and they seem to be going to fight our army in Anping!"

"Is it possible to wait for the Northern Expeditionary Corps to unite before moving forward?"

"No! No, if this is the case, the Qing court will not fight, and no one will fight a battle that must be defeated!"

"Is there enough food for our army?"

"There are only three days left after arriving in Gaoyang. If we want to fight in Anyang, the pressure on the army rations will be great!"

"How long does it take to get food from the latest food war?"

"If there is no obstruction from the war, it will take two days."

"It is recommended to stay for a few days before heading to Gaoyang."

"The war opportunity is fleeting, and the Qing army may flee at any time if the situation is not good!"

"You can feed on the enemy! The Qing army's 10,000+ army also needs to rely on food wars to operate!"

"I don't think so, the risk is too great!"

"The enemy army must be coming towards our grain road. Once the grain road is cut off, our army will be in danger!"

"With the combat power of our army, the enemy can't surround our army. Our army can use food roads as bait to induce the enemy to fight in the field!"

After Qianlong assumed the posture of stationing troops in Gaoyang.

The staff of the Guards Corps was noisy.

The young staff officers who graduated from the Daming Military Academy expressed their opinions.

There are brave fighters who think that the opportunity is not lost, and they should immediately pounce on the enemy and defeat the enemy.

There are also those who think that the Qing army must have premeditatedly lengthened our army's food road, and used superior forces to attack our army's food road. To be safe, we should stop advancing and wait to join forces with the Northern Expedition Corps to ensure that the food road is safe before continuing to move forward. .

The two sides argued endlessly.

The military adviser Tao Biquan and the emperor Zhu Daohua did not prevent the staff officers from arguing, but were staring at the map.

"Your Majesty, the Tartars must be raiding the grain road to force our army to pay attention to it. It would be a bit risky to pounce on it now."

Tao Biquan said.

"The military advisor thinks it's safe?" Zhu Daohua asked.

he knows.

If he followed the steps, he would fight with Zhao Si's Northern Expedition Army in a mighty way.

Then Qianlong must have run away.

And this is not the situation Zhu Daohua wants to see, because even Qianlong wants to run away.

He also won't allow him to run with 10,000+ cavalry.

He will not let Qianlong's capital be so thick.

Otherwise, it would be a big trouble for him to go to the Western Regions and collude with Tsarist Russia.

Therefore, it is necessary to defeat the opponent as much as possible on the Central Plains battlefield, and if possible, wipe out his 10,000+ cavalry—but Zhu Daohua also knows it.The difficulty of annihilating 10,000+ cavalry is comparable to the sky.

It's pretty good to be able to destroy as many opponents as possible while defeating them.

"No, I think it's an opportunity, it's just...we certainly can't be too aggressive."

Tao Biquan was also staring at the map.

"Your Majesty, Qianlong now has six of the Eight Banners on hand, and each banner has the establishment of infantry, cavalry, and artillery. It includes eight infantry towns, each with 1 people, and five associations. There are 2000 people in the association, and the synthesis rate is very high!"

That's right.

Now in the eastern battlefield also pay attention to the degree of synthesis.

The so-called combined reading means that the combination of Musketeers, Artillery, Cavalry, Supplies, and Engineers is incorrect.

Due to the lack of firepower density, the Qing army did not combine 5000 people in a brigade of the Ming army. Instead, it formed a town with 1 people in each town. There were two infantry associations and two cavalry associations under it. Participate in the synthesis of another association.

It can be said that the preparation is quite advanced.

Qianlong had eight of such "high synthesis words army town" on hand!
Among them, there were two embroidered yellow flags he brought out, and one each for the other five flags.

Besides.

It is the Mongolian soldiers with a number of up to [-].

Among them, [-] Mongolian soldiers have also undergone "mule transformation".

Just give up the scimitar, bow and arrow.

Armed with a flintlock instead.

Fully learn the fighting methods of the mule soldiers of the Ming army.

There are [-] Mongols who have undergone "mule transformation" in this way.

It is not that the remaining [-] Mongols do not want to reform or seek progress.

mainly.
Not enough guns.

Although it is said that the Qing Dynasty was supported by British craftsmen, it made great progress in the production capacity of flintlock guns and artillery.

But no matter how great the progress is, it is still a government-run handicraft industry that is stuck in the handicraft era.

In terms of production efficiency, it can't be compared with Daming who has already entered the era of industrialization.

So there is no way.

Of the [-] Mongols, [-] were scouts, and the other [-]
Transformed into shock cavalry.

This was the advice offered by the British advisers in the Qing army.

The current Qing Dynasty has advanced to the point where it has Western consultants.

It's really improved for almost 200 years
It's really amazing.

At the suggestion of British military advisers.

These Mongolian cavalry abandoned the light cavalry tactics of using bow harassment.

Turn to the pursuit of shock cavalry who specialize in hand-to-hand combat and charge.

Greatly Europeanized.

Being so Europeanized, Lord Qianlong felt that it was normal for his luck to return.

Although no breastplate.

But lances and scimitars are enough.

Although it is difficult to train to the level of the Cuirassier Brigade of the Ming Army.

But the Mongols are born to ride horses, so it is still possible to form a dense riding formation that looks almost like that.

Eight infantry towns.

Town of four dragoons.

Four shock cavalry towns.

There is also a light cavalry town.

Such a force.

It has also undergone such a major transformation.

It is very understandable for Qianlong to want to meet the Ming army again.

"The army is really strong." Zhu Daohua said, "So let's not let him escape with so many soldiers!"

"Your Majesty, our recent food war is in Jingzhou in Hejian Prefecture. Song Guogong can send people to guard the grain road and stockpile food in Suning in Hejian Prefecture! In this way, our army only needs to withdraw from the battlefield to reach it. Su Ning, think the way out!"

Tao Biquan pointed to the Suning limit on the map and said.

The handover of Suning in Hejian Mansion and Baoding Mansion is only a hundred miles away from Gaoyang.

And if the Ming Army Guards Corps wants to go, the distance of a hundred miles can be easily passed.

"Don't miss this opportunity!" Zhu Daohua didn't hesitate any more when he saw that the retreat had been arranged.

Immediately ordered the army to attack Gao Yang quickly!
Two days later.

March 1794, 3 AD.

The armies of both sides have already confronted each other on the plain south of Gaoyang.

Qianlong watched his enemies with a telescope.

Since Ganzhou lost two years ago.

He never personally led the troops to fight the Ming army head-on.

And these two years.

Qianlong was not idle.

It's a bit too much to say that it's hard work.

But it must have been exhausting.

At this time, after two years of exploration and transformation.

Coupled with the assistance of the British allies.

His "Big Eight Banners" army is more powerful than it was two years ago.

Right now it's on the front.

It's three infantry towns with 3 people

Divided into left, middle and right wings, each town also has its own deployment of infantry, cavalry, and artillery. The three wings have the ability to fight independently, as if three fists are placed in front.

In addition, he has five towns as reserves.

When the time comes, see the situation and try again.

At this time, next to the high-ranking generals of the Qing army such as Qianlong and Fukang'an, several foreign consultants who also wore the Qing Dynasty hat on their heads were also holding up binoculars to observe the Ming army's formation.

"Very calm, very brave, but there are too few of them!"

"They have a lot of artillery and rockets."

"We have rockets here too! We can harass them with rockets."

"That's the barbed wire? What is the Emperor Ming's head thinking, how can he think of all the attention?"

These foreign consultants didn't learn how to behave, and they dared to stand upright beside the emperor. Before the emperor could speak, they started yelling.

It's really a barbarian style, and they don't know the elegant etiquette of the celestial dynasty at all.

But Qianlong didn't care.

He is not his grandson Daoguang.

It’s not really possible to blindfold one’s own eyes——for blindfolding, it’s fine for Mongolian and Han people, and it’s a big fool to cover one’s own eyes too.

But Qianlong really never expected it.

My grandson Daoguang is the one who was fooled by me and blindfolded himself with the Han people, so that the British people came to the door and didn't know where the British country is. This is a big joke
"Your Majesty, I think you should order an attack immediately, because the Ming army has few troops now, but they have reinforcements. We must complete their encirclement before their reinforcements arrive!"

Britain's ambassador to the East, George Staunton, suggested.

Since there was no way to get any benefits from Da Ming, and the British Eastern Fleet was completely wiped out by Da Ming.

There is only one mission left for Georges Dangdong in the East: to help the Qing Empire resist the Ming Empire's offensive.

But now it seems.

George Staunton has done a poor job.

Just over a year.

The Qing Empire first lost the "ancestral land" in the northeast.

Then there are Huainan, Huaibei, Henan, and Shandong.

All the way back.

It can be said that the situation is quite bad.

But now, the opportunity has finally come.

Emperor Ming was a general who liked to lead troops in battle himself.

This gave the Qing Empire a godsend opportunity—the chance to surround the Ming Emperor on the battlefield!

As long as the siege of the Ming emperor is completed.

Then the Qing Empire and Britain can take the opportunity to negotiate with the Ming Empire.

Get what you want at the negotiating table.

at this time.

It is on the plain south of Gaoyang.

The [-] troops led by Emperor Zhu Daohua of the Ming Dynasty immediately built a military camp after arriving.

The positions made up of barbed wire and trenches are scary to look at.

"You can bombard their positions with artillery, clear their barbed wire, and then send infantry to press up and fight them against the wall."

George Staunton is obviously a soldier.

This set is also a tactic commonly used by Europeans.

It's just a matter of changing the solid shot guns into mortars and Congreve rockets that shoot cracked shells.

"Then launch the rocket first! Let Ni Ming see the power of my Daqing's rocket!"

It is different from incorporating rockets into brigades and artillery brigades and using them according to needs.

Qianlong chose to gather all the rockets together.

Formed a rocket army.

As soon as the name is heard, the momentum is magnificent.
